I have a 2yr old that is built like a barrel and still very butt high, my double J #10 tree that I have for my other horse doesn't fit him. Im not gonna start riding him until this fall and I know his back is going to change somewhat, but what fits your guy's mutton withered barrel backed horses?

If possible take your horse to a saddle place & have him fitted. I took my wide guy to allen ranch saddle shop & they have different trees so we got the right fit for slyder.

Have you ever considered a Treeless? I used a treeless with a CSI pad on my colt until he stopped growing, it kept him from getting sore and it worked great until I could get him into a saddle that could fit him. If not, I also agree a Cactus Charmayne James fits those wide mutton withered horses.
