[RC] Wintecs and heat build-up? - spiritwood@xxxxxxxxxHi, Rode this past weekend with my daughter in cool weather(30's degrees). We both use Wintecs, one all purpose 500, and one endurance saddle.Both saddles wer purchased new and both have the changeable gullets and the Cair systems. At the end of the ride, my daughter commented that her saddle pad was pretty wet but the horse had barely a damp spot anywhere even under the tack. I untacked my horse and he also was almost completly dry under the saddle but I noticed that the saddle had a lot of moisture on the bottom of it and my pad also was pretty damp(on the saddle side). Is it possible that this is due to heat from the horse that is trapped under the saddle and the moisture condenses on the bottom of the saddle? Is this something to worry about? My younger horse(5) has also developed a white spot on the left side up by the withers, directly under the top of the stirrup bars. Any ideas? He has been re-measured and is using the correct size of gullet for his build. Help!
