Wintec 500 Dressage PONY Saddle HART
The Wintec 500 Dressage Pony Saddle with HART combines the best of both worlds: functionality and comfort. Horse and Rider Technology (HART) provides a number of advantages in this most supple and durable leather-look saddle to date, while also being extremely practical. For your pony, they will enjoy the super-soft panels which mold in and around their muscles, hugging their unique conformation and freeing them to move whether training or competing in dressage.
The subtly textured synthetic leather is comfortable, grippy, and easy to care for; after a day of riding, it can simply be hosed down with water. The deep, supportive seat provides the rider with a sense of safety and confidence.
Panels that allow them to conform to the horse's muscles while still allowing him to move freely are used on the horse's back. In addition to being lightweight , the Wintec 500 with HART is also easy to handle and has an adjustable fit.
HART provides the following services:
The CAIR® Cushion Panel System provides protective cushioning for the body. It distributes the rider's weight fluidly across the horse's back by utilising air pressure.
Using the EASY-CHANGETM Fit Solution, which consists of the EASY-CHANGE Gullet system and the EASY-CHANGE Riser system, you can achieve a precise custom fit. It is possible for riders to select the optimal gullet width for their horse's current shape and muscling, and to make adjustments within the saddle panels to achieve the best possible balance and clearance. All adjustments are quantifiable, symmetrical, and completely reversible, regardless of the method used.
The Elastiflex Tree, which is lightweight and durable, provides the lateral flexion necessary to work with the horse's muscular movement in every stride, allowing for more comfortable riding.Free movement is supported by Performance Panel Technology, which is shaped to support the horse's natural motion and is positioned to create a wide channel to relieve pressure on the spinal column.
With the help of Comfort Seat Technology, riders can achieve higher levels of performance. The rider's ability to move with the horse is supported by the seat's gentle support.
This saddle sets new standards in comfort and performance, helping position the rider correctly. This saddle is ideal for developing a strong dressage position and schooling horses for competition.
Rider reviews
I can't imagine my life without riding... and I can't imagine the hassle of riding in anything other than a Wintec!
Life's busy, time's precious. Make the most of every moment in a durable, weatherproof Wintec.
"Training together is our escape! My best friend and I love taking a few hours out for ourselves in a dressage arena to relax, unwind and simply ride together"
After training, competing or teaching... it's always nice to know my saddle just needs a quick wipe over and I'm done for the day!

Precision custom fit
…EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution
Together the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System and the EASY-CHANGE Riser System offer a total fitting solution for your horse’s absolute comfort and your peace of mind.
All adjustments are measurable, symmetrical and completely reversible, ensuring total confidence in your ability to custom fit your saddle to your horse’s changing shape for optimal comfort and performance.
Protective cushioning
…CAIR Cushion System
The revolutionary CAIR Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed air Cushions within each saddle panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for your horse, is simple. 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 cushion, 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 your horse’s comfort and performance is profound.
Ergonomic flex
…Elastiflex Tree
Supported by an EASY-CHANGE Gullet, the Elastiflex Tree features a rigid head to maintain clearance over your horse’s wither, while possessing lateral flexion to work with your horse’s muscular movement with every stride. Precision engineered to be lightweight, symmetrical and ultra durable the Elastiflex Tree is guaranteed against breakage for the lifetime of your saddle (under normal riding conditions), deemed to be 10 years.
Free movement
