[RC] wintec saddle - Alice Yovich


what type of correction did you have to make? I'm still trying to solve some problems with my saddle. It's mostly OK, but I have white hairs (probably from last fall's western saddle) and I'm trying to make sure I'm doing right by my mare. I'm going to get an impression pad under it on thurs. with a friend so that will be nice to see.

I use a Wintec 500 dressage saddle.  While I like the grippy
material of the 2000, the 500's finish is more "traditional."  That
means I could theoretically use this saddle to show in, if I had
that desire (and I do have horses that could go out and show in
dressage if I wanted to -- I'm just too lazy).  The finish on the
500 is also better for getting all wet out on the trail. :-)

As for the gullet system, it is easy to use, as advertized.  My
critters pretty much all take the x-wide.  On one in particular
I was still seeing a dry patch behind her shoulders and after
each 50 a few more white hairs would appear; so although she
never acted ouchy there was certainly a problem.  I just bought a
CorrecTOR pad, and the sweat pattern is now perfectly even on all
my horses.  On the 15th we'll have our first 50 with that pad, so
that'll be the test.
