Bracket gauge gullet measuring gauge

The unique Easy-Change Gullet system allows you to perfectly fit your Bates or Wintec saddle to your horse. This revolutionary system was specially developed to keep your saddle fitting your horse, even when your horse's conformation changes.

Did you know that...
Your horse's conformation will change as a result of age, type of training and level of fitness.
A chamber that is too narrow will pinch at the withers and will drastically limit the horse's freedom of shoulder.
A room that is too wide will cause the saddle to rest on the withers, resulting in pressure points and back problems.

If your horse's conformation changes during training, you can easily adjust your saddle yourself by changing the gullet. To determine the correct size, use a gullet gauge (a handy gauge that indicates which color stirrup you need).
Even if you change horses, you can continue to use your saddle by simply adjusting the stirrup.

When purchasing a Wintec or Bates saddle, a black gullet standard is always included in the saddle.
