Expert Posts: 2335 Location: IL	So I'm looking for a Martin FX3 and I can't find one for sale in my size and gullet. What other saddles sit you back on your pockets? I have a Crown C and I really like it, but it makes me ride more forward.

Expert Posts: 5290	Depending on how your horse is made, the Charmayne James saddles sit me PERFECT, certainly not over the front. More " Stable Middle" I would say. I just love them! But they best fit a bigger solid horse with a good top line. If you have a real narrow racey type, probably not the saddle for your horse.

My mare is young only 5 and top line isn't were it will be and my other mare is super stocky.
