Wintec Cob thingy I think I had- it was ok, rolled a bit, but best advice is to get a nice one made to measure, I had an Amerigo, loved it

i have a wintec wide its a good saddle but not quite right for my pony. i am looking into Ideal saddle and saddle Co saddles

Get a close contact, the half under really helps the fit.

Ideal are very good. As are the native pony saddle company.

griffin are fab. Personally prefer them to Wintec as they're more comfy and the wintec doesnt seem to come up as wide.
I have a griffin pony club and it seems to fit anything round or table top backed.

Saddle Company. Best I've every had for round cobby types.

Have been using a wintec wide but it's started to move about - just ordered a Saddle Company Saddle

My daughter has a 13.1hh highland/connie type. No withers, huge shoulders. Her old saddle would go forwards and sideways even though it was extra wide . I bought her a saddle company saddle and had it fitted and it doesn't move an millimetre. I've been really pleased with it plus its very comfy to ride in too.

Torsion Treeless
And
If present saddle is slipping try a Wintec/Thorowgood shaped girth
Good Luck

Wintec

Thorowgood cob tree is good and cheap or Ideal H & C tree I think it's called is good (think it stands for highland and cob).

Have a look at the Ideal VSD on the Europa tree. I have one for my roly poly NF who's old saddle used to slip side-ways something rotten. I've found a non-elastic girth helps alot too.

I found synthethic saddles are too light even if they fit perfectly, but if it's a synthetic you are wanting try the Thorogood Jill Thomas Endurance saddle.
