Workshop Inspection & Quality Certification

Every second-hand saddle listed on Premium Saddle Shop undergoes a thorough workbench assessment by our qualified technicians. We verify the ElastiFlex tree integrity, test CAIR air panel distribution, check billet strap security, and inspect all hardware.

• Overall Condition: Grade 4 — Very Good Pre-Owned Condition

• Structural Rating: 100% sound across the flexible tree, CAIR cushion system, and billet assembly.

• Cosmetic Details: Features light, typical surface wear on both flaps from stirrup leather friction (clearly shown in the listing photographs). The synthetic Equi-Suede material remains soft, grippy, and well-maintained, complete with durable Equi-Leather wear patches intact.

Model Overview

Developed in partnership with world champion dressage rider Isabell Werth, the Wintec Isabell Icon offers elite positional balance paired with easy, low-maintenance synthetic materials.

Engineered around an ultra-slim waist, it allows your thigh to drop naturally into a close-contact position. The deep, grippy Equi-Suede seat provides exceptional rider stability, allowing for clear, quiet aids without feeling restricted in the saddle.

Workshop & Fitter Highlights

• Narrow Waist Alignment: The slim twist prevents feeling split wide over the horse’s back, encouraging an effortless, wrap-around leg position.

• Adjustable Stirrup Placement: The position-adjustable stirrup bar allows you to shift the bar position to match your exact hip-to-heel balance line.

• HART Technology (Horse and Rider Technology): Combines the shock-absorbing CAIR air panel system with the flexible ElastiFlex tree to adapt fluidly to your horse’s back in motion while freeing up shoulder movement.

• Overgirth Stability: The integrated overgirth pulls the outer flap flush against the horse’s side, eliminating flap flutter during arena work.

Frequently Asked Questions

What horse shape does the Wintec Isabell Icon fit best?

It is built for horses with a Standard Wither profile and a moderate topline. Because it uses CAIR air cushions and the EASY-CHANGE Riser System, a fitter can easily balance the saddle to accommodate subtle muscle shifts.

Can I change the gullet width myself?

Yes! The EASY-CHANGE Gullet system allows riders to swap tree bars (from Narrow up to Extra-Wide) directly in the tack room as the horse changes condition.

How do CAIR panels benefit the horse?

Unlike solid wool flocking, CAIR panels use air cushion technology that fluidly adjusts to your horse’s active back muscles under motion, distributing rider weight evenly and minimizing localized pressure points.
