Wintec 500 Dressage
A synthetic dressage saddle for riders getting serious about flatwork.
A comfortable and practical saddle for you to commence your dressage journey. Feel secure in your position with a supportive seat, and the added comfort and grip of the most supple and durable leather-look, easy-care saddle yet.
Be bold and make your Wintec saddle your own with a stirrup keeper in a bold shade. After a big day of dressage training, simply hose off your easy-care Wintec saddle.
For your horse, they will enjoy the super-soft panels which form in and around their muscles, hugging their conformation and freeing them to move.
HART or flock: which should I choose?
The HART version is the full package. Horse and Rider Technology means all five of our technologies together, including the CAIR Cushion System, an air-filled panel that spreads rider weight evenly and absorbs impact.
The flock version uses traditional wool flocking, which a saddler can reflock, and the depth can also be adjusted with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System.
CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves. Panel depth is changed with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System, which sits in its own separate pocket. The cushions are sealed behind security tape, and opening that tape voids the warranty.
Both come with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System. Your saddle fitter can advise which suits your horse.
Supportive seat | Changeable stirrup keeper | Super-soft panels | EASY-CHANGE Gullet System
Approximate weight: 11.4 lb / 5.2 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 Anatomic Girth
- Webbers: Wintec 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.
