The Wintec Pro HART Stock Saddle may be suitable for:

• Australian stock and ranch riding
• Scenic and extended trail rides
• Campdrafting practice
• Fast-paced recreational riding
• Starting and schooling young horses
• Everyday outdoor riding
• Riders seeking a low-maintenance alternative to a traditional leather stock saddle

Its suitability for a particular competition or discipline depends on the event rules, rider experience, and saddle fit.

Fit and Safety Guide

Correct saddle fit is essential for horse comfort and rider balance. Use the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System only with compatible components and follow the manufacturer’s fitting instructions.

The supplied medium gullet may not suit every horse. A qualified saddle fitter should assess the saddle’s balance, wither clearance, shoulder movement, and pressure distribution. Check that the panels sit evenly and that the saddle remains stable during movement.

Before riding, inspect the girth, stirrup straps, stirrup bar, stitching, and other attachment points. Purchase a compatible girth and stirrup straps if they are not included in the package.

Care and Maintenance

• Brush away dust, hair, and loose dirt after each ride.
• Wipe the synthetic surfaces with water and a suitable mild cleaner.
• Hose the saddle lightly when needed, following Wintec’s care recommendations.
• Allow the saddle to dry naturally before storing it.
• Avoid harsh solvents, abrasive brushes, and excessive heat.
• Inspect the girth attachments, stirrup straps, and panels regularly.
• Store in a clean, dry, ventilated location.
