I used a Crates endurance saddle. these seem to fit a wide range of horses without much issue.
I am currently riding in a Synergist endurance saddle, and it is a fully adjustable treed saddle. The way i have it done is i do a molding of my horses back and send it in to Synergist and they custom fit the saddle to the horse. I believe it costs around 200$ for them to redo the tree to refit the horse.
I just ordered a Specialized saddle (http://specializedsaddles.com/new/) and these are incredible saddles. they are super comfortable and you can easily adjust them to fin the horse. they make several different models.
With a young horse a well fitting saddle and a balanced rider are of highest importance. I think a specialized saddle will give you the most bang for your buck, because you can quite literally custom fit it to ANY horse you ever have. They are awesome saddles.
