Horse Tack & Saddles

I just bought a wintec 2000 AP saddle to show with but the saddle seems to have a higher back than the photo suggested. I know the rules for hunt seat say the back should be flat and I was unsure if this qualified. If you look at at a straight on photo off yahoo image search you should be able to see the hight, the cantle is about 3 1/2 to 4 inches higher than the pommel. thanks

I can tell you right now that I’ve never been to a show (Hunt Seat) where this saddle was used. You’re right, in terms that it probably won’t be a legal show saddle, depending on what show circuit you’re on. Local might let you use it, but anything above that probably won’t.

   I wouldn’t since the rules say the back should be flat.

   Your best bet is to look at the rules of whatever shows you would be entering.

   I used Wintec 2000 AP saddle in a hunt seat; But, Its not comfortable for me. After that i had get English saddle with Saddle pad in reasonable price at http://www.agritura.com/index.php/cat/c1_Horse—Rider.html/category/Horse—Rider Its very comfortable for me and my horse. Such, English Saddle is always best.
