Size guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the Wintec 500 Pony Dressage in Black 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.
-
Will it suit my child as they progress?
The Flexibloc system can be adjusted as your child develops, giving thigh support through each stage of their dressage riding.Does it need much looking after?
No. It hoses off and needs no oiling or waxing, so a muddy lesson or a sudden shower is not a problem. -
Pony saddles take the EASY-CHANGE Riser System: Pony/Jump Pack if the panel depth needs adjusting. Girth length depends on your pony, so check with your saddle fitter or stockist before you choose.
-
- Hose or wipe off sweat and dirt after riding.
- Your Wintec saddle is easy-care, so it needs no oiling or waxing.
- For a deeper clean, use Wintec Saddle Cleaner.
- The CAIR cushions are never adjusted themselves, and opening the CAIR security tape voids the warranty.

We take care with our photos, but the saddles and gear in our lifestyle shots won't always be the exact product on this page. Some are there to show off a feature, like being weatherproof or easy to clean.
The product photos and description are the best guide to what you're buying. If you're not sure, just get in touch and we'll check for you.
