Hi Wanda, the saddle holder is 70 1/2" clip to clip. I'll post the other pix of it too. So far I've only used it a couple times, as we haven't gone out trail riding since I made it. And I think we'll be staying home and doing groundwork for a while. I usually use an upturned water tub (their hay tub) to mount off of, or the side of the trailer, or the fence, rather than mounting from the ground. There is a pic of the saddle holder clipped to the saddle dee, altho on a trail ride I will probably put it in my saddle bag. The idea of using fleece is a great one! Only problem is that it would be bulkier for carrying on the trail. I used an old nylon girth, punched some extra holes in it (the hardest part of the whole project), used 2 old flysheet clips, one on either end, and tied the ends w/ extra pieces of rawhide. It took me about 10 minutes to make after I had everything together, and I'm not a particularly craft-y person. So I think anyone would be able to make one. Robyn S
