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...Extended, 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 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.
