Location: TN | I haven't ridden in a Martin Racer so I'm not sure. I think the only difference is how they fit you in the seat. |

| Since you're talking about horse fit, I will put in a big thumbs up for Martin. I took my horse to be fitted at Teskey's where they had 6 1/2, 7, 7 1/2, 8, 8 1/2, and 9" gullets. The saddle fits her very well, and I love what it does for me. Not all businesses that sell Martin saddles have all of the gullet sizes though. For example, NRS only had the 7" which I consider pretty narrow. I chose to get the roughout seat with no padding and it is very comfy. |

Location: Utah | I'm pretty sure that the basic tree style is the same, and they more change the seat. I have a Martin racer and the original Cervi and they seem to fit my horses pretty similar. I would get in contact with Martin if you have more questions, they have always been more than wonderful when I have worked with them. |

Which one do you prefer? |

Location: Iowa | I have both the racer and the crown c. The racer sits you more on your but and the c is more on the crotch. I have short legs so the racer works better for me. I'm 5'2. |

Location: In the freezing north! | I have two of the original Sherry Cervi Martins, and had a racer...traded the racer for one of the originals...loved the saddle, but it would severely chuck me forward on a ratey horse. I think the stirrups are hung a little more forward, then the original. I also think the originals have a flatter seat, and the racer has a tilt to it. I've sat in the Crown C's, but I won't even put them on my horse as I can tell they are not the type of saddle I like to ride!
I love my Martins! |
