Wintec Saddle > Reviews

Advantages: Easy to care for
Disadvantages: Did not find any

...- Maintains value. I bought a Wintec saddle some years ago to use for breaking in youngsters. Horses and ponies change shape according to the time of year, diet and the work that they are in. However, their greatest period of change is when they go through the starting process, when they combine physical maturing and development of first working muscle. I bought the Wintec to use on New Forest ponies, which can be barell shaped and hard to ... Read review

Advantages: Light, changable gullet, relitavely cheap
Disadvantages: slippage, expensive gullets

...to treat him to a Wintec 500 saddle. Being 31, Pegasus has quite high withers but as hes a quite chunky horse, narrow saddles get in the way of his shoulders and sit too high on his back. (A very hard thing to find is a saddle thats built for chunky horses with high withers!) Obviously there arent many horses who are this shape so no one makes saddles to fit them!

Advantages: Easy to clean and look after
Disadvantages: Found it hard to fit my pony

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: easy to damage, doesnt look good, too light

...a competition, using an old wintec saddle and it looked really horrible. Like if she would use an old pullover on a horse back. Also I think, that these saddles are too light and thats not good. It doesnt protect the horse back from your weight and it keeps moving instead of lying still. True, they are cheap and easy to care about, but who wants to sit on a wet saddle? (the only way to wash it is with water). My opinion is, that leather saddles are ... Read review
