Wintec wide saddles
This message is from: Rose or Murph roseormu...@ywave.com I am wondering if anyone is using the wintec wide saddles on their fjords? My mare is almost out of the white gullet on the regular tree. I was told at the tack store the channel (along the spine) on the wintec wides are too wide for a lot of drafts as they had the saddle returned and don't carry it anymore. Would like to hear from anyone who is using a wintec wide. Rosemary in sunny wa.

This message is from: kngould kngo...@earthlink.net I use a Wintec wide on my Fjord; at a Fjord and Friends Fun Fest one year the saddle fitter there gave it an 88%; Asti seems to like it and it still seems to fit well. Funny, it's the same exact saddle I use on my Friesian, same size and everything as Asti inherited it from my other Friesian when I sold him!

Re: Wintec wide saddles
This message is from: Karen Keith kkke...@hotmail.com I recently bought a Wintec Wide for my younger Fjord mare. I started her in a Wintec Isabel saddle with the widest gullet that I use on my other Fjord mare, but it never was a good fit and then as she started developing muscles and a top line, it no longer fit at all and was rolling on her. I bought the Wide at a Memorial Day sale and used it a few times and then took it to Fjord Fest in NC where I put 30 trail miles on and probably 9 hrs of lessons. The horse seems very comfortable in it, and the big surprise for me is that it's narrower in the twist than my old Wintec Isabel, so much more comfortable for me. My two mares are very different types. The one who wears the old Wintec Isabel is a big 14.2 hh 1200 lb chunk, and the one who wears the Wide is a 13.2 hh 900 lb sporty type. Go figure. Bottom line: I am very happy with my Wintec Wide, and more important, my horse is, too.
