Expert Posts: 1898	On big enough for you saddle to fit inside! Just kidding. When I sold my saddle I used a 30x24x24 I think. ETA: Measure your skirt from front to back for the length, the distance between both sides of your skirts for width and to determine depth measure from the top of the horn down to level with the bottom of the skirt then measure from the top of cantle to the bottom of the skirt. Which ever measurement is bigger either from the horn or from the cantle will dictate what depth box you'll need. So if the horn to skirt measurement is 23 and the cantle to skirt is 20 then you'll need a box depth of at leas 24". Edited by cyount2009 2014-02-19 12:47 PM
