Has anyone got one of these saddles or ridden on one? Thoughts please?

I have a Wintec dressage, so I know what the synthetic leather is like, and I like it. Just wanted thoughts on the style of the saddle and its seat

Thanks x
 
Its not bad

However I hated the synthetic (it didn't wear well either) and got a second hand Bates instead. I'd recommend this to anyone as Bates really hold their value compared to other saddles.
 
i ucurrently have a Wintec dressage, which is lovely, but I used to have a wintec CC, and TBH I hated it.

However I did have a round welsh sec D at the time and it didnt fit her shape, it would probably be great on something fier.

A lady at my yard is actually seling her wintec CC, she has only used it twice...thats how many times she has jumped i think!
 
I have one, really really rate it. It has a super flat seat (as in cantle doesnt exist LOL) but I much prefer that to jump with. The knee and thigh blocks obviously you can move about to better wedge yourself in with and its light. Mine has cair and I bought it for a 16hh hunter type. Really opened up his shoulder in it and felt so much better. He is naturally level on his back though and I ofetn find that wintecs bounce slightly if the horse isnt the right wintec "shape".

It doesnt fit so well on my 16.3 TB x WB , but he has a very sparse frame that doesnt suit the saddle as well.

Still wore it for dressage!
At the mo am using it (17.5) on a 15hh ish PBA, it suits her due to the width over the panels and the cair, but doesnt suit me on her as it props me in wrong position.
Sorry about essay! I got bored sorting out my CV!
