I’m riding one horse in a Duett Fidelio right now and it fits her OK, not perfect, but me not at all. It’s a 34cm tree and just wide enough for her but really it’s a bit flat front to back, possibly doesn’t really have enough clearance under the middle of the seat and also a bit long in the panels. Horse is wide but has big tall, well muscled withers, almost like a stallion, a short back and is a bit croup high. She goes well enough in it but she’s a go-along, get-along kind of horse. I like the seat ok on the Fidelio but my leg really doesn’t fit on it even though the seat is quite big for me, probably too big really.
I’ve found a County Competitor, newer version used and in good shape, for sale in an XW tree and I know it will fit me, it’s my favorite saddle. I think it will fit the horse better as it has a more curvy tree front to back and more clearance under the seat for the long wither plus I can go down a seat size as the flaps will fit better so it will be shorter in length. The overall design of the County I think will fit her better, I’ve ridden similar horses in them. My main question is will it be wide enough? Does anyone have any idea how these two might compare?
I will do a trial but if someone can definitely say “nope that’s way narrower in front” then I’ll save myself a couple hundred bucks in shipping.
