At 4, your filly isn't finished growing yet!  She may not get much 
taller, but her shape will definitely fill our and change.  Conditioning 
will also buff her up too.  It's a sad fact that whatever saddle might 
fit her now, may well not fit in a year or so.

When I use the wintec back meausre thing it has her as a medium wide. Most saddles when placed on her sit up off her back behind. Really am leaning toward the treeless route.
