Light, and double the fun. WintecLite saddles are so light that tacking up is a breeze, and that one fact changes more about your riding day than any feature list can.
Life is too short for heavy tack. If you have ever wrestled a leather saddle onto a 16.2 hand horse at six in the morning, this will feel like cheating. Tacking up stops being the hard part of the ride.
HART: Horse and Rider Technology
When your horse’s comfort comes first, Horse and Rider Technology is essential for enjoying your time in the saddle, free from worry, and to the fullest.
Size guide
The chart shows the main measurements of the WintecLite 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.

How is it different from the WintecLite All Purpose D'Lux?
The WintecLite All Purpose is made in durable, quick-drying Equi-Fabric. The D'Lux is made in soft, grippy Equi-Suede.How do I change the cantle?
Gently lift the old cantle away from the edge, centre the new one using the line on its back, then press down and smooth it from the centre out to the edges. WintecLite All Purpose Cantles let you change the look.What length girth does it take?
It has long girth points, so it takes a short girth such as the Wintec Elastic Girth (short). -
Approximate weight: 3.9 kg/8.6 lb. Weights vary a little by size and options. Your saddle, fitted as standard with a medium (black) gullet. Stirrup straps and a girth are not included. Riders often add an EASY-CHANGE gullet pack so they have every width to hand, an EASY-CHANGE riser pack for adjusting panel depth, a pair of stirrup straps and a girth. Fit is about comfort, balance and performance rather than any single number, so we would always start with a saddle fitter you trust. For the detail, see the size guide. The measurements provided are intended as a guide only. Due to the organic shape of equestrian products and the inherent subjectivity of the measuring process, slight variations may occur. We have made every effort to ensure accuracy, rounding measurements to the nearest 0.5 cm and then converting them to inches. Please consider these figures as close approximations rather than exact values.

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.

WintecLite All Purpose
Light does not mean flimsy. Your leg drops into a natural groove, contact gets quieter, and the seat grips exactly where you need it to. Just as at home on a trail as in a lesson.
The cantle comes off, so you can run a reflective one for early starts and dark evenings, or a blank one personalised with your horse's name.
For your horse, super-soft panels mould in and around their muscles, hugging their unique conformation whether training or competing in any discipline.
What HART gives you
- Elastiflex tree: flexes and moves with your horse's stride, so their back can swing and move naturally.
- EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution: you or your saddle fitter can change the width of the Elastiflex tree with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System, and change the depth of the panel to alter the balance with the EASY-CHANGE Riser System.
- CAIR Cushion System: air cushions stay in contact with your horse's moving back muscles, for even, lower pressure and shock absorption.
