Wintec Pro Stock with Short Swinging Fender HART Saddle
Product Overview
The Wintec Pro Stock with Short Swinging Fender HART Saddle is a durable, weatherproof synthetic stock saddle designed for trail riding, long-distance journeys, high-speed riding activities, and starting young horses. Combining traditional stock-saddle styling with modern Horse and Rider Technology (HART), it offers a deep, grippy seat designed to help riders maintain a secure and balanced position over varied terrain.
The distinctive swinging fender moves with the rider’s leg, reducing the bulk associated with traditional stirrup leathers. Its short-fender configuration is particularly useful for riders whose leg length suits the shorter adjustment range. The saddle also features super-soft panels designed to conform around the horse’s muscles, an integrated poley knee pad, and the EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution for adjustable gullet width.
Practical, lightweight in maintenance, and easy to clean, the Wintec Pro Stock is an excellent option for riders seeking a reliable saddle for everyday riding, extended outdoor adventures, and working with young horses.

Why Choose the Wintec Pro Stock with Short Swinging Fender?
The Wintec Pro Stock with Short Swinging Fender combines the traditional support of a stock saddle with modern materials and an adjustable fitting system. Its deep seat and fixed poley knee pad help riders feel supported, while the swinging fender provides an alternative leg setup that may be more comfortable during long hours in the saddle.
The weatherproof synthetic construction is especially convenient for riders who spend considerable time outdoors or need equipment that can be cleaned quickly after muddy or dusty rides. The super-soft panels and interchangeable gullet system also provide useful fitting options, subject to professional assessment.
Whether you enjoy trail riding, long-distance adventures, recreational stock riding, or training young horses, this saddle offers a practical blend of comfort, durability, and low-maintenance design.
Care and Maintenance
- Remove dirt and sweat after each ride using water and a soft sponge or cloth.
- Follow Wintec’s care instructions for cleaning the synthetic saddle materials.
- Allow the saddle to dry appropriately before storing it in a ventilated area.
- Inspect the fenders, stitching, stirrup attachments, billets, and girth straps regularly for wear.
- Check the oxbow stirrup irons and other metal fittings for damage or looseness.
- Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when changing gullet plates or adjusting the fitting system.
- Store the saddle on a suitable rack, away from excessive heat and conditions that may damage its structure.
Saddle-Fitting Advice
Before purchasing, have a qualified saddle fitter assess the horse’s back shape, tree width, wither and spinal clearance, panel contact, and saddle balance. The short swinging fender should also be checked against the rider’s leg length and preferred stirrup position.
The EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution allows gullet-width adjustments, but changing the gullet alone does not guarantee a correct fit. Proper fitting should account for the horse’s overall conformation and the way the saddle sits and moves under a rider.
