my boyfriend brought me the new close contact for xmas, and my horse and myself love it!
i have def noticed a difference in the way my horse goes.
i think with wintecs you either love em or hate em, and they dont fit every horse! although mine fits my TB lovely, but i have heard they dont fit TB's that well.
mine has Cair as well, again a lot of different opinions on cair and flocked.
best bet is to get saddler out and try them.
