I have more than 1 horse who has a flat back across the loins where the muscles are rounded. So it seems that the muscles are bulged one way, (up) and the saddle trees I have are bulged the other way (down). I need a saddle with flat bars and widely angled out. Some have said Crown C, but others have said they will rock. I can't spend $3000 on a new saddle. What do I do?
Seat wise, I like the looks of Crown C and Pozzi. I like a tall front end. I don't care as much about the cantle height. I do not like flat seats.

You should try the new tree that wimpyb has.... the Crates Meleta Brown Freedom Saddle. You can try one of her trial saddles and see if it will work for you before you buy. She's wonderful to work with and the saddle is of GREAT quality. I wish it would have worked for me.

I have a horse that is really wide as well and I'm looking at getting a Tod Slone, they are pricey but you could probably find one used for a good price. I'm looking at their #3 tree which is for wide flat backed horses.
