Hi Melanie &
everyone !
I love my Wintec 2000 w/ Cair Panels !! If you put
the real fleece stirrup covers on, you may just fall in love !! I use
the 2" wide real fleece ( in black, to match my saddle ) and they contour like
small cushy fenders. I use half chaps, and wear sneakers. I like
the "regular" hanging stirrups- I am not very long legged and would feel
constricted- don't fence me in ! Seriously- I am very happy with this set up.
I ordered the gullet kit, and am currently using one between the average
and wide. This will accomodate 90% of the horses I own and ride.
The gullet kit seems to give the saddle more structure but maintains the
lighter weight. I have also noticed over the years that I prefer a
larger saddle for endurance to be more comfortable, and to accomodate the
English Sportpack that sits on the rim of the cantle. Don't feel odd ordering
a saddle 2" larger than your usual western saddle size- it's apples and
oranges. Als! o- when you are in the middle of nowhere at mile 45 who re ally
cares as long as you are comfortable ! Happy Trails ! - Heidi Helly
