RE: [RC] [Guest] Wintec's & white spots (was American-Flex saddles) - Linda Cowles

... my  beat-up 10-year-old Wintec Pro Endurance and he was fine.  The
reason I bought the new saddle was that he had started getting white patches
on his withers just in the last year or so.  Could the Wintec just be worn
out?

These white patches occur with the older style Wintecs and perhaps with the
new as well.... my experience is older Wintec's. When you palpate the bottom
of the saddle, you can feel the stirrup-hangers. I suspect that not standing
at the trot and posting off of your upper leg vs. off the stirrup might
help.  I don't know if the newer Wintec's are made differently. The stirrup
bars on the older ones I get in my shop are much more noticeable than on the
newer styles, but that could be because of use or the breakdown of the
padding materials.
