I have a Wintec wide saddle in an xxw (the narrowest it comes) fit my pony a treat 6 weeks ago, but lots of hacking and a diet mean a slimmer pony, but a too wide saddle. So I get my gauge out and he now measures an xw. Perfect. I bought the wide saddle version as it says you can fit an x wide gullet into it, where as the regula saddle you cant put an xx wide. I Buy a gullet, gullet arrives. OH takes saddle apart, finds a tag stating only use the 3 purple wide gullets, white (xw) or red (wide) Lovely, just what Wintec told me, but didnt realise you could use a wide? Anyhow the white x wide doesnt actually fit! The holes dont line up with the screws. So half an hour of faffing about with 2 of us, it still didnt fit. OH then got cable ties to tighted the gullet against the plate and put all his weight on the plastic to line up the screw, where I quickly screwed it in! There is no way on this earth you would get a red gullet in that saddle! But easy change? Two grown ups, some cable ties and a ton of body weight!
Anyway, its done now after a lot a blue language, huffing and puffing. OH said pony must not change shape again!
Anyone else had this problem with the white gullet in the wide saddle?
