I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	How do the seat sizes run? Same as the Bob Marshall? Currently riding in a 15 in BM but I'm sardined in. It was recommended by the seller that I would fit fine in a 15.5 Jackie. Based on the BM guidelines I would need a 16 or even a 16.5. Do the Jackie's fit differently?

Boot Detective Posts: 1898	They "run small". I ride a 14" seat in a treed saddle. My Jackie J is a 14.5 but there is no extra room in it. If I bought another, I would buy a 15.5 seat. They ride pretty awesome though.

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	Thanks for the replies! i really need a 16 but of course they only come in 2/2 sizes. Guess it's better to go up a size then down?

I hate cooking and cleaning Posts: 3310 Location: Jersey Girl	Yes but that was over a year ago when I was a bit slimmer. I currently have a 15in Bob Marshall thats too small. Ok to hack around in but when I put my stirrups up where they need to be to make a run in I really get sardined in. I went ahead and ordered a 16.5....hopefully the 1/2 in won't be a huge deal.

Sorry I don't have any advice Posts: 1975 Location: Sunnyland Florida	I ride a 14.5 in a treed saddle, and a 14.5 in a Jackie Jatzlau actually feels a bit big. I don't agree that they're smaller. I really like the way they ride!

Expert Posts: 2678 Location: Mi	I ride in a 14.5 treed saddle. Both my Jackies Js have been 15.5. I will say they might be a tad big BUT I don't think I'd want to go any smaller for fear they might seam to snug. I have room, but I don't feel like its to big by any means.

I figure best to have a little too much room then not enough!

Shelter Dog Lover Posts: 10277	I have a friend who rides in a 14 and goes up to a 16. The way her horse is built it "folds in" and makes it smaller-her words.
