I love my old Passier GG, but have been debating shortening flaps. I knew it would need reflocking soon and planned to do so this winter, but in clinic this weekend, it was off enough trainer asked if I had other saddle. My other real saddles do not fit TB mare at all, but my old Wintec does - too beat up to be worth selling, but comfy trail saddle. Well, she was not only better, I wasn’t fighting my old hunter hip to sit up properly in the canter! So I’m thinking I’ll sell Passier and buy nicer quality of something that fits me and horse like the beater saddle (the flaps are gray under my leg, lol). Any idea what rides like it? I know Bates are like Wintecs, but specifically this ancient model? May be too old/obscure, but thought I’d ask! Thanks!
Wintec Pro is about the closest. NOT the Isabell and definitely not Bates!
I would about give my eye teeth for another year zero Wintec monoflap. Well, except foe the not being able to adjuy them on a whim thing. Ponypantz likes her shims just right, tyvm.
I believe I have a Wintec Sport stilling hanging around in great shape. Suppose to be a trail saddle for my SO if he ever decided to ride. Love that saddle. I went on an got an Isabell. Fits different but worked for me.
My Wintec sport has what may have once been a faux patent material on the flap, that’s now gray and peeling. I’m actually going to peel all of that off so I don’t totally embarrass myself and my horses until I find a saddle that fits like it, and looks better. Lol! Thanks for the inputs!
