Secure and balanced in the dressage saddle: Wintec HART 500 with CAIR air cushion
The Wintec HART 500 dressage saddle accompanies you from your first steps in dressage right through to advanced work. The extremely soft seat and the improved grip of the Equi-Leather help you stay balanced, even in long training sessions. After a dusty day in the arena, you simply hose the saddle down with water.
At its heart is HART technology (Horse And Rider Technology): the CAIR air cushion system replaces traditional flocking with air, spreads your weight evenly and helps prevent pressure points. The Elastiflex tree can be adapted to your horse with the EASY-CHANGE gullet system. The saddle comes fitted with a black gullet plate, gullet width 30 (medium), suitable for average backs. Use the WINTEC gullet guide to find the right gullet plate and swap it whenever needed.
