Saddle with AW tree?

[cloudy18]

I’m on the hunt for a 15" saddle with an AW tree, which is for a wide flat-backed Arab. Preferably used, round skirt, wood tree (Steele tree). Saddle fitter prefers Crates but I’d be happy with whatever fit the horse and me both. My search is turning up nothing.

Is this something I’m going to have to bite the bullet on and order new? And best place to order, without breaking the bank? I know Allegany uses these trees, Rocking R. Advice, opinions? Better yet, find a used one. It’s for trail riding and lessons.

I’m going to answer my own question, in case anyone comes looking for an answer. Good luck finding used, as most people selling probably don’t know if they have an AW tree. Allegany makes saddles with that tree,but you can also order a Dakota with that tree for a small cost (currently about $52). You can order through horsesaddleshop or culturedcowboy. And possibly others. There are likely other options, but those are the main ones I found.
