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 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 (see detail view)
Note: Center billeting system is designed to allow maximum freedom to the horse as it moves. There is no interference with the shoulder and the horse is encouraged to round its topline as it develops muscle and strength in the discipline. This new billeting system is particularly desirable for very broad horses with big shoulders who need to remain unrestricted in their movements. As with all broad backed horses, tight girthing is recommended to avoid side-to-side slip or forward slide.
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)
