Grade 4 | Pre-Owned | Serial No. W23030129-44 | Saddle ID: S9608

Bench Inspection & Fitter’s Rating

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, every pre-owned saddle goes straight to our workshop before it ever hits the site. Our SMS Qualified Saddlers put it through a complete 24-point bench inspection, double-checking tree symmetry, CAIR air panel distribution, stitching, and billet security.

• Condition Grade: Grade 4 (Very Good Pre-Owned Condition)

• Fitter’s Notes: Structurally, this saddle is in excellent shape. The ElastiFlex tree, CAIR panels, and billet system are completely sound.

• Cosmetic Details: You’ll find light, normal surface wear on both flaps where stirrup leathers naturally rest ( take a look at the photos for a close-up). The Equi-Suede material is soft, grippy, and very well cared for.

What Makes The Isabell Icon Special?

Designed alongside dressage legend Isabell Werth, the Wintec Isabell Icon is built for riders who want high-performance position support without the high-maintenance demands of traditional leather.

The first thing you’ll notice when you sit in this saddle is how easily your leg falls into place. The ultra-narrow waist lets your thighs drop naturally, while the deep, grippy Equi-Suede seat keeps you steady and centered so you can focus on subtle aids. Plus, with a durable Equi-Leather wear patch at the bottom of the flap, it holds up against daily boot friction to stay looking great over time.

Why Our Fitters Love This Saddle

• A Close, Natural Leg Position: The re-engineered narrow waist keeps you from feeling split wide open, letting your leg hang straight down for a effortless, wrap-around feel.

• Custom Alignment: The adjustable stirrup bar is a game-changer. You can easily shift the bar position forward or backward to match your exact thigh length and hip angle.

• Full HART Comfort: Built with Horse and Rider Technology (HART), combining a flexible tree with CAIR air panels to absorb shock, adapt to your horse’s back in motion, and give their shoulders complete freedom.

• No Flap Flutter: The movable overgirth pulls the flap flat against your horse’s side, keeping everything quiet and steady through every stride.

How to Care for Your Saddle

One of the best parts about the Isabell Icon is how simple it is to keep clean:

• Daily Cleanup: No leather oils or conditioners needed! Just spray down with Wintec Saddle Cleaner after your ride, wipe off dirt and sweat with a soft cloth, and let it air dry.

• All-Weather Ready: Rain or shine, the synthetic Equi-Suede handles everyday arena riding without losing its grip or color.

Frequently Asked Questions

What horse shape does this saddle usually fit best?

It works best on horses with a Standard Wither and average back profile. Because it uses CAIR air panels and the EASY-CHANGE Riser System, your fitter can fine-tune the balance to fit subtle variations in your horse’s muscle tone.

Can I adjust the tree width at home?

Yes! You can swap the EASY-CHANGE Gullet Bars (ranging from Narrow to Extra-Wide) right in your own tack room as your horse changes shape throughout the season.

How do CAIR panels work?

Instead of traditional fiber flocking, CAIR panels use air cushions that constantly fluidly adapt to your horse’s moving back muscles. This helps eliminate pressure points and spreads your weight evenly across their back.
