How do I know which Wintec gullet size I need for my horse?
You can use the Wintec Gullet Gauge to help find the right size. Medium (black) is usually standard, but High Wither models may ship with a more narrow gullet, and Wide models have their own range. Fit should be checked under rider load and with girth tight.
Where is the serial number, and what can it tell me?
The serial number may be on a sewn-in tag or stamped under the flap, depending on the model/year. For newer saddles, this number can give you info on age, seat size, and technology/features included.
Are Wintec saddles good quality and value compared to traditional leather saddles?
Many riders praise Wintec for durability, adjustability, comfort, and lower maintenance. The synthetic materials do make them easier to keep clean and are more weather resistant than leather.
How do I clean and care for my Wintec saddle?
Wintec saddles are made from synthetic materials and are designed to be low-maintenance. Clean with mild detergent or Wintec cleaner, wipe with a damp cloth, and avoid direct sunlight when drying. Leather parts like girth points or wear patches should be treated with leather soap/cream
