| For those of you that have Appendix horses that are built like a TB, being high withered, narrow, and lean... What saddles do you find work best for you? Or do you pad up a certain way?

| I ended up going with a Crown C. My boy has high withers and the. Flattens out in the back without being especially broad. A 7" gullet crown c fits him well. |

Location: PNW | I just ordered an Ultra Rocket for mine from Caldwell. It is contoured for his spine/withers but has their wide fit because he is surprisingly wide and muscular as well.
The TG is for the toothpick racehorses
The Rocket is for the average muscled race-built horse.
Good luck!!! |

I had a Billy just like that but i wore it out! lol! I got the 1530 now and it doesn't fit her worth a darn... Also have a couple Teskey's but they just aren't quite right.
I will look into the Crown C and Martha Joseys!

If you call and talk to Charon and email her pics of your horse - she will tell you what tree you need and then you can keep your eyes out for a used one. They have some used ones for sale in their shop also. |

I'm open to either but if it is used... I need it to be in Pretty good condition cuz I ride ALOT. I want something that will have atleast few years left in it with no maintenace besides cleaning and conditioning. |
