Is the Wintec 500 Dressage a good first dressage saddle?
Yes. It is made for riders starting their dressage journey, with a supportive seat and easy-care materials that hose off after a wet lesson.Which girth does it take?
It has long girth points, so it takes a short girth such as the Wintec Anatomic Girth.What comes with it?
The saddle comes fitted with a medium (black) gullet and Flexiblocs. Stirrup straps and a girth are not included. -
Approximate weight: 5.2 kg/11.5 lb. Weights vary a little by size and options. Your saddle, fitted as standard with a medium (black) gullet. Stirrup straps and a girth are not included. Riders often add an EASY-CHANGE gullet pack so they have every width to hand, an EASY-CHANGE riser pack for adjusting panel depth, a pair of stirrup straps and a girth. Fit is about comfort, balance and performance rather than any single number, so we would always start with a saddle fitter you trust. For the detail, see the size guide.
