"..but riding treeless isn't balanced or stable enough..."
This is my Western pad after a hack with a VERY wiggly horse (mine). If your seat and/or balance is out, it will show, there is nowhere to hide. I'm not the most balanced rider around but I work on it all the time, even out of the saddle.
If you don't work on yourself, your horse will also suffer.

Feeding position to help saddle fit! 🌿
I am a great believer in feeding either from the ground or as low as possible. Simulating ground feeding whenever possible is encouraged for many reasons, but purely from a tack and saddle fitting point of view, it aids in stretching of the various back muscles and the Nuchal & Supraspinous Ligaments.
The unnatural head and neck carriage of a horse eating from high hay nets, and the constant tugging at said small holes hay nets can and do cause a repetitive straining on their anatomy.
This has a direct knock-on effect to poll tension, shoulder stiffness (which then connects to hock movement being inhibited) and back muscle weakness and tension.
I personally love using Nose Bagz for my own mare, as she is prone to high head carriage and anxiety.
So next time you're doing hay nets, look at the size of the holes: are they big enough to stop snatching and frustration? If yes, got larger holes nets and double them up.
Are you tying them up too high: does your horse have its head above a horizontal position to eat? If yes, drop them down or look at buying hay bags for the floor.
