English Wintecs?

Miss Thunder · 08-24-2004, 08:24 AM

Anyone have one? Like it/hate it? Any other info would be great. It looks like one of these:

and the guy wants $200 for it and the package. I was thinking of getting it, even if it isn't for me, but maybe to resell? It's new. Good idea?

I personally dont like wintec saddles, I like the good old leather myself...but thats totally a personal preference.

i have one like it, but an older model, i love it.

I sell them, but from what my suppliers have said, they don't last like what western wintecs do. Most english riders either don't like their comfort or their sizing or just the fact they are synthetic and not leather.

Why they don't last as long as a western wintec>???? Beats me. But I"ve had no one really look twice at them at all. They want leather.

i dont own my own horse but i used to ride a horse at my barn with a wintec saddle and i loved it! it was great!

i will agree, they aren't built to last, mine has fallen apart and looks terrible, but i still love it, it is like a broken in pair of shoes, you just can't part w/ it!

I used to have one and I loved it. I thought it was reeeeally comfortable, but yeah, they dont last long. That's why I dont have it anymore! lol

My friend has one and she loves it! I have ridden in it and it is very comfy, it seems to fit alot of different horses too, hers is the older version, it has a smooth seat and suede like knee rolls.

I liked the Western wintec I rode in but I have never liked any of the english ones I've tried

Miss Thunder · 08-24-2004, 08:48 AM

I've heard they are comfy. It looked comfy. Looked REALLY nice. So I'm undecided. For only $200, it's hard to say no. But we'll see. I'm getting another Wintec western tomorrow (I LOVE the westers!) and we'll see what the next pay check brings, haha.
