[RC] Abetta w/arab tree question - heidi larson

Anyone out there have this saddle.  I have a Free & Easy for Ash, but my 11 year old stepdaughter is riding Donte (who is 21, semi-retired - no endurance, just long trail rides) and he's narrower through the withers with a nicely sprung girth, shorter back.  Autumn does not feel secure in his Wintec that does fit him, so we've been using a King western, that doesn't fit him very well, it's ok for shorter rides and she's a featherweight, but I just ordered the Abetta with the arab tree and was wondering if anyone has this saddle, pros/cons?  I've looked at the semi-QH barred one at PetSmart and it seems to be well made.  I know it's a little late for advice, but I got a great deal and I can always resell if it doesn't fit him well.  (I'd get him a Free and Easy like Ash's,  but I don't have that much extra money just laying around, plus she wouldn't feel as secure without a deeper seat.  (The Abetta has the suede and a deep seat, so maybe that will help her also.)
