A synthetic stock saddle with a fender, for the long days.
Ready for all-day saddle comfort? Whether enjoying a scenic ride or starting young horses, the Wintec 500 HB provides you with the support and stability you need to get the job done. Experience greater tactile feel, grip and comfort in this easy-care, leather-look saddle.
Fitted with a fender instead of traditional stirrup leathers, which can make all-day riding more comfortable. Do not sweat about getting caught in the rain, as this weatherproof saddle ensures you can continue onwards no matter the weather.
For your horse, they will enjoy the super-soft panels which form in and around their muscles, hugging their conformation, so you can ride all day with the peace of mind that they are comfortable too.
Your saddle can be fitted to suit your horse's conformation with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System.
This saddle features all the benefits of Horse and Rider Technology, which we call HART.
Swinging fender or standard: which should I choose?
The swinging fender model has a fender that moves with your leg. The standard model has a fixed fender. Both adjust within a range of centimetres, so check the measurement chart in the gallery above against the leg you ride with. Neither affects the fit of the saddle.
Approximate weight: 22.7 lb / 10.3 kg. Weights vary a little by size and options.
Short fender or standard fender?
Both use a fender rather than stirrup leathers, and both adjust within a range of centimetres. The difference is leg length rather than preference, so check the measurement chart in the gallery above against the leg you ride with. It does not affect how the saddle fits your horse.
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.

Suggestions only. Girth length and gullet size depend on your horse, so please check with your saddle fitter or stockist before ordering.
