Wintec Wide

[MillionDollar]

Does anyone have one? Or ridden in one? Thoughts please!

Thanks x

I have one for my hippo/pony. I really like it, it's comfy, it fits him and I feel really secure in it - it has quite a deep seat.

Just what I want

Is the pommel reasonably high, as my cob does have a wither unlike some cobs?

Here's a piccie for you (please try to ignore the hideously fat pony): http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t318/bexboo1984/?action=view&current=100_0476.jpg

I have just got one for my lad as he was to wide for the 'normal' wintec xwide gullet.It is very comfy and dosent slip around.And also it has very good weight bearing panels.
Mine is actually fairly straight cut is this the norm or are there differant cuts i.e vsd or gp?.

 

[bex1984]

Mine is quite straight cut too, I think there's only one type.

Thanks for that! Yeh they are quite straight cut, but I don't jump my cob so it will be ideal, plus it have quite a deep seat which is a plus as I need holding a bit on her....shes got such a big stride!

i haven't got one yet, but I'm getting mine brand new from here I think http://www.uksaddlery.com/item5.htm It's the cheapest I've found at £299.

If not then try ebay, theres some decent 2nd hand ones on there but they don't have brown, which is what I want.

I think it's quite cut for big shoulders? I was lucky, mine fitted into the Extra wide wintec. He's now into a wide gullet

 

[MillionDollar]

Yeh that will be quite good for Flo...HUGE shoulders

I know, I have a Bates Caprilli GP which fitted her perfectly last year. She started in Medium Wide (she had no muscle/topline at all a year ago), then to a Wide and now an Extra Wide. She now has so much muscle and shes very fit that its too narrow

and pushes the saddle back.

I'm gutted now.I've had mine a few weeks and i paid £395 for mine from my saddler,missed out on a bargain which is unlike me! I'm pleased with mine,my mare is very barelly and hasn't much wither at the mo as she has so much growing to do.I'm pleased with mine,it's comfy and has enough knee roll to do small fences on,when shes up to a decent height of fence and has filled out more i'll change it but for now it'll do her as she will be outgrowing it soon
