Location: Oxford, Kansas		I've got a 2 yr old that is horribly mutton withered and my saddle is rolling. Curious if there is anything I can do or just gotta wait to see if he grows out of it? It fits perfectly he just has nothing to hold it up top!

You might try a thinner pad.

This! My mare is horribly mutton withered and she's 8. She's in a 9in gullet with a half inch impact gel pad. She's close to having to move to a 9.5in or 10in but the guy made my saddle custom just for her and used a tree with flatter bars than his standard wide tree and that's made the biggest difference. It fits her and only her. I don't think I'll have another one built quite like she is. Defiantly try a thinner pad. I tried everything from the cheap ones to a $400 Wade pad and the Impact Gel pad worked the best even before I had her a new saddle made.
