Wintec Saddles

Heavenly Jumper · 02-24-2008, 07:36 AM

I love mine, I have two different ones for sale if you are interested in buying one. I have a CC model and a 2000 AP model. They are only for sale since they don't fit me

I love the wintecs so much, that when they are sold...I am buying another one!

I have been really happy with my Wintec Pro Dressage. I just wanted to throw out a caution, since you have an Arab. I have the extra wide gullet in mine, and it fits the 3/4 Belgian draft mare I'm riding, but perches up above my little Arab mare's back, because she has a back that is very wide and flat, despite her small size. So if you decide to get one (or any other saddle), make sure you can try it on her before buying to make sure it will fit correctly. If I were to buy my mare an English saddle, I would probably go with Lovatt & Rickett's, which builds saddles with a hoop tree.

I've got 2 wintecs for sale right now. A 500 ap and a 2000. There are several other members with some for sale as well.

They are very well made saddles, mine just don't fit me right.

Well shoot I was all set to tell you about the western Wintec

I personally like them. Not too heavy, don't require much care, good for just messing around or serious work.

They are great inexpensive saddles so long as they fit you and the horse. The 500 dressage model has almost no resale value, however, even though it's the same tree as the Pro. Not sure about the CCs and APs. Search closed ebay auctions and see how high or low the model you want sells for. Try to get a used one if you can find one.

What don't you like about the Wintec Westerns? I had 1 for 9 years before I sold it. People who bought it thought it was new. I sold it because I needed full QH bars. Now I have the full QH bar Wintec Western. I love them.
