Basically the principles are the same, however, Western saddles are generally built on trees that are not adjustable. He suggests that you consult a western expert by buying a book or the DVD by Joyce Harman on Western Saddles and how to fit pain-free.

Thank you for sharing this info. I assume that this information goes for western saddles. I don't ride too much but I will consider next time I saddle.
