WINTEC IS THE WORLD’S NUMBER ONE SYNTHETIC SADDLE BRAND! 

Wintec Saddles make riding easier and more comfortable.

 Wintec are incredibly proud to have been producing saddles for more than 35 years that are lightweight, strong, weatherproof, and simple to maintain. Wintec has attracted the attention of top equestrians over time, like Isabell Werth, who has gone on to win numerous gold medals while riding in Wintec saddles, a testimonial to its quality.

Wintec Saddles were launched at the World Equestrian Eventing Games in 1986 at Gawler in South Australia. There was a huge buzz at the time because they launched in every conceivable colour. From bright orange to fluro green as well as the cobalt blue and the very popular hot pink. The saddles caused a huge stir as up until then tradition had been black or brown leather, never synthetic and certainly not colourful. The equestrian world was turned on its head and so was born Wintec.

Our top riders loved the close feel and Erica Taylor the Australian individual dressage rider at Seoul Olympics rode in the brown dressage Wintec saddle in 1988. Her lovely stallion Crown Law could feel every move and was very comfortable in it . Although she was offered any new saddle to ride in she stuck with the brown Wintec and they danced together in it.

Above all else, Wintec riders are intensely devoted to their Wintec saddles for their own comfort and that of their horses.

Wintec Saddles are now more classically brown or black and have multiple different models to choose from. The Wintec 250 model is the base range and comes in All Purpose and is flocked. The Wintec 500 is available in Dressage, All Purpose or Jump models with a close contact and pro model and is available in flocked or HART models. (see HART section) In the Dressage section there is the choice of the Wintec Pro saddle or the Isabell Pro dressage saddle or the Wintec D’Lite range. There is also a Wintec Western range and an Endurance range. Overall a very thorough range with various colour and size options available. The Wintec Pony range is particularly a stand out and ideal for young riders that want error free learning without spending a fortune whist they are still growing.

The Wintec line of saddles is hassle-free and easy to maintain. To clean just Wet the saddle’s surface, then wipe it down with a moist towel after using Wintec cleanser or a light detergent diluted in water. Use a small, stiff-bristled brush, like a fingernail brush, to lift the dirt off tough spots. Finally Clean the saddle with water and let it air dry away from the sun.

Some Wintec versions come equipped with leather girth points and/or a leather wear patch on the underside of the saddle flap. When dressing leather with a high-quality wax-based leather cream or balsam, it should first be cleansed with saddle soap. Leather should not be exposed to excessive amounts of water or chemicals.

With Wintec saddles a Wintec girth with roller buckles, is advised and we always advise using Wintec stirrup straps. that can withstand any challenge that life may present.
