Extreme Veteran Posts: 520	Has anyone tried both the cj cactus and tod slone (specifically the B3 tree)? Which would fit a very straight backed horse better? Edited by Buckles 2016-05-26 1:33 PM

It's not my fault I'm perfect Posts: 13739 Location: Where the long tails flow, ND	I was a CJ fanatic until I realized it made me dashboard my horses neck and my legs shoot behind me. My horse is also a tank and it fit her well but I just couldn't ride it to save my life. Just a tidbit of info about the ride.

Extreme Veteran Posts: 520	I do have a CJ. It makes my legs go waaaay to far ahead of me. Was wondering if the slone was any better

More bootie than waist! Posts: 18425 Location: Riding Crackhead.	I love my CJ for my wide horses but my mare who is wide and extreme flat back was making her sore. I switched her to a Lisa wide and it seems to work better for her.

Veteran Posts: 241	I have a Tod Slone B3 tree and it is the only thing that fits my very wide chested, wide shouldered mare who does not have a very straight back, she has withers and a dip behind her withers, as a matter of fact if I put it on my colt who has a straight/normal back it has way to much rock to it, so I would say it would not fit a straight backed horse in my opinion...but just e-mail pictures to Tod Slone Saddles and they will tell you exactly which tree to get, that is what I did and it fit my horse perfectly and I have tried pretty much every saddle ever made on her before this one LOL. Sorry for the poor descriptions, I am not great at describing what I see in my head LOL
