Edited to condense and bring info up to date!
I know there are some saddle gurus who lurk here so I figured I may as well post to see suggestions from anyone who’s had a similarly built horse.
Some background: Enzo is a 10 year old OTTB. I bought him last May and at the time already owned a Devoucoux Chiberta. Even after having it custom reflocked with wool, it caused him back pain so I sold it back in November. Because the billets were fixed to the flap, a line of pressure ran up through them and over his spine.
Here are some updated photos of Enzo’s build:

**I ended up ordering a custom Black Country Richochet with wither gussets and a trapezius panel. We tried a couple of different BC models and oddly enough, the Richochet has long tree points and Enzo liked it the best. Would have never thought to try one like that on him, but he loved it! We rode in the test ride for two weeks after our fitting because the rep graciously let us keep it until she sold her other demo and we had to send it back. Waiting for our custom to come in, but highly recommend Black Country for horses with a build like Enzo’s!!
