Well, good news is that I received my Wintec Wide saddle yesterday in the UPS mail with my dressage girth and gullets. Bad news? Well, my mom, dad, and I all spent probably a total of an hour trying to install the widest gullet. So much for the "easy change gullet system"! Anywho, there was a defect on the screw that held the gullet in place so it made it near impossible to change the gullet while keeping all your fingers attatched. My mom called Crazy Horse Tack (online store we got it fromfor a GREAT price) and they are sending us a label to return it to them, and they will give me a new WW and gullet system. What nice and understanding people!
Also, I went to Tractor Supply Company yesterday and found a black synthetic headstall that matches my saddle perfectly and is very nice material. I plan on putting my old loose ring snaffle on it and my finesse reins and using it as often as possible!
I will keep ya'll updated about my saddle, and the only update on Woody himself is that he seems great. He is now greeting me at the fence and following me up to the barn, progress has been made!!
Here is a picture I took last week with all his tack on when we went riding...

Hehe, Woody looks like a cute little sports pony in his new tack :) I actually have a saddle with an easy change gullet system too. No defects that I'm aware of but I can actually change it really easily, probably in like 10 minutes or less. Can't wait to see pics of you riding in your new saddle!

Hi Eden,
I have the wintec wide (brown) and really like it. I bought it second hand, and have used it lightly for over 2 years and it still looks like new - congrats on your selection :-) Tenley
