Thinking of buying one second hand it's a flocked saddle not one with cair......thanks
 
i like wintecs but prefer the 2000 to the 500 (more comfy, and better quality feeling).

i prefer flocked to cair. cair seems too hard...

be aware that they don't fit all horses, even if they are adjustable.

p.s. i *might* be selling my beloved wintec 2000 (16.5", with selection of gullets if i can dig them out) as it doesn't fit my horse. how much were you planning on spending?
 
I agree, just because you can change the gullet doesnt mean it will fit. Also when buying second hand saddles you must check the flocking very carefully. The majority of horses are asymetrical, so the flocking will mould accordingly. Your horse is likely to be totally different, so the saddle may need to be totally re-flocked. You also have to be careful that the flock isnt compressed or lumpy.

Personally i hate wintecs, ive never seen one that fits.
