Wintec Isabell Icon
Developed in collaboration with Isabell Werth, the most decorated equestrian of all time, and designed for the dressage rider with serious aspirations. Wintec saddles have been part of her story from the beginning.
Sink into the ultra-narrow, low waist and unbelievably close contact seat, and feel how effortlessly you stay centred and balanced, free to focus on your aids. Move the adjustable ergonomic stirrup bar to suit your own alignment, and locate each Flexibloc to create a groove for your leg that supports without blocking.
The movable overgirth wraps the saddle flap around your horse, so you get an unrestricted feel with no interfering flap movement. That stillness through your lower leg and upper body is what makes the most demanding movements look effortless. The Adjustable Y-Girthing System maximises stability for each individual horse.
Equi-Suede is soft with just enough stretch to move with you, comfortable from the very first ride, with the perfect level of grip even when it is wet. An Equi-Leather wear patch protects the saddle from your boots so it stays in top condition.
This saddle features all the benefits of Horse and Rider Technology, which we call HART, protecting your horse's back as they develop through the levels.

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 Anatomic Girth
- Webbers: Wintec Pro Webbers
- Different leg support: Wintec Flexiblocs
- Make it yours: Wintec Changeable Keeper
- 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 Wintec Isabell Icon 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.
