Wintec 2000 Wide All Purpose
$1,245.00
Rated 5.0 out of 5
A synthetic all purpose saddle built for wide horses.
Designed especially for you and your wide horse to enjoy the ultimate in comfort. The Wintec 2000 Wide All Purpose saddle offers you exceptional comfort and support with a grippy material on the seat and a refined design to provide a close contact feeling, allowing an effortless leg position and perfect balance.
For your wide horse, they will enjoy the super-soft panels which form in and around their muscles, for a closer and more stable fit.
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 WIDE. Please note WIDE saddles take EASY-CHANGE WIDE gullet plates only. Fitting a standard gullet to a WIDE saddle, or a WIDE gullet to a standard saddle, can distort and weaken the Elastiflex tree, and damage caused this way is not covered by our warranty. Please see our warranty page for the full terms.
Wide fit | Super-soft deep seat | Changeable stirrup keeper | Super-soft panels | HART | EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE
Approximate weight: 11.5 lb / 5.2 kg. Weights vary a little by size and options.
What is in the box?
Your saddle, fitted as standard with a 2XW 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 WIDE: 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
- 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 retailer before ordering.

Size guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Wintec 2000 Wide 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.

Which gullets does it take?
It comes with a 2XW gullet and takes WIDE gullets only, from the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE. A standard gullet can damage your saddle, and that damage is not covered by the warranty.Will it feel wide to ride in?
Its refined design gives a close contact feel, so you keep an easy leg position and good balance on a broad horse.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.
