Extreme Veteran Posts: 520	Whats another good saddle to try besides the cactus CJ that has very little rock and good amount of flare for the shoulder? ETA: Also should have said that might fall in the $1000-$1400 used range Edited by Buckles 2015-07-21 10:54 AM

Extreme Veteran Posts: 520	Thanks. I'd love the try the meleta brown, but can't afford it! I tried the old tree, it had way too much rock. I had an ironhorse too, but it dug into his shoulder. I have yet to try a todd slone. Are they as heavy as the meleta browns? Edited by Buckles 2015-07-21 11:36 AM

Curve Ball Posts: 2258 Location: Pelham, TN	I have a brand new Shallow Creek Saddle for sale that should be a great fit. We ride one similar on our wide shouldered horse.
