Re: [RC] Wintec Saddles - Mike Lewis

We bought a Wintec 2000 A/P last year.  My opinion is that the saddle is good for all around riding, and is fairly comfortable, but I found that my feet were too far in front of me and that the saddle lacks stability on my horse and stability for the trail.  I'm finding that the "feet too far in front of me" thing is common to most English saddles I've tried, and therefore may be a fault with my own equitation rather than due to the Wintec setup--others may chime in on this and feel differently.
 
The saddle is a beautiful saddle (or, was, until my wife's unbroken horse reared in it and went over backwards--with no rider on), but not my first choice for Endurance.  I'd buy it again for general riding.
 
Lesson learned: tell wife to not break a horse with a nice saddle on its back...

Now that some of you mention the Wintec 500, I´like to read any opinions any of you may have on the All Purpose Wintec 2000
 
 
Happy Holidays
