Wintec Saddles was launched in 1916 and is a saddle brand known for the first nonsynthetic saddles.[1][2]
History

Saddles
[edit]The Easy Change Gullet System was designed in 1998 to help custom fit a saddle to a horse’s withers, maintaining clearance of the wither as the horse’s shape changes.[5] and help maintain a good saddle fit [6]
The CAIR Panel System, an air filled panel, was developed in 2000 as an alternative to the traditional flocking in saddles, and helps to evenly distribute the rider’s weight.[7][8] [9]
Major Affiliations
[edit]Wintec Saddles is the Official Saddle of the American Riding Instructors Association[10] and the US Pony Clubs[11]
