Where to exchange a wintec?

[TiaPony]

Got a wintec gp and was wanting to exchange it for one of their dressage saddles - second hand would be fine! Does anyone know where I can do this in Surrey or even if it can be done? Oh and recommendations/experiences of the wintec dressage saddle range please

Thanks

I had the Wintec pro dressage, liked the saddle but found it to be a bit narrow behind for my horses. Recently tried the Wintec Isabell, lovely saddle, much better at the back with flatter pads and looked like it would suit most horses. Unfortunately I have a twisted pelvis and a badly repaired broken hip so the riding position was just too extreme for me - gutted as it was my dream saddle for a long time

Try buttons, they have LOADS of saddles or sell this saddle and buy another on Ebay

Yeh we got the wintec from buttons - would they exchange do you think?

Thankyou

Of course they would, but you will probably will get more for it on ebay!!! I brought a nearly new Bates Isobella off ebay for £500 last year, the girth straps weren't even marked it was that new, got Adrian to come and check the fit for me, but fortunately it had the right gullet too.

OK sell the gp on ebay?!?! It's only downside is that it has no knee blocks cause dipstick 'ere lost them in the tweseldown water at camp. Would that affect it's sale price? It's a wintec 500

A bit, but you can buy replacements for about £10 I think. Maybe see what Adrian will give you in PX against a Dressage one (agree with The_Winter, that the Isobellas are much better than the Pro). Watch a few Wintec GPs on ebay and see what they are going for at the moment and maybe try a quick Ad in Rokers 1st.

Thankyou PE (getting ready for easter already eh

Definately, why does chocolate taste better when it has been shaped into an egg????

I have a wintec dressage pro that is homeless.....

 

[TiaPony]

MH what is it like to ride in?

 

[madhector]

Not bad, it is the equisuede so kind of locks you in place, itsnt as deep as the isabell, and looks brand new

 

[TiaPony]

Hmm.. will have a think and PM you?

 

[madhector]

No problem just let me know by next friday as saddler is coming, she will take it in exchange if not

 

[TiaPony]

Ok will do

Thankyou!

I have just sold my three year old wintec VSD on ebay with no knee blocks and a slightly split girth strap (told people about this in the blurb) - with postage the person paid about half the price of a new one. The knee blocks are no problem - you can buy new ones off equestrian clearance

Is there any websites where you can advertise swaps? I thought there was but cannot remember what its called or if it still exsists!

I want to swap my Kings GP saddle for a SJ / Event saddle. I don't want to try and sell the saddle first as that'd leave me without one for a time before I could get another!
