Location: on a horse | Did you watch video on their website. Pretty good explanation of each ( unless it has since been removed). Charon is very good at explaining what you may be looking for. Also may be just not answering because of weekend |

Location: Where its cold and hot | There are two lines of trees in caldwell. Those intended for a flat backed cow horse (pro racer, pro max and maxed out), and those intended for horses with higher withers (TG, rocket and ultra rocket). Each goes up in gullet width with the maxed out and ultra rocket being the widest at 8 3/4". |

Location: Mississippi | Charon was great helping me - I sent her a lot of pics of my gelding and she immediately suggested which saddle to order. I was a little hesitant since I was told he needed the ultra rocket because the Cactus saddle I have for my mare is too wide for him but she explained to me how Caldwell's were supposed to sit and it made more sense. I waited almost a year for mine and just got it a few weeks ago - SO WORTH IT! Most comfortable saddle ever and I finally see what all the fuss is about  |

Location: Southern Wisconsin | I have an Ultra Rocket with an 8.5 gullet. It fits my high withered, broad shoulder/backed gelding. He is also low backed and high in the hip.
I sold it once because I decided to sell the horse, horse stayed and I was lucky enough to get the saddle bought back. Lol |

Location: Where I am happiest | My hubby bought me a new Caldwell last year for my birthday & Anniversary. It is a Pro Max plus. Meaning it is 1/2 size bigger then the pro max but 1/2 size smaller then the maxed out. She was so helpfull in the ordering off the pics of my horse and it fits like a glove. I agree with the above, it is the most comfortable saddle I have EVER ridden! |

| You can always call Charon... I absolutely love talking with them. In fact, last time I went up there, it was for about 4 hours chatting about saddle making. She is extremely knowledgeable and helpful, so if you have any questions that aren't answered somewhere online, def call her.
There's just one problem with a Caldwell... It's hard to run in anything else after you run in a Caldwell. |
