I totally agree, Christina!  I believe that part of a saddle's function 
is to protect the horse from the rider's movements and the rider from 
the horse's movements.  So its even more important for a heavyweight 
rider to have a supporitive saddle.  By that I mean a saddle with a 
tree.  That's just my opinion; I know there are plenty of heavyweight 
riders using treeless saddles but for most of us, since we're not the 
best balanced and athletic riders out there, a tree protects our horse 
from us better than a treeless saddle does.
