We're Barb Hetherington and Don McConnell and we own and operate Criss Creek Draft Tack located in the beautiful Tranquille Valley, just northwest of Kamloops. Don's family were original pioneers of the Criss Creek area after the Yukon goldrush and we are pleased to still be living here with our cats, dogs and of course, horses.

We thoroughly enjoy our Percheron crosses, using them for trail riding and dressage, however finding quality tack to fit has been a challenge. With this in mind, we are putting together a collection of English and Western tack to suit larger horses without sacrificing quality. Just because you ride a large horse, you should not have to accept less satisfactory tack.

Criss Creek Draft Tack is the exclusive BC dealer for Duett saddles, the saddle designed for wider horses. Available in trees from 32-42 cm, you can find a saddle that really fits! As we understand the need for a test ride, demonstration saddles are available. Click on the "Duett Saddles" link to look at the selection from Dressage Saddles, Trail Saddles, Jumping Saddles and All Purpose Saddles.

Wither tracings can be faxed to our toll-free number, or you may want to consider renting an "Equimeasure" and providing us a whole back model to help determine fit. Equimeasure rental will be credited towards purchase of your new Duett saddle.

If you would like more information, or would like to arrange a test ride, please feel free to contact us. Please also let us know if you are looking for an elusive piece of tack as we may be able to source for you from our suppliers.
