Location: Muskogee, OK | Has anyone ever ridden in both? If so could you tell me the differences?
I currently have a Triple Creek that I LOVE, it is so comfortable to ride in at home (and pretty to boot!) but I feel as though it sometimes may throw me off during runs. It is the bear trap style (wasnt exactly what I wanted but I bought used and the price was too good to pass up), so I am partially wondering if that may be part of it.
Anyways, I have been looking into the Sherry Cervi Martin's as I've heard some good things about them as far as sitting you right and keeping you balanced in your runs.
I know these are two completely different saddles, comparing apples to oranges here but I was hoping maybe some of you have had the opportunity to ride in both and could offer your input.
Thanks! |

Location: North Dakota | I have ridden in both and hands down take my Crown C over a TC any day. I hated my TC, it always threw my feet forward and I didn't like that about it. I never really felt secure in the TC.
The Crown C is a totally different story. It keeps my feet under me where I like them, the cantle cups your butt, and the seat puts you in a position to be able to sit deep and ride your turn. It really fits my style of riding. The quality and craftsmanship on my Crown far supasses that of the TC, but thats just my opinion. |

Location: Muskogee, OK | Thanks for your input!! Have you found the Crown C hard to fit to horses? I've heard wonderful things about how it sits the rider but lots of negatives about being hard to fit. |

I'm not going to lie, it can be a bit tricky getting them to fit just right. I find it most difficult when my horse is inbetween gullet sizes. However I am able to make it work with different padding/shimming options. I have friends that have never had a problem fitting them. I think it depends largely on the horse.

Location: here | Havent rode a crown C but I find my TC keeps me very balanced to run in. I think you can get straight hung or forward hung stirrups. |
