Well, dimensions should be decided to fit horse and rider, so a blue print can't be given.
Although it seems the Roman saddle design (and perhaps also the steppe) was made like a one-size-fits-most, when properly stuffed, I wouldn't go with making a saddle without any knowledge on the horse it is for. Secondly I wouldn't advice you to make a saddle yourself, as long as you don't know about saddles, the horse back and dynamics. Better invest in a good one, for safety and the horses back!
