| Need a new saddle for my new guy. Hes got a bit of wither, but not much. Not terribly wide, probably more between a regular and full qh bar angle in most saddle. Really short backed. I am going to head down to the tack shop either today or tomorrow to see if they have anything, but was hoping for some suggestions on saddles that might work for him and which ones to avoid with a lot of rock to the tree. Pretty low budget $1200, well used is perfectly fine with me as I'm just going to be trail riding and schooling in it for now. |

| I absolutely love the new Reinsman Camarillo saddles. All 3 of my horses could not have different backs and they fit each of them perfectly. |

Location: Florida | I could not agree more, love the new Reinsman Camarillo saddles. I have a horse that is a little mutton back and another that has a rock to his back and the saddle fits both of them great |

Location: NE Texas | Check out Lynn Mckenzie's videos on youtube about the Nueva tree. Very informative as to how they have developed this tree to fit those in between horses. I recently purchased an almost brand new one and love how it fits my horse and the new comfort cantle on it is so nice. Unfortunately due to an old hip injury and the way my leg has to hang to be comfortable I can't ride it for very long without it aggravating my hip. I gave $2550 for it last week and am willing to take a loss on it to sell it. Even has a matching Double J breastcollar! Here is a link to one of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bm7-Xie5RI4

| Thought I found myself a winner at the tack shop yesterday, that was a no go! Unfortunately I can't return it, only exchange it, and I didn't see anything else there I thought might work, so that ones going up for sale! |

I think they will become popular when the word gets out. I actually bought three of them. All same tree but one is a little different size seat for one horse, and the other has a pencil roll for my crotch rocket new mare to help me stay with her !!! She fires like a crazed maniac...
Each of my three horses in a caldwell are
Rocket
Promax
Maxed out
All fit in my camarillo with no dry spots, etc.

Location: Alabama | Flint I want to see pics too! I have a 55 gallon drum on legs that I am trying to fit. I have talked with Felicia and she recommended the saddle that you have. I'm thinking about taking the plunge and buying one but it is so hard to do without being able to try one!
Would you mind posting pictures of your horse/s with and without the saddle on?
Are you having any rolling issues? EVERYTHING rolls on my mare. :( |

Let me see if I can get some pics later. Might not be until weekend. I have a 5 year old that EVERYTHING rolls on, but NOT the camarillo. Nice and steady!!!! My three horses are 10 year old mare, little narrow thing and weighs 1000 pounds with higher wither. I have a 5 year old with a broad back and dip/Caldwell rocket fit him asweome... and a tank on hoofs. 1300+ pound solid as heck geld. All fit new saddle. I know my caldwell friends are thinking im nuts but oh well. proof is in the pudding. I have sent all them pics with ZERO dry spots or rough spots/ |

Posting pics for Flit...
Top Picture is the 10 year old mare. pretty NARROW, High Wither. (Caldwell Pro max fit her awesome)
The other Bay horse is huge, 16.3, 1300 pounds plus Medium wither wide back ( Caldwell Maxed out fit him great)
Sorrel is my 5 year old that until this point was hard to fit. WIDE back, dip behind withers, and not much wither. Saddle rolled like crazy on him. 9Caldwell Rocket really fit good on him).
I sold my caldwells ( Cause they did not fit ME as a rider. Really smashed my man parts.... bad. ) to order one would different seat, IN ALL THREE TREES, would take a year or more at about 3800.00 PER SADDLE. No way.. SO I bought the Camarillo and it fits ALLLLLLL of them. And even more important they dont smash my man parts!!!!!! |

| Tried my neighbor's cactus ranch saddle on him, seemed to fit him decently. Anyone know if the ranch trees are much different from their other trees? Tried calling Cactus, but the of course are closed today. |
