It’s now easier than ever to achieve an optimal fit for your horse with Wintec. Wintec Saddles featuring World leading performance systems, CAIR® Cushion System and EASY-CHANGE® Gullet

System, offer the ultimate in ease of fitting and performance for your horse. These revolutionary systems work together to provide a custom fit to your horse’s wither, and a fluid cushioning to hug your horse’s individual conformation for even weight distribution over the entire length of the panel.

We recommend you have the fit of your saddle checked after three months and then every six months throughout your saddle’s life, to ensure an optimal fit for your horse’s current muscling.

Fitting made easy!

Disclaimer: The innovative systems in our saddles offer unsurpassed flexibility in achieving an optimal fit, however, no one saddle can claim to fit every horse. It is always recommended you seek ongoing professional advice on saddle fit and in meeting the unique needs of each horse/rider combination.


The CAIR® Cushion System

Finally, a panel system that understands the mechanics of the equine back and the impact saddles have on horse and rider performance.

Fluidly working with your horse’s muscles, the revolutionary CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional fillings in your saddle with air.

Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse’s working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the panel, virtually eliminating pressure points.

This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage and a happier horse. For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR® Cushion System makes to a horse’s comfort and performance is profound.

Additionally, the balance of your Wintec saddle can be easily adjusted through your retailer, or saddler, using the CAIR® Panel Insert System.

The award winning CAIR® Cushion System is exclusive to Bates and Wintec Saddles.

EASY-CHANGE® Gullet KitsAvailable in six individual sizes - or as a complete set of five with an EASY-MEASURE Gullet Gauge.

EASY-CHANGE® Gullet GaugeAn easy to use measuring system to help select the correct size gullet for your horse.

Your horse will change shape as its maturity, type of work and level of fitness changes. The EASY-CHANGE® Gullet System allows you to alter the width of your saddle by utilising one of six fractional fit gullets to custom fit the shape of your horse’s wither. This provides you with the ability to check the correct gullet is fitted for your horse’s current shape and muscling and, if not, be able to change it yourself.

N.B. only gullet plates stamped with genuine EASY-CHANGE® are accredited for use in Wintec Saddles.
