Just wondering on how they fit horses and how they fit for the rider. It seems like they have a deep seat. Any pros/cons for each?

I have a woody, its acatualy my friends but I'll be buying it. My horse is pretty thick and it's the wide flared tree. They are awesome to talk to though if you have questions about the trees and options, they have many trees to chose from. 

It is very deep but you can get out to push really easily. I love the seat and the fit on my horse. She was in an 8in crown C before and getting muscle atrophy from being too tight lower on her sholder. Its completely gone now and she reaches so much more. 

I've never ridden a C3 or raylee so cant compare them. The only downside is my husbands maturity and the fact I ride a "woddie" every day and "it fits so good" he also likes the fact my "girlfriend gave me a woody" so that's that lol.

My 7 year old can scoot around in it too it's really got a beautiful feeling seat

I have a C3 and I love it! I sent picture of my horse's back so they could recommend the best tree for him (mine is a regular with the 6.5" gullet, my horse is very narrow/high withered). It fits him great! I do still use a slightly built up pad for him, but my other saddle with the built up pad it still sat too low on him. I also sent my dimensions (height, weight, jean size, etc) to get the right seat size, and they were spot on too. The seat sits you really deep, and I went with a Cheyenne roll (as that's what I've always ridden in), and if you have a hard firer/turner, it keeps you really secure. They are a hard seated saddle, not padded, so if you typically ride a 14" seat, you may fit a 13.5" better. I ride a 14" in my padded seat saddle, and am a 13.5" in the C3. To be fair, though, I've also ridden in a 13.5" padded seat and was comfortable in it too. I was able to sit in one (actually after I ordered mine, LOL) that was a 13", and I could have fit it as well, although it was a little tight for what I prefer. If you can sit in one, I would totally recommend it. The C3 also allows me to keep my feet where I need them.
