More shoulder freedom for broad horses: Wintec Pro Wide Dressage Saddle
The Wintec Pro wide dressage saddle is built for powerful horses with a broad back. You sit deep and soft in this Wintec saddle, the grippy Equi-Suede on the seat keeps you secure and the leg channel brings you close to your horse. This lets you give your aids with finesse and precision.
With HART technology, several systems work together: the CAIR air panel system uses air to spread your weight evenly across the horse's back, the Elastiflex tree flexes sideways and the soft panels mould around the muscles. The EASY-CHANGE gullet system lets you adjust the gullet width without a saddler. A lilac 2XW gullet plate with gullet width 36 is fitted as standard, suited to broader backs. Use the WINTEC gullet guide to find the right gullet plate for your horse. Only wide gullet plates (light lilac to purple) may be fitted to this wide saddle.

Questions & answers:
Which gullet plate is fitted to the saddle?
The saddle comes with a lilac 2XW gullet plate, gullet width 36, for broader backs. If it doesn't suit your horse, you can swap it for another wide gullet plate. Only the wide sizes from light lilac to purple are allowed, because a standard gullet plate can distort and weaken the saddle tree.
How do I find the right gullet width for my horse?
Use the WINTEC gullet guide to measure your horse's withers and read off the matching gullet plate. Changing it with the EASY-CHANGE system works without a saddler.
How do I care for my Wintec saddle?
The synthetic saddle is weatherproof and easy to rinse off with water or wipe with a damp cloth. There is no need to grease or oil it.
