I am thinking of trying another Martin. I am having a terrible time fitting my horse as I have already posted, my martin was the closest thing that fit him, I have gone through 5 more saddles since. The only problem I had with it was that it tipped very slightly forward when going down a steep incline and pinched slightly right around where the conchos are. He had some pretty big pockets behind his shoulders at the time, I am thinking I really should have tried to shim the saddle until he filled out or just tried a better pad so it didn't dip down into the pockets.
I had the iron horse version. How do they new martins fit as compared to the older models like the iron horse?

I have a crown c and fitted it this weekend with a guy from Martin, very informative and I highly recommend giving them a call and seeing if there's anyone in your area trained to fit them.
