A bit of a caution....a friend had her Duett fitted and stuffed twice, once
by
a fitter Duett reccomended; another time by a local person......it gave
her horse white hairs along each side of the spine...the local fitter said
the panels were too long, for starters, but tried to fit as best she
could...

The friend switched to Barefoot treeless...had used the Cheyenne for
trail, the London for arena...now riding the new Tahoe....the white
hairs from the Duett finally went away....and no new white hairs from
the Barefoots...
