Wintec wide and the white gullet

[Slightlyconfused]

Just a quick one.

I have a 5 year old wintec wide up for sale.
Someone is enquiring if you can put the white (xw) gullet in from the normal wintec.

I swear mine has been in it before but I am having a brain blank moment.

Can anyone help?

According to the Wintec site they can only take the wide set.

I have a Wintec wide 500, it has a white gullet in as fitted by saddler, as a temporary measure till pony widened a bit. It hasn't pulled it in at all and slotted in ok. I'm not saying this is correct tho, so purchaser should make their own decision.

I was hoping to upgrade to a decent leather saddle this week, but an accident (non horse) has wiped out funds at present.

Same as Fuzzy Furry, I have successfully had a white gullet in a Wintec wide 500 fitted by a saddler who specialised in Wintecs.

The white gullet can be fitted to a standard Wintec. The pink and purple gullets are the really extra extra wide ones are for the Wintec cob saddle only.

wintec told me they can have the white gullet in, so yes they can unless its changed recently. No narrower than the XW white one though.

Yep, my Wintec Wide was originally fitted with the white gullet.

I think the “Wide” set (for the wide saddles) starts at 1XW which is white and is the same as the white one that is, for some reason, called X wide (rather than 1XW) in the standard set.

Thanks guys

Yep I'm fairly sure (I don't fit them) that the widest in the normal saddle is the same as the narrowest in the Wintec Wide.
