Re: [RC] saddle fitting induced insanity - HELP - Chris PausI ride two Arabs in a Duett, in the AP model. I bought it for my mare, but found out it also fits one of my geldings. I had to get a 36cm tree. she's very wide! No spindly, delicate ay-rabs here, LOL...
Here's a link to some pictures with it on her:
without pad.. just trying it on: http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid143/pb4e70ef7a20bdcf005526c1d00a5f741/f69a6f6e.jpg
and all rigged up for distance riding, http://www.imagestation.com/picture/sraid161/p21e38bc7668a8eb98d62cddaf1fdaa5a/f4d68762.jpg
Yes, she's a purebred Arab, not a QH. We build Arab tanks and ATVs here, LOL....
I've ridden up and down some impressive hills in this saddle, ridden in dry and wet weather. It's comfy for me and for her. Like I said, I didn't know what a lovely smooth trot this mare has until I found a saddle that didn't pinch her shoulders.
