WINTEC: Adjustable saddles and saddle accessories for horse and rider

WINTEC is known for saddles with an interchangeable gullet and the CAIR panel system. With us you will find saddle accessories, spare parts and kit for kids.

WINTEC: Saddles that can be adjusted

WINTEC belongs to the Saddlery Brands International group, with Bates Australia named as its predecessor. In 1998 the brand introduced the Easy-Change gullet system, which lets you adapt the saddle to the horse's withers. Since 2000 there has been the CAIR system: an air-filled saddle panel instead of traditional flocking, designed to spread the rider's weight more evenly. These two systems still define the brand today.

For saddle fitting there is the Easy Change professional gullet set, gullet and panel screws, and the Easy-Change Riser pad starter set. For young riders you will find safety stirrups with a cage, a riding pad with a safety handle and stirrup leathers for children. A saddle cleaner for synthetic saddles keeps your tack clean. That leaves you well equipped for fitting, care and the first riding lessons.

Frequently asked questions

How do I change the gullet on a WINTEC saddle?
With the Easy-Change system, the gullet is released via screws and swapped for a different width. Replacement screws are available individually. If you are unsure which width fits, ask a saddle fitter to assess the withers.

How do I clean a synthetic saddle?
Brush off loose dirt and use a cleaner made for synthetic saddles. You do not need saddle soap or leather oil.

Why use safety stirrups for children?
The cage at the front stops the foot from slipping through the stirrup. In a fall, the child is less likely to get caught.
