At first we
were skeptical of the claim that the Duett saddles would fit the really wide
"table backed" horses, since we have seen many other saddle companies that
claim ‘extra wide fits’. We took these saddles to a few of our ‘nightmare
fitting problems’ and we were thrilled with the results. These saddles
really ‘sit down’ on the horse’s backs and don’t leave you with that
unstable perched up in the air feel. We were very impressed with the quality
of the leather and workmanship in a modestly priced saddle. Duett offers
several different models. We are currently stocking the 'Companion Trail',
and the 'Largo' Dressage model, but the all-purpose 'Rondo' and dressage
'Encore' can be gotten by special request. Nancy Temple has devoted a lot of
time and effort into the creation of these saddles and she has been a wealth
of knowledge in terms of fitting suggestions and information. You can visit
her website at
www.duettsaddles.com.
and if you are interested in a model or size that we are not stocking, we
may be able to get one for you.

The Companion
Trail II is suitable either as
a pleasure saddle, or a saddle for competitive riders. The panels are wide
and supportive and are really ‘flat profiled’ for the table backed horse.
It has plenty of D rings and removable blocks that Velcro in so you can
choose where you like them!. We felt that this model was just awesome on
two of our extremely hard to fit horses. The girth billet placement was
excellent and allowed the girth to fall easily into the elbow area, and
not wind up way too far back on the horses belly. Additionally, the panels
have been shortened making for a much better fit on close coupled horses.
All of our riders found it comfortable and correctly balance and allows a
relatively long, straight leg. These saddles are available in 17, 17.5,
18, 19 and 20” in tree widths from 32 to 40 cm, and 42 cm by special
order. We find these saddles do run a bit small, so we definitely suggest
going up a size.
