For what it is worth, my trainer who works primarilly with arabs, has 
two students who swear by their Duett.  I am just now starting to 
research it because I have a  young, WIDE, High withered gelding who is 
very sensitive.  If anyone has any feed back good or bad regarding Duett 
on arabs I'd love to hear it.  I hear they are not too terribly 
expensive and since he is only 4 I'd like to get something comfortable 
enough for him but save on spending the big bucks until he is 7 or 8 and 
done growing for the most part.
