hi heidi, I think the wintec pro is an excellent saddle. i ride really technical trails and the downhills really steep. The saddle holds me in place and I feel really secure so I can pay attention to my horse.
the seat was perfect for me. I had the black suede which kept me from sliding around. The overall performance of the saddle was great. I also had 3 different saddle fitters check out the wintec, a kanavy and a synergist and they said the wintec fit my horse the best.
