| I LOVEEEEEEEEEE the feel and the way it fits my horse!! I bought a new one and just got it yesterday. My mare used to be on the narrower side but since being on regumate she has really plumped up over her back. Its quite flat and she lost some wither. But the CJ wide tree fits her beautifully and I really enjoy the ride myself! I feel like I am secure with my legs directly under me and not going to get pushed forward OR back. So far I love it!!! Suade bottom is kind of cool to, never owned one like that.  |

Location: North Dakota | Got pics? That's on my list of saddles I'm dying to try. My horse is big bodied, flat, and needs a good flare at the front for his shoulders and I've only heard good things about Charmayne James saddles for that type of horse. |

Thanks for sharing. My mare is thick backed, and has little to no withers and I'm struggling with saddle fit. I may check into this saddle. |

Location: Montana | I almost bought one used...but the seat size was too big for me, so I passed on it...some days I kick myself and wish I hadn't. But if it didn't fit me, I'm not sure it would have done me a lot of good. |

PM Me your email and I will send some pics right over!! Thats EXACTLY what my mare needed. Good bar Flare in FRONT and over her wide loin!! Be happy to send a pic!
Just FYI, I bought from Felicia at www.horsetackworld.com She is extremely knowledgeable!!! I described my mare, sent pics of her back. SHe has some of the best prices around cause she literally has 100's of saddles in her shop. SHe must get volume discounts or something. Always there to answer questions and FAST shipping.

Location: USA | Flitastic..... looking for some updates on your saddle and what you are thinking now that you have had it for awhile. Whats the difference between the CJ and Team Camarillo. Needs something really wide. |

Absolutely LOVING IT still!!!!! It's awesome. My mare is so happy and it allows me to ride her right. I love it so much I bought a second one for my colt built the same way! The Camarillos are wide but the CJ is for a wide shouldered flat back horse ! |

| I have a CJ cactus saddle that fits like you described! My gelding is huge and the flare is perfect for his shoulders. |
