What Wintec Say: Developed in conjunction with World Dressage Champion, Isabell Werth to support both horse and rider. The difference the Isabell saddle can make to your riding is quite profound as radical features take the effort out of sitting in the correct position.

The Wintec Isabell is versatile, lightweight and provides the easy care benefits of Equisuede.

FEATURES:
Performance driven tree and seat shape
Super-Enduro seat foam retains its resilience and won't ride down, flatten or harden
Soft Sorbtec knee inserts moulds to the rider's knee shape
Newly positioned stirrup bars are positioned 5cm (2") further back than standard bars
Adjustable Flexibloc System enables the rider to individually tailor their thigh and knee support
Adjustable Y-Girthing System secures the front and back of saddle
High performance panel that is long, even and narrow in the waist
CAIR® Panel System provides maximum comfort for your Horse
EASY-CHANGE Gullet System allows a saddle to be custom fit within minutes
What I Say: I have been doing dressage since I was a young teenager and I generally always had leather saddles which if the horse outgrew you would have to get another saddle and in the end it got expensive! A few years ago when I bought yet another horse I decided as he was a youngster I would opt for this saddle purely because as he grew, he toned up, muscles were formed properly I would be able to adjust it accordingly!
Well I have now had him 2 years and I still ride him in this saddle! Its so comfortable its a dream to ride in and it fits in perfectly. Nowadays I dont have to change the gullet has hes pretty much filled out but I know I wont have to go to the expensive of swapping and changing saddles which saves me money!
The only downside was when I first rode in it the back is high and can tip you forward but the more you ride in it you get used to it. As long as its kept in good condition it stays perfect!
I have been caught in the rain before now and have worried it might stain the saddle but it didnt which was even better!
And being synthetic you dont have to clean it so often!!
Ideal for the everyday dressage rider!
