WE SELL OUR SADDLES THROUGH
COLUMBIA BASIN KNOT COMPANY.
CONTACT THEM IF YOU ARE
INTERESTED IN A SADDLE OR HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
These saddles are specially designed
for the wide, table-backed, low-withered horse (does this sound
familiar?). The gullets are wide, and the seats are
comfortable, which ensures a good ride for both horse and
rider!
We will have more photos and information on our personal Duett
saddles very soon.
Although
the name DUETT is new, the saddle manufacturer has been in
business for 30 years and is well
established in Europe. All
the saddles sold by Duett are EXCLUSIVE to Duett and cannot
be purchased
here from anyone else. In addition, some of the
models are designed BY and FOR Duett and cannot
be purchased
anywhere else in the world. The key to the comfort of the
Rondo and all the other Duett
models is the superb design of
the seat ... no high pommel, no hard edges under your leg,
nice wide platform
for your rear end! You really do forget
about the saddle and are able to concentrate on your riding.
DUETT
saddles are built on a conventional saddle tree:
metal-reinforced laminated wood, with "spring
tree" - webbed
seat for rider comfort.

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 my 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
-
Removeable 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.

JUMPING SADDLES
|
Presto
Semi-deep seat, well balanced and
popular jump saddle fits horses with
or without withers; banana knee
roll, padded flap, square cantle,
smooth leather, wool flocked.
Boy,
is this saddle comfortable! And
unlike the flat-seated, foam flocked
close contact type of saddle, this
one is deep and comfy enough to be
used for all purpose riding, too.
You don't have to be up OUT of this
saddle in order to tolerate riding
in it!
Because of it's deeper seat, it is a
wonderful saddle for eventing and
foxhunting--it'll keep you
secure, but it has a moderately
forward flap for taking the jumps.
My
daughter uses the 36 cm version of
this saddle on our Haflinger and
loves it! It's extremely comfortable
and puts her in a great position for
flatwork and jumping, as the flaps
are not too forward. This saddle is
available in a limited number of
seat sizes (16.5", 17", 17.5" and
18") and a few tree widths (32, 34,
36 cm). We now have some 19" and
even 20" seat Prestos!

Allegro
Our
newest model for jumping is not
quite as deep as the Presto model.
It has a gently square cantle,
removable knee blocks (note leather
cover will protect velcro area from
dirt when block is removed) and
gusseted, wool flocked panels. We
feel that our wool panels are an
important feature, as they are
easily adjustable.
This saddle is offered in a wide
variety of seat sizes, from 16.5 to
18, in widths from 32 (medium) to 38
(extra, extra wide). 16" or 19"
seats and either narrow or wider
tree widths available by special
order with no extra charge.

Companion Foxhunter
Trail & elite
foxhunter saddle designed by and for
DUETT!
The COMPANION
FOXHUNTER is a variation on the
Companion trail model. This saddle
is useful for trail riding, since it
has the same comfortable padded
seat, removable knee and calf blocks
and the same tree and flap design.
However, with short billets and two
brass D rings on the right side of
the seat, in a gorgeous, rich brown
leather, it has the right look for
foxhunters, or for trail riders who
want a more traditional style.

TRAIL SADDLES
Companion Trail
Trail
saddle designed by and for DUETT!
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:
Removeable/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.

Tango
Our newest
model.......the TANGO
This model was designed with three
types of riders in mind. First, it's
for all of you 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.
We
have only one sample in stock, and a
few others have been sent to some of
our tack shops. In January of 2008,
we will be well supplied with a
variety of seat and tree sizes.
We
have ordered the Tango with no back
D rings or crupper attachment, so
that the saddle can be used in the
dressage ring. However, our fitter
and repair person can add D rings
for a small fee.

Bravo
Saddle
designed for gaited horses which
allows riders to optimize use of
weight aid.
Note: this saddle does not have long
panels and will not encourage
pressure on the horse's loins.
Comfort for the horse is primary, as
in the design of all Duett saddles.
This
saddle also works well for riders
who don't like a saddle that feels
confining; the lower cantle/flatter
seat can work well for riders with
this preference.
These
are the features of this
fantastically comfortable saddle
which make it ideal for pleasure,
trail, endurance riding, and
competition:
-
padded, soft seat, comfortable
for long hours on the trail
- soft
bridle leather on flaps
-
straight flap encouraging proper rider
balance with legs in correct position
- wool
flocking for adjustability
- nice
wide gullet (see photo)
- NOTE:
The photos show this saddle with short
billets. It will be available with long
dressage billets only.
SPECIAL FEATURE:
Removeable/moveable knee 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.
