Key Features

Traditional Stock-Saddle Design

The stock-saddle profile is designed for riders who prefer a traditional style for outdoor riding and general stock work.

Horse and Rider Technology (HART)

Wintec’s HART system combines fitting, cushioning, tree, panel, and seat technologies to support rider comfort and horse movement.

CAIR Cushion System

The air-based cushioning system is designed to help distribute the rider’s weight across the saddle panels and absorb impact.

EASY-CHANGE Gullet System

The interchangeable gullet system provides options for adjusting saddle width to suit the horse’s conformation, subject to professional fitting.

Elastiflex Tree

The tree is designed to combine support with flexibility as the horse moves.

Performance Panel Technology

The panel design aims to accommodate the horse’s working muscles and support freedom of movement when the saddle fits correctly.

Comfort Seat Technology

The seat is designed to support rider comfort during regular riding.

Durable Synthetic Construction

The leather-look material provides a practical alternative to traditional leather and is easy to clean after outdoor use.

Versatile Everyday Use

Suitable for general stock riding, trail riding, and outdoor schooling, depending on the rider’s needs and the saddle’s fit.

Fit and Compatibility

The Wintec 500 Stock HART should be selected according to both rider requirements and the horse’s conformation. Confirm the exact seat size and fitting components for the specific saddle being sold, as options may vary by market and production version.

The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System provides width-adjustment options, but changing the gullet alone does not guarantee correct saddle fit. A qualified saddle fitter should assess wither clearance, panel contact, saddle balance, and freedom of movement before use.

Check the saddle’s condition, serial or model identification, and included accessories before purchasing, particularly when buying a second-hand model.
