I thought awhile back I saw Meleta Brown came out with a wide tree version to her saddle. I can't find it? The freedom saddle webpage is much simpler than I remember with nowhere to click to option pages.
Anyone have one? Know where to browse to buy one? Is the wide tree flatter bars or a wider gullet?

I spoke to Meleta about the new tree right before it came out, while it was still in the test stages. This is what she told me about it. I don't know where you can find one though.
" I have a new tree coming out this winter that has bars for horses with less dip and straighter backs that still has the flare in the bars on the front as well as the back. Been working very well for our test horses!......
..... I do believe with our running breds, the new tree will work well on long backs, wide shoulders or wide shoulders and straighter backs."

The saddle is not currently in production, as far as I know. The new tree was only ever available in a 15 because the design for other sizes wasn't completed before she and Crates parted ways. Last time I spoke to Meleta about this, she wasn't sure if she wanted to sign on with a new company, or just retire.
