Veteran Posts: 277 Location: North texas	Ahhhhhh! I just finally got another horse after a long break after buying a very unsound one. So, I am an oldie newbie on here! I can't figure out what saddle will fit her. My Meleta Brown doesn't work that I bought for my last horse (boohoo). Too much rock. She has a flat and wide back without a lot of dip but still has a little bit of withers. I just bought a used Sharon Camarillo courts with fqhb and it is still pressing tighter than I like just past the pommel in the middle. I don't know anyone to borrow saddles from. I am going to be in the major doghouse with my non-horsey husband if too many more large saddle boxes arrive on our porch! I was thinking about trying a Charmayne Cactus record breaker? Anyone have any suggestions? Any help appreciated. I have already bugged wimpyb! Thanks!

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I have 2 Charmayne Cactus saddles and they fit a wider flat horse pretty well. If your horse has a high wither they wont work as well.

Neat Freak Posts: 11216 Location: Wonderful Wyoming	I have a horse just like that and the new tree Meleta Brown has is a perfect fit. I think 15" is the only seat available out there right now. I am waiting for them to rework the tree design to get my 14". I'm excited for sure.

You could order the Sheri cervi, or the Martin racer with a flat tree as well. Martin is great to work with on getting a saddle that fits both horse and rider well.
