Do you know if they come in wide tree sizes?

I have gotten the impression that they mostly fit the narrow / high- 
withered type horses, and don't fit big-shouldered, round-barrel types.

I've always wanted one, mostly because I thought they would be  
really, really secure, but didn't think they would fit.  The price  
was a bit of a stopper, too.  At the moment, I can only afford to buy  
one pricey saddle.  :)
