The Easy Change Riser System is a must have product for any Wintec / Bates / Arena saddle owner. Utilise them as and when your horse changes shape, drops a little muscle, has some time off, is coming back into work or if the horse has a tricky conformation profile or is older. They allow for a completely custom fit on your horse, even on the trickiest of profiles. If buying a Wintec / Bates / Arena saddle these are a must have in your tack room. Ensure you select the correct pack based on the model of saddle you have as they are slightly different in shape and size. The complete pack works on GP / Dressage saddles by Wintec/Bates/Arena (except pony sizes). The complete pack also contains some thicker shims which are ideal for horses with higher wither profiles that need more lift over the withers.
