[RC] Question about Abetta Trinity Endurance Saddle - Rosalie Marley

I have a broodmare that I'd like to ride more, now that I quit breeding a while back.  She is a foundation appy with a wide back and mutton withers (but thankfully, she does have some withers!)  I don't know if she'll be any good at endurance, for now I'll be happy to get her in good riding condition.  I'd like to get her a reasonably fitting, inexpensive saddle, knowing she is likely to change shape.  She is not extremely short backed, she seems in proportion.  I prefer not to go treeless.

Has anyone used the Abetta Trinity Endurance Saddle?  One description I've read says the saddle has QH bars, the other says there are two gullet sizes, 6.75" and 7" none of which tells me anything.  The pictures only show the rider part of the saddle, they never show the part that goes on the horse!  Is it likely to fit a horse with this shape?   I have used a bareback pad so far, but would prefer support of a saddle at this point.  I rode tonight in my English saddle but that didn't feel very secure.  (I normally do ride in an English trail/AP or Dressage saddle.) 

Here is a link to the saddle I am thinking of, http://tinyurl.com/mc2t35 so you know what saddle I am asking about.

Thanks,
Rosalie Marley
