  • Saddle for my new horse

    From John Hasler@21:1/5 to All on Tue Jan 12 13:28:31 2021
    I've had Henry since last spring, actually. He's a 16.2 quarter-shire
    so my old Wintec sport comes nowhere near fitting him (haven't even
    tried riding him in it) I'm considering a Duett. Opinions?

    Got Henry measured but couldn't get a photo of his back: he wouldn't
    stay still with my wife holding him and me up on a block behind him.

    However, when I tried it with her not there by just telling him to stand
    he was fine. Didn't have the camera, though. Need to get him (and her) comfortable with her holding him.

    I bought a Smith-Worthington Danzig. Seems to fit Henry well (they
    fitted it using tracings, measurements, and photos I sent them).
    Beautiful saddle.

    Congrats on your new saddle! I hear the Smith-Worthingtons are very nice!

    Thank you.

    It's the best saddle I've ever owned, though a lot heavier than my old
    Wintec (which had no chance fo fitting Henry).
