 Don't Wanna Make This Awkward

Location: Texas | For a horse that's a mix between free runner/push style?
I need to be able to sit so I can rate in my turn but I also need to be able to get up out of the saddle.
If you've ridden more than 1 of their saddles what was your fav? |

| I like my Crown C. I chose that saddle because I was scared I would not be able to get up and out of the FX3. I love my Crown C. |

Location: Iowa | If you ride on your crotch then try crown c. If you like to sit on your pockets, try the racer. I'm 5'2" and prefer the racer. |

| I have both the Crown C and the FX3. I'm also 5'2". Although I like both saddles the FX3 helps me to get up over my horse and ride more forward after a turn but also allows me to sit and holds me in a turn. |

Thank you! That's just what I'm looking for.. Can you tell the difference by just sitting in them on a stand? |

Location: SE Missouri | I have 2 crown C, I'm also 5'2". I've not rode in the fx but these are the best saddles I have rode in to this point and have no desire to try another at this point.. I went thru 10saddles one year and I sure hope I'm done lol. (I actually made a little on each one and found someone just dying for my CJ cactus so I got into my first crown C CHEAP!!! Love the saddles.. Guess main point is it hadn't mattered style of horse.

I agree with this! I love my FX3 much better than my Crown C, the swells are bigger so they help in holding a deep position, but the stirups are set so you can get up and over in a hurry too! |

Can you explain more? You aren't rating soon enough on the first? |

Location: Utah | I've rode all 4 of the different types of Martin saddles. I have to older original Cervi saddle, that I really love. For me it seems to fit my free runners the best. It isn't a deep saddle, but I like the feel of it. I've had this saddle since 06 and it has worked on lots of my horses. For my more ratey type horses I LOVE my Racer. It has actually become my favorite saddle to ride, and I will be shopping for a new one here in a bit I think. It has the seat like my older Cervi, but is deeper and feels more secure on the horses that I have to ride up into the turns on. I rode 2 demos of the Crown C & bought one. I personally didn't like the way that it rode and sold them. I felt like I was riding on my crotch. I also had the FX3 demo. I liked the swells of the saddle, that part rode more like my Racer did, but the seat still felt like the Crown C. Brian and I have talked @ length and for me the Racer & original Cervi fits my riding style better than either of the new ones. In fact after the second Crown C demo, Brian told me find a Racer and buy it; that is what will fit your riding style better than the crown c. He was spot on & I love my saddle. |
