Wintec Close Contact Saddle

Product Description

The Wintec Close Contact Saddle is a practical, easy-care jumping saddle designed for riders who value freedom of movement, a balanced position, and a close connection with their horse. Its open seat and low cantle support the flexible riding position needed for jumping, schooling, and working over fences.

Made from durable, leather-look synthetic material, this saddle combines a traditional equestrian appearance with convenient maintenance. Its streamlined design helps the rider maintain a natural leg position, while the rear Flexibloc provides additional support and stability during jumping activities.

The saddle features super-soft panels designed to mould around the horse’s working muscles and accommodate its natural movement. A changeable stirrup keeper allows for personalisation, adding a practical finishing touch to the saddle’s design.

Available in the Wintec 500 Close Contact and Wintec Pro Close Contact versions, this saddle range offers options for riders seeking dependable performance, everyday practicality, and comfort during jumping sessions.
