What do you think of this Wintec saddle and the interchangeable gullet system?
An AP saddle is designed for basically what you need it for…pleasure riding, dressage, hacking, and small jumping. If you will be doing more jumping however I wouldn’t recommend it..but it should be ok for your crossrail here and there. The gullet system is good. It allows your saddle to fit different horses or if your horses back changes over time, you are able to customize whereas some people have to go out and buy a new saddle. Changing the gullet won’t be “easy” the first few times, but you’ll get it. As far as your size…hard to say without seeing you but for the AP saddle probably a 16 or 16.5. Remember this is a deeper seated saddle so you usually have to size up a half size…but you must try to go to your local tack store and sit in it before you buy to be sure of your size. Good luck, overall they are good saddles for what you need. PS Pamela: Wintec invented the concept over 15 years ago, so I don’t think they have it wrong.
