Location: North Dakota | I am not petite, therefore I do not ride the petite nor have I ever, however, I have rode in several of the standard camarillo's and really like the saddles your feet hang down straight, not too forward or too behind, the "hip hugger" seat keeps you balanced and theres a pretty good swell on them. With that said, I recently bought a Mary Walker saddle that I love and is really A LOT like the camarillo it just has a little higher swell and rise in the seat plus was made in the seat size I needed.
If you want more specifics on the tree there is an email to a gal on the camarillo website and she is very helpful getting you specifications if you can get the specific serial number off the saddle you're looking at.

Location: the other T-town, Oklahoma | I have an older Camarillo Courts saddle that I LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!! i don't know if it is petite or not? it is a 13 or 13 1/2 not too sure but it fits me and my horses perfect. It has a squarer shaped cantle and i feel like it locks me down in the turns. it was used when i got it so i am not sure what year or anything other than I LOVE IT>> |

| I have a Sharon Camarillo saddle that I bought back in "1986".
I've tried out a few other saddles over the years thinking I might find something I liked better, and I will no longer waste my $ on trying anything else. This saddle fits me perfectly, and I've kept it in top condition. The seat is deep, kind of hugs you when you sit in it. And it's fit every dang horse I've put it on. I have had several friends who have tried it out and attempted to buy it from me. Not!!! I figure this saddle is going to last me for the rest of my life. Heck, I've even designated it to be left to one of my grandaughters who is constantly begging me to let her have it. I can't think of one bad thing to say about a Sharon Camarillo saddle. Well made saddle, built to last. |

Location: Oxford, Kansas | Sold mine about a year ago and regretted it ever since.. Had an opportunity to buy one yesterday and jumped all over it. By far my favorite saddle of all time, fits me and my horses very well and very nicely made! |

Location: Buffalo, Wyoming | I have an older one, I believe it is a 1993 model. It has fit pretty much everything I have put it on. It is my go to saddle when we are moving cows or just riding in the mountains. I always say I am going to sell it since it is a little big for me but I just can't do it. I have tried the newer Camarillo's and do not like them at all. |
