Size guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Wintec 500 Pony All Purpose for each seat size. Use it to compare with the saddle you ride in now.
For you
- Seat size depends on your build, the length of your thigh and the riding you do, so compare with a saddle you already find comfortable.
- If you are between sizes, try both if you can, or ask your saddle fitter or retailer.
For your horse
- Fit is about comfort, balance and how your horse moves, not one number on a chart, so we would always start with a qualified saddle fitter you trust.
- The width can be changed with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, so you or your saddle fitter can adjust it as your horse changes shape.
Measurements are a guide only. They are rounded to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converted to inches, and the organic shape of saddlery means small differences between pieces are normal.
-
Which riser pack does it take?
Pony saddles take the EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Pony/Jump Pack. The Standard Pack is not suitable for pony saddles.What length girth does it take?
It has short girth points, so it takes a long girth such as the Wintec Elastic Girth (long).What comes with the saddle?
It comes fitted with a medium (black) gullet and Flexiblocs. Stirrup straps and a girth are not included. -
