I'm wanting to buy an all round martin saddle, but am unsure what size of seat to order. I have no access to try on these saddles. I ride in a 14 inch crown c barrel saddle. Does anyone know if I need to stay with the same seat size or go up or down?
Thanks!

I'm not sure....but would love to see pictures if people have them. I was thinking of ordering one and was going to get a 13.5....I've had other 14" saddles and they are always just a touch too big. Plus I like to be able to get up and over and not get left behind and the smaller seat helps with that.

I ride a 14" in my barrel saddles and my all around is also a 14. it is older so maybe they have changed a bit, but i hate running barrels in mine! it's too flat seated! but it is great to just exercise one in or breakaway a few calves (when i don't want to throw on the heavy roping saddle)

Okay thanks! I was kind of worried about running barrels in them but I think I'm just going to buy a used Martin all around and then a used Martin Racer to barrel in. Then I don't have to barrel in the all round unless I'm running 3 horses.
