WintecLite All Purpose
Half the weight and double the fun. WintecLite saddles are less than half the weight of a traditional leather saddle, and that one fact changes more about your riding day than any feature list can.
An ultra-light synthetic all purpose saddle. Trails, schooling, whatever you fancy.
Life is too short for heavy tack. You can take to the trails with ease in this durable and versatile saddle, a saddle so light that tacking up is simply a breeze.
Allow your personality to shine through while training or on the trails by using a reflective or blank cantle to suit your mood.
Your leg will easily find a natural groove and your contact and communication will become effortless.
For your horse, they will enjoy the super-soft panels which form in and around their muscles, hugging their unique conformation whether training or competing in any discipline.
This saddle features all the benefits of Horse and Rider Technology, which we call HART. Your saddle can be fitted to suit your horse's conformation with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System.

Approximate weight: 8.6 lb / 3.9 kg. Weights vary a little by size and options.
What is in the box?
Your saddle, fitted as standard with a medium (black) gullet. Stirrup straps and a girth are sold separately.
Riders often add an EASY-CHANGE gullet pack so they have every width to hand, an EASY-CHANGE riser pack for adjusting panel depth, a pair of stirrup straps and a girth.
Fit is about comfort, balance and performance rather than any single number, so we would always start with a saddle fitter you trust. If you are close to buying and want the detail, a measurement diagram is the last image in the gallery above. The measurements provided are intended as a guide only. Due to the organic shape of equestrian products and the inherent subjectivity of the measuring process, slight variations may occur. We have made every effort to ensure accuracy, rounding measurements to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches. Please consider these figures as close approximations rather than exact values.
Goes well with
- Every gullet you need: EASY-CHANGE Gullet System: Complete Kit
- Adjust panel depth: EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Standard Pack
- Girth: Wintec Elastic Girth (short)
- Stirrup straps: Wintec Pro Stirrup Straps
- Different leg support: Wintec Flexiblocs
- Make it yours: Wintec Changeable Keeper
- Make it yours: WintecLite All Purpose Cantles
- Keep it clean: Wintec Saddle Cleaner
Your saddle already comes with Flexiblocs fitted. The pairs above are only if you want a different size or amount of support than the ones it arrives with, so there is no need to add a set unless you are after a change.
Suggestions only. Girth length and gullet size depend on your horse, so please check with your saddle fitter or stockist before ordering.

Size guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the WintecLite All Purpose for each seat size. Use it to compare with the saddle you ride in now.
For you
- Seat size depends on your build, the length of your thigh and the riding you do, so compare with a saddle you already find comfortable.
- If you are between sizes, try both if you can, or ask your saddle fitter or retailer.
For your horse
- Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
- The width can be changed with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, so you or your saddle fitter can adjust it as your horse changes shape.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.

How is it different from the WintecLite All Purpose D'Lux?
The WintecLite All Purpose is made in durable, quick-drying Equi-Fabric. The D'Lux is made in soft, grippy Equi-Suede.How do I change the cantle?
Gently lift the old cantle away from the edge, centre the new one using the line on its back, then press down and smooth it from the centre out to the edges. WintecLite All Purpose Cantles let you change the look.What length girth does it take?
It has long girth points, so it takes a short girth such as the Wintec Elastic Girth (short). -

We take care with our photos, but the saddles and gear in our lifestyle shots won't always be the exact product on this page. Some are there to show off a feature, like being weatherproof or easy to clean.
The product photos and description are the best guide to what you're buying. If you're not sure, just get in touch and we'll check for you.

WintecLite All Purpose
Light does not mean flimsy. Your leg drops into a natural groove, contact gets quieter, and the seat grips exactly where you need it to. Just as at home on a trail as in a lesson.
The cantle comes off, so you can run a reflective one for early starts and dark evenings, or a blank one personalised with your horse's name.
For your horse, super-soft panels mould in and around their muscles, hugging their unique conformation whether training or competing in any discipline.
What HART gives you
- Elastiflex tree: flexes and moves with your horse's stride, so their back can swing and move naturally.
- EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution: you or your saddle fitter can change the width of the Elastiflex tree with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, and change the depth of the panel to alter the balance with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System.
- CAIR Cushion System: air cushions stay in contact with your horse's moving back muscles, for even, lower pressure and shock absorption.
