[RC] Finding Wintecs w/out CAIR panels - Karen CasemierI have a new Arab mare who doesn't really fit into any of my current saddles... both my other horses are very broad, with flat backs, and she is more of a M/MW tree size, and has more angle to her back - built more TB-like. I was thinking about trying the Wintecs on her, as she is still young and I don't want to invest a lot of mooney until she's had some more time under saddle and muscled up. However, I never really liked them for my flatbacked horses, but thought they might work well for her. However, I cannot find the 2000 A/P model anywhere without the CAIR panels - even checked my favorite used tack sites, including e-bay. I really do NOT like these panels, as I've had one of their dressage saddles with the CAIR and I never felt it really sat properly on the horses. Does anyone know where I could order one of these saddles w/out the CAIR panels?I CAN find the 500 model without CAIR, both new and used. Does anyone know how the balance and shape of this saddle compares to the 2000 model, if I can't find the 2000 w/out CAIR? FYI, I'm primarily interested in the A/P style saddles right now - she's a forward mover with a lot of spring in her step, and I'm finding it easier to stay out of her way riding a little shorter and more forward than I usually do in my dressage saddle. Also, I'm not interested in the endurance model, as I don't like the stirrup bar placement. If anyone has one they are interested in selling OR trading (I have a Duett AP model that would work well for a flatter-backed horse), you can e-mail me at kcrazzmatazz at hotmail dot com. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
