I have always used treeless saddles and loved them I have a Bob Marshall and Jackie's circle y. I have never ever had a problem with them before until my new filly she is a FWOTR 2 coming 3 year old. She doesent have a whole lot of withers and is pretty thick through the shoulders. Both the BM and Jackie's saddle roll on her unless they are super tight and the both leave try spots. I thought the treeless was supposed to fit everything and they always have for me before but I don't like them on her.
What type of tree would work best on her build? What's the Pozzi # 10 all about?

I had a son of FWF that had huge shoulders and then would narrow down to his hips. He was a saddle fitting nightmare and I ended up using The CorrecTOR pad on him.
My current gelding is also wide in the front and I just bought a used Jackie Jatzula in the wide tree and so far it's working out great.

Ok, thanks for the info on the # 10 tree! I've always liked the Pozzi and saw that # 10 for sale on here and would have bought it but that won't work on her. She has like muscle bulges on top of her shoulders on the sides of her withers. Since she's only coming 3 how much do you think her back will change as she grows?
