ALL PURPOSE SADDLES
The Rondo is our favorite all purpose saddle. As with all Duetts, the seat is superbly comfortable. The Rondo allows you to forget about the saddle underneath you ... it has no hard edges, no uncomfortable pommel, and it has a wide platform to sit on! The minute you get into it, you'll feel right at home. For kids and ponies, the 16" saddle with a 34 or 36 cm tree is usually fine; if you want a 15" seat, contact us.

ENCORE

The Encore is the saddle that just "disappears under you." It's a saddle that gives great freedom to the rider.

The Encore is available in: 17.5",18", 19" and now 20" seat in a wide variety of tree widths: 32, 34, 35, 36, 37 and 38 cm!!

The Encore is elegant, exotic, and a delight! This is just a great saddle for the conventional dressage rider with an eye for style, for the close contact dressage enthusiast and a good choice for trail riders too, in our opinion. Its features are:

Made with high quality smooth leather on the flaps, nice, flexible and easy to break in.
Smooth knee pads (see suede pads in Trail category)
Black nubuck leather seat for superior stability and grip
Removable knee blocks for those who want the closest contact
The saddle is designed so that when you remove the block, another piece of shaped leather covers the Velcro™ area completely, keeping it free of horsehair, and the dust seat which is just a little flatter than the Aria seat, making the saddle somewhat less restrictive.
As with other Duetts, you will feel immediately comfortable and at home with the Encore.

17", 17.5", 18" - $1179
19", 20" - $1229

LARGO

The Largo is built on a tree similar to the tree of the Aria, with a deep seat and a semi-cutback in the pommel. Please note: the Aria and Largo models fit small due to the cutback.

This saddle is currently available in a few 17" or 17.5" seats, in limited widths, in 18" and 19" seats in 34, 36, 38 and 40 cm widths, and in 20" in 34, 36 and 38 cm.

The Largo is available in the very widest tree widths: 36, 38 and 40 cm. 42 cm saddles are available by special order.

It is characterized by:
smooth bridle leather.
smooth knee pads or nubuck.
black nubuck leather seat for superior grip
pronounced knee blocks
billeting system with two billets attached to the saddle tree in three locations is balanced and designed to stabilize the saddle; it is the same as the billeting system for the Encore saddle and similar to that of the Fidelio.
cutback pommel and very deep, comfortable, well padded seat
spacious gullet: about four fingers wide at the center of the tree
wool flocked panels which conform to the body of the horse and are adjustable as your horse changes shape
Keepers on the bottom of the upper flap allow billets to be threaded through, which helps pull the flaps tight to the horse.
Pretty, soft gray piping around the seat--subtle, but elegant!
Available in 36 cm (extra wide), 38 cm (extra, extra wide) and 40 cm (super wide) trees, as well as 42 cm (humongous!--by special order)
seats 17.5, 18 and 19, and some 20

19", 20" - $1229
 

COMPANION

The COMPANION is built on the RONDO tree. This is the tree that, at its widest, is the best fit on the table-backed, low-withered equines! (The narrower trees fit withered horses.)

These are the features of this fantastically comfortable saddle which make it ideal for both pleasure trail riding and endurance riding: Lightly quilted, soft seat is comfortable for unlimited hours...Wide panels distribute the rider's weight over a large area....Note: These are wool flocked panels and as easy for fitters to adjust as Duett's other wool flocked panels! SPECIAL FEATURE: Removable/moveable knee AND calf blocks give the utmost in flexibility to the rider! No fixed block! You can remove the blocks for closest contact, or you can move them back to support your leg differently, or you can change the angle! When you remove the blocks, there is a piece of shaped leather which you can attach to the Velcro™ to keep it clean.

Textured, grained brown leather on the flaps gives added grip and stability to your leg--it's durable, too!

Long billets used with dressage girth keeps the rider's leg comfortable....
Lots of D rings and a crupper attachment....
Available in 16", 17", 18", 19" and 20" seats (some in 17.5" also) with 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 cm trees.
NOTE: This saddle works well for Icelandics and other gaited horses.
In addition, with the movable knee block, it's easy to move the block back towards your knee and keep a nice, straight leg. Or--take the big front block off and move the little block forward, allowing more room for your leg or for shorter stirrups.

17", 17.5", 18" - $1179
19", 20" - $1229
 

TANGO

This model was designed with three types of riders in mind. First, it's for all of you who call and say "I mostly trail ride but I also want to school and show low level dressage," for those who ride GAITED horses with a long leg, and for those who want the comfort of the Companion models with the ability to ride with a long leg.

Note: this saddle is a hybrid of the COMPANION TRAIL--same padded seat and same wide, weight bearing panels--and a DRESSAGE, with a straighter flap and moveable block. The flap is just a little bit wider and a little bit shorter than on our dressage models. It will give you and your horse the long-distance comfort of the Companion trail.

The Tango has no back D rings or crupper attachment, so that the saddle can be used in the dressage ring. However, the factory fitter person can add D rings for a small fee.

17", 17.5", 18" - $1179
19", 20" - $1229
