Who is the Wintec 500 jump right for?

Wintec 500 jump saddles are the perfect starter saddle for first time horse owners, and also great for those on a budget.  They are lightweight, adjustable, and really popular in the market.

What Wintec say:

Be ready to fly over any jump and feel secure in your position with a supportive deep seat, and the added comfort and grip of the most supple and durable leather-look, easy-care jump saddle yet.

After a big day of training –simply hose the sweat and dirt off your easy-care saddle!

For your horse, we have created super-soft panels which mould in and around their working muscles, hugging their conformation on every stride and freeing them to fly.

Your Wintec 500 Jump Saddle features;

    Our comments; really lightweight, easy to carry and transport, and lightweight on your horses back
  • Durable leather look

  • Super soft panels which mould to your horses shape
    Our comments; This is the best improvement on the saddle. The panels are really soft and squidgy, yet supportive to ensure your horse is comfortable.
