Billy Royal Guides collect practical answers for owners and buyers of Billy Royal saddles and tack: how to choose a size, how to tell whether a saddle suits your horse, how to look after leather and silver trim, and what the listings do and do not tell you.

General advice, such as how to measure a horse's back or check wither clearance, is marked as general practice and not a Billy Royal rule.

About this library
This is an independent guide library, not an official Billy Royal or Schneiders resource. Amazon links are affiliate links. No prices are shown, because they change; check the listing for current price, sizes and availability.
Billy Royal is a tack brand associated with Schneiders Saddlery, and its materials describe more than 50 years of craftsmanship. These guides take the approach that a claim should be stated only as far as the sources support.
