I have a new mare and she is race bred with high withers and the back of her spine sits higher then the point of dip behind her shoulders. I know I need a saddle with some rock to it. I like Caldwell’s and know if I go that route a TG is what I need. What other brands have rock. Besides Caldwell I like Martins. But I don’t know which saddle if any of there’s has rock?

I have a Burns and love it. I have a horse with higher withers and it fits him great. And me too. Worth the investment. They have a split in the back of the skirt, this allows for the saddle to really move with the horse. Probably didn’t describe that right.

Caldwell Rocket
I was told this one had rock but may be 2 wide. I love Caldwell’s though. I have a pro max but it’s not working for her. I am looking at other brands because Caldwell’s can be hard to find. And expensive

The TG's and Rockets are not that hard to find. THere is a FB page specifically for selling used Caldwells... But I agree with whom ever posted above. A PSC with the twist tree will save you a few hundred and should feel pretty similar to a caldwell.
