The Wintec 500 Dressage Saddle with HART is a great choice for riders just beginning to study dressage. Horse and Rider Technology (HART) offers multiple benefits in this most supple and durable leather-look saddle yet.

The Wintec 500 has a deep, supportive seat to provide the new dressage rider with a feeling of security. The subtly textured synthetic leather is comfortable, grippy and easy-care, and it can be cleaned by hosing with water.

For the horse, super-soft panels mold in and around the muscles, hugging the shape of the horse while providing the freedom to move. The EASY-CHANGE™ Fit Solution allows for an adaptable fit. Weighing just 14.1 pounds, the Wintec 500 with HART is also a joy to handle.

HART delivers:

• Protective cushioning through the CAIR® Cushion Panel System. It uses air to distribute the rider’s weight fluidly across the horse’s back.
• Precision custom fit with the EASY-CHANGE™ Fit Solution, comprised of the EASY-CHANGE Gullet system and the EASY-CHANGE Riser system. Riders can select the optimal gullet width for the horse’s current shape and muscling, and make adjustments within the saddle panels for optimal balance and clearance. All adjustments are measurable, symmetrical and completely reversible.
• Ergonomic flex through the lightweight and durable Elastiflex Tree, which provides the lateral flexion to work with the horse’s muscular movement in every stride.
• Free movement supported by Performance Panel Technology shaped to support the horse’s natural motion and positioned to create a wide channel to clear the spine.
• Superior rider performance aided by Comfort Seat Technology. The seat gently supports the rider’s ability to move with the horse.

Other key features of this dressage saddle include:

• Ergonomic Stirrup Bar: Places the buckle of a stirrup leather in a recessed position to reduce bulk under your thigh.
• Adjustable Flexibloc System: Enables you to customize thigh support to your preference.
• Quick-change billet system: Allows customization by a saddler or saddle fitter and provides the assurance that billets can be returned to factory standard for the life of the saddle.
• Adjustable Y-girthing: Allows for an ideal adjustment and promotes saddle stability.
