I seem to have such a hard time finding saddles that fit my horses that I also like to ride in! Most of my horses need a wide tree and seem extremely hard to fit! I've tried martin-saddle fit my horses great however I hated how it felt to me! Tried G-G loved how the saddle fit me however would not fit well on 5 head of different horses.  C3 (this was a reg tree) did not fit 5 head of horses including a 2 yr old who is not yet wide absolutely loved how it fit me tho!  Double j have tried a couple of them they don't seem to fit me or my horses.  Tried a wide tree Ty Mitchell it did not fit my horses correctly.

It's crazy but right now my 2 go to saddles are actually cheaper brands and seem to fit me and my horses great (a Rocking T and a Futurity by Frontier).   Are there other people out there that are having the same problem as I am that can't seem to find the right saddle? I'm in need of a new saddle and just am not sure which one to go with I'm nervous that I'll buy something and I'll have the same issue it won't fit correctly. 

If anyone has suggestions on saddles to buy please let me know! Some of the saddles I am currently kind of interested in is a Martha Josey Ultimate wide tree, C3 wide tree (nervous this still won't be wide enough), tack world by circle y, and as a very cheap brand I'm somewhat curious about the Katy's Corral saddles and newer royal Kings as I have heard that both really aren't bad and fit a variety of horses.  Obviously the last 2 aren't near the quality of the others but would appreciate input on all ??

For a wide saddle, I've loved the Circle Y Flex2 in the WIDE tree for my horse Red. Leather quality could be better (for the price), but I've extremely happy with the fit and it's a comfortable saddle for me. I've had success with what used to be the Lisa Lockhart version (now they call it Badlands). Seems like the Kelly Kaminski and Martha Josey version fit just a little bit different.

My other two horses go great in the regular tree.
