I use a Wintec Pro Dressage with the Cair Panels and the wintec girth. It has fit all of my fjords. I have noticed (and been told by judges when I was a scribe) that many Wintecs squeak horribly and that it is a distraction from the test. The Wintecs with the Cair panels do not squeak. The Wintec pro dressage is also a very comfy saddle for me and is great for shorter trail rides. Its also easy to clean, just hose it off, and has adjustable leg and thigh rolls and you can get larger sizes on those if you want them. The saddles tree width is also adjustable by using a different insert. And they are available at a reasonable price on EBay as a "Buy it Now" item. You don't often find them used so if you find one, grab it. They go fast.

This message is from: Silja Knoll <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi Group, I am starting to get frustrated about finding a saddle that will work for my 5 year old Fjord and me. Although I like to do everything from dressage to low jumps, to riding in the mountains, I am leaning towards a dressage or an endurance saddle. I have ordered a treeless from England (that felt like trying to sit on a cube) so that one is on its way back, I am eyeing the Wintec extra wide saddles (dressage or endurance), I have tried a couple of different Duett saddles and they slid all over her back.... I would love to know what the rest of you are riding your Fjords in. I was told that (at least in a Duett) we need a 38 cm, 17 inch seat..... I am not completely opposed to a western style, aussie, other endurance types, I just need something that fits us both. Thanks for any feedback, oh, and if you reply, please let me know the brand, style as well as any saddle measurements. Thanks. Silja --------------------------------- Don't be flakey. Get Yahoo!
