Combining a supportive seat with innovative fitting technology, it offers a practical solution for riders who want comfort, durability, and easy maintenance.

Product Specifications

Specifications and available options can vary by market and saddle version. Confirm the exact size, color, condition, and included accessories with the seller before purchasing.

Fit and Care Recommendations

Correct saddle fit is essential for horse comfort, movement, and rider balance. Have a qualified saddle fitter assess the horse’s back shape, shoulder clearance, wither clearance, panel contact, and saddle balance before use.

The EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution provides adjustment options, but changing the gullet plate alone does not guarantee a correct overall fit. Panel depth should be adjusted with compatible riser components when appropriate, ideally under the guidance of a saddle fitter.

For routine care, remove dirt and sweat after riding and clean the synthetic surface according to Wintec’s recommendations. Do not open the sealed CAIR cushions, as this can compromise the system and may void the warranty. Store the saddle in a dry, well-ventilated location.
