[RC] Saddle - wide back, no withers - Tracy Browne

I am interested in purchasing a saddle for my mare that has low withers and
a very wide back.  The saddles are sitting lower on her than the average
horse because of no withers.  The saddle sit way down on her shoulders - and
she is very wide there and the saddles pinch because they are not wide
enough for what she needs.  I have tried the Wintec saddles, and their extra
wide tree is still not wide enough - I measured her with their gullet gauge
and it does put her at an extra wide but this is not accounting for her
combintatino of the lack of withers..  The wide Pessoa is not wide enough.
A quarter horse tree western saddle is not wide enough.  Would a treeless
saddle solve this problem??  Or an Orthofex??  Or do I need to go custom???

Please help, my mare has a sore back and I feel horrible about it.  Does
anyone have a saddle like this for sale?? Help steer me in the right
direction....

BTW, she is a straight Spanish bred Arabian.  We have been doing NATRC rides
this season, getting ready for slow 50s next year.  I would prefer an
English type endurance saddle.

Thanks for your help!
