WINTECS! Love or Hate?

[hallarider]

I thought my 500 was the bees knees until I sat in my bates momentum. I just hate the 500 now. I suppose its the difference between driving a fiesta and a bmw, you just can't go back!!

I have one and hate it, I cant jump in mine at all, it doesnt help my horse is so big at the front but I never get a good seat with mine, It is really uncomfy, cant wait to get a new saddle in a couple of weeks.

love as hate cleaning tack
Though saying that envarably end up with a leather saddle too

I loved both of mine (dressage 500 and the Wide) but my horse became too wide for the dressage, and the Wide doesn't fit his shape and back, so I now have a fabulous leather Origins Grandee.

Love the 500VSD, hate 500GP with a vengeance!! It's horrid!

BUT definitely not for all horses, people, or situations and if I was made of money... well, it would still have a place in my tackroom actually. But don't like the black...

I have a wide on my highland and it's great!

I love my wintec Isabel Dressage saddle its lovely, just had to get one with Cair as my mare is a bizarre shape and its great as my saddler can put inserts in to lift it up in certain places! my GP is a different story! its extremely restrictive on her shoulders and withers so can nolonger ride in it (what a waste of money!) looking into the thorowgood T4 high wither!
