I JUST bought a Duett Fidelio earlier this month. I HIGHLY recommend them. My mare has big broad shoulders and a broad flat back and it fits her like a glove! The Fidelio has a slightly narrower...

I have always bought my horses very reasonably off of dreamhorse. I always have looked at the no picture ads and shot off emails to get pictures. You will be absolutely SHOCKED at what you may...

Thanks Watermark Farm! I ordered a demo Duett Fidelio and should have here in just a couple days. I'm glad to finally hear it does have a narrower twist. :)

I've known some lovely Georgian Grandes that were mostly the Draft/ASB cross, I prefer the cross with the Friesian. And I recently purchased an NSH/Friesian that is quite lovely. She's only 3, so I...

Thanks Ann! That does give me a good idea of how it will sit, and it appears your horse is similarly shaped to my mare, so that's good! :)

Thanks Mtngrl! I would appreciate a pic of the Fidelio you have, at least in all the pics of it I've seen, they seem to be fairly flat front to back, but that's a pic of a saddle sitting on a rack,...

Ok, for anyone interested. I measured my mare this evening and she needs a smidge over a 34cm tree!

For those of you familiar with Kieffer and Duett... how do the billets compare? If my girth is almost too big, will I need a smaller one for the Duett? I've noticed that my Kieffer billets have a...

Thanks for all the info everyone!! I just found out my friendly neighborhood tack store is out of Duett Dressage saddles, so I will be going down there to see what they have used (non-Duett) that...

Thanks! The only reason I'm not currently in the market for a $3000 saddle is because she's still growing and changing. Once she's fully matured and stopped changing muscle in her back (or maybe...

Hello Everyone! I come to you with a question. My lovely young mare has outgrown her dressage saddle and I must now find another one that will fit her. I've read all the forum posts on Toulouse and...

Just an FYI on the Crown Bridles, you can buy them at Miller Harness' website for much cheaper and they are SPECTACULAR for the money. I highly recommend them! :)

That is actually the exact configuration of mine! I love having the drop down windows on one side and the slats on the butt wall, it provides really good circulation. I have never had a horse out...

I have a Titan Avalanche, it's a slant load, but I know they also make some straight loads and warmblood size trailers. Mine is just the standard slant load without a rear tack and I have NEVER had...

Thanks 2DogsFarm and Drssg!! I will look into those as well!

Thanks! Is she at a barn in the area currently?

Thanks WBLover! I am planning on checking out her clinic, I don't know if I'll be ready to ride by the July one (recovering from a serious injury), but I will audit in the very least.

Oh no, I've heard of her, I actually showed at a show where she was the judge actually, but I hadn't heard any reviews of her as a clinician. And I haven't yet read her book.

Thanks! It's great to hear a good review! I will definitely be looking up her clinics this summer.

Thanks so much!

MassageLady - I don't know why I haven't seen that on the schedule... I live in Springfield! Haha.

All,

I am looking for a classical dressage clinic in Ohio (or northern Kentucky or Indiana) sometime this summer. Does anyone know of any? Are there any barns that have frequent classical...

Any of the ideas above! I love reading a good dressage inspired book! I really like Lori's idea of a non-traditional breed moving up through the levels or a rider that isn't as privileged getting a...

Thanks everyone for the great ideas!!

I will be trying these out as soon as it's a wee bit warmer outside. :D

Thanks!

She has been turned out in the indoor arena before and her main lookie-loo moment is always the back door of the arena. I've lead her through it, lunged her past it, everything and she...

Hi Everyone. I have a 3 year old Friesian Sport horse filly that has a tendency to be very spooky. When I try to desensitize her to random things, she does just fine with them. My big problem is...
