I bought a Wintec saddle for my 13.2HH pony. Her old saddle was looking rather worse for wear and I felt I change was needed. I was a bit sceptical about buying a synthetic saddle as I have always had leather saddles in the past. Obviously the synthetic saddle are not 'made to measure'. I thought this would not be a problem as much of the advertising says with the easy gullet system, the saddle should fit any shape. However, I did not find this to be the case. Even on the widest setting, the saddle was too small and often slipped to the side ( I was unable to mount off the floor without the saddle slipping!) I was very disappointed as I had spent money on buying a gullet gaugeto see which size my pony needed. The gauge showed that the size I picked should have fit, however this was not to be the case! I do, hoever, have a few friends who do own a saddle like the one I purchased and who have had no problems. I must admit, the saddle was extremely comfy and very easy to look after. The CAIR system sounds very good as it is supposed to fit the countours of your horses back. I would imagine this would be a good buy if you can manage to get it to fit your horse as it is durable and not too pricey!
