A couple of weeks ago I found a great deal on a saddle package through a Facebook group. I got a Wintec Pro Endurance with the wide tree, and a bunch of other stuff for the trail. I've been eying something like it for a while, and when this came up, I jumped. The saddle came last Monday. Despite me not feeling well, I had to know if the saddle would fit and it did! I didn't test ride it due to being sick and not wanting to actually finish tacking him up.

So, later that week I had to try the saddle. We didn't do more than walk around the paddock and sit for a while. The leathers that came with it were way to short for me, so I ditched them. Overall, I think I like the saddle, but the seat might be to big for me. I need to put my other leathers on it and actually ride around in it to get a better feel though. When I was sitting there, it didn't feel like I had anything behind me. Maybe I am too use to the western saddle now. Maybe this would be good for getting a better position. I think the cantle on my close contact pushes me too forward, so theoretically this would help. We shall see.

This saddle also came with a pad with two giant pockets. It will replace my mouse eaten pad for now.
hope you like it! i rode in a wintec for a super long time and always felt pretty comfortable in it, except it didn't do my jumping position any favors (or fit the horse, oops). was great for trail riding tho!
