My horse is built very similar to the OP's horse and I just bought a Martha Josey (Circle Y) WIDE fit (05 tree) and it fits great

Thank you for sharing.  There are so many options.  I know that some people look only at gullet size when in reality it's tree width/angle that's important too.  I'll check out the one you posted. Thanks!

Double J Pozzi Wide tree and a Saddleright Pad was the answer for my mutton withered, broad shouldered, flat backed horse..

The best one I ever found was Meleta Brown's #2 tree. I wish I could find another one that fit like that. Nothing has fit him as well since then.

Oh! Just saw this.

I actually ended up buying a Just B Natural at Youth World. Leather quality is not the greatest but it really works at keeping me on this horse. He's only getting stronger and more catty the older he gets. 

Still some issues with loin soreness but not nearly the problems we had before. I very seriously considered a Caldwell (and may end up there eventually) but I wanted to wait until he was mostly done growing and filling out before I dropped that much money on a saddle.
