Location: Finally horseback again.... | I'm a recent Caldwell convert thanks to kaycee. When people say they ride better than any other saddle. They are right. I bought my first a few months ago and ended up buying a second . I will be looking for a third soon. The balance in your seat is incredible. |

Uh oh, it sounds like someone might have a problem.  |

Location: Where the long tails flow, ND | I am really loving my Tami Semas by Jeff Smith.
I've recently had a Lynn McKenzie Special, Carl Ammerman, and CJ by Cactus. I like all of them but this Tami really keeps me where I need to be to ride my horse more correctly. Not to mention I've had it fit a variety of horses so far, I have the wide tree. |

Location: NW | Love my caldwell saddles :)
I bought a new Neil Merril and i really like the saddle! It is light and tends to fit many different horses. I put my nettle stirrups on and it really rides nice. :)
you have to be carful and treat these saddle very carefully so you don't damage the saddle.......But I do really like it!!!
My caldwells fit only certain horses with what tree I have. Great balance and are the heaviest saddle I have ever owned because they are so well made!! you won't get a better made saddle.
I have had coats, allen ranch and other saddles.............
I think it is nice to try all different saddle makers and then you will know what you like and don't like. |

| I have never had the luxury of a caldwell, but have prob tried at least 12 different brands/ makes of saddles, and always come back to the Pro Riders.......I like the 7" gullet as well, and am now using a 7.5. They fit my horses well and are a very balanced ride. Tried the treeless route of Circle y, all models, and though comfortable, I ride much better in a Pro Rider . |

| I love the Caldwells on some horses and then the Pozzi on different types of styles. But the Tami Seimas is really nice!! I have all 3 and all of them have different bennifits for individual horses! I am a tack Junkie!!  |

| I've ridden saddles by Sharon Camarillo, Tex Tan, Longhorn, Cecil Phillips, Shiloh with a Buster Welsh tree and a Contender, Lynn McKenzie, Tammy Fischer, Todd Sloan, Kim Thomas, Martin and Deb Sibley .. oh and I tried a Lisa Lockhart. Some I tried when trying horses, others I've borrowed trying to find something that fit my horse! I've not been able to try a Caldwell, Coats, Crown C, or any of the others ….
Out of what I have ridden, my favorites are the Shiloh with the Buster Welsh tree, Todd Sloan, Cecil Phillips and the Sibley. With all that said, my horse prefers the treeless TF, so that's what I ride. He runs and turns harder for whatever reason. So as someone posted before … whatever fits my horse.
