Tips


 

The Easy-Change Gullet System is a revolution in convenience and comfort for horses and riders. It's a system developed to ensure that a saddle maintains the best fit for a horse by allowing riders to change a saddle's fit to suit a horse's changing shape.

Did you know ...

Your horse will change shape as its maturity, type of work and level of fitness changes.
A gullet that is too narrow may pinch and restrict the horse's shoulder movement
A gullet that is too wide may cause the saddle to sit on the horse's wither leading to damage of the spine
To avoid damaging your horse's back, you should check the fit of your saddle regularly
The Easy-Change Gullet System provides the flexibility of changing the fit of a saddle to suit a horse's changing shape. This means you don't need to buy a saddle for every horse you own and you don't need to buy a new saddle for a new horse. Click here for the 6 Easy-Change Gullet Steps.

You can easily determine the correct gullet width for your horse with an Easy-Measure Gullet Gauge. (Click here for the 4 Step Easy-Measure Gullet Steps. )

There are six gullet sizes available. YELLOW for Narrow, GREEN for Medium Narrow, BLACK for Medium, BLUE for Medium Wide, RED for wide or WHITE for extra wide. Available for purchase as a complete set of 6 with the Easy Measure Gauge, as well as individually.


To Use Wintec's Easy Change Gullet System follow this Simple 6-step Guide:
Hold the saddle in a vertical position so the cantle is pointing towards the ground and the seat of the saddle is facing towards you. Keeping the saddle in this position place the saddle between yourself and the edge of a table or bench. This provides you with leverage and easy access to the head of the saddle.

 

1. Unscrew the two screws located under the skirts in the head of the saddle.Some models may have the screws located at the top of the chamber. See picture on the right.
2. Pull away the velcro® closure in the head of the saddle and pull the panel down from the point pockets freeing the front half of the panel.
3. Remove the two screws at each end of the gullet plate. Before fitting new width gullet apply more loctite to the screws you have just removed. LOCTITE 243 Threadlocker is recommended. Alternatively use the new screws supplied with a gullet kit. Do not use any screws which do not have Loctite applied to secure gullet.
4. Fit new width gullet by only starting each screw until the gullet is lined up, then holding the gullet tight to the tree in the head of the saddle, fully tighten both screws.
5.Re-fit the panel in the point pockets.

6. Re-screw the head of the saddle and close velcro® fastening.

Important: Head screws must not be over-tightened. A firm pressure is all that's needed.
