Meleta Brown's 2nd tree, the wide/flat one. Are there any other saddles out there that fit similar to it? I had one, it fit my horse better than anything else, but I sold it because it just wasn't fitting me. I will regret it forever because I can NOT find another saddle! Since they can't be bought new, and are impossible to find used, I'm left trying to find something else. It doesn't even have to be a barrel saddle.

Yeah, mine is the only saddle that fits my horse right, but not me. I deal with it because I got tired of looking and buying saddles that don't fit him. Can't help ya, but good luck with your search.

Possibly a Black Rhino #2 tree? Another one to look at is a Shiloh Flying M tree. I have this and it fits my gelding like a glove that needed the wider Meleta tree.

I don't think so because I looked everywhere and bought several. I eventually found 2 but it took me about 3 yrs to find the 2nd one. I need a 14" and only find them in 14 1/2 + so I just went with the 14 1/2". If you send her a message she sometimes knows of one for sale.
