Serfas Reactive Gel Womens Saddle

Advantages: no saddle soap needed to clean
Disadvantages: none

...Having owned 2 wintec saddles, I can't emphasise enough the greatest factor of all - not having to use saddle soap!!! With any style or model of wintec all you have to do to clean them is to just wash them over with the hose pipe!!! The first model wintec that I had was made of a gel type substance that in fact had no tree in it, so was impossible to break!! and because of being made of gel was less likely to cause any pressure points, as I am now breaking in my youngster this saddle is absolutely ideal for that job!! So i bought my other mare a new wintec, the syle that looks just like leather, and being reasonably priced at around £350 I reckon they are great value, you wouldn't pick up a decent leather saddle for that price. As with any wintec saddle you are able to change the gullet at the front of the saddle, should your... Read review

Advantages: comfy, good fit
Disadvantages: not many colour choices

...Expect to pay around £15-20 which is a lot cheaper then many other similar products avaible on the market. Available in several different colours including: white, black and green as well as the choice of 3 different saddle styles, they have a wide target audience and provide something for everyone. They fit the horse and saddle a lot better than some of the other pads i have tried and these also wash well.

Advantages: Easy to use and wash.
Disadvantages: None.

...standing still to be mounted, they are used to leg up and away. This made it more difficult to ascertain whether his back was a problem. After a while he did learn to stand perfectly by the mounting block but would sometimes hunch his back or buck up the drive. He was not the type of horse to buck and it was always with a thinner numnah. As he did not like thinner numnahs I spent loads of money trying to rectify the problem. I tried a gel pad between the saddle and the thinner numnah. This was fine and he seemed very comfortable but a lot of hassle to put on. Not only did I have the girth straps to contend with but trying to keep this gel pad in place when putting it on was almost impossible. Gel pads weigh a tonne!! (slight exageration there). That was too such like hard work. I have tried a pure sheepskin numnah. Whilst... Read review
