EASY-CHANGE Gullet System – Complete Pack

Product details

EASY-CHANGE Gullet System complete pack provides the components needed to adjust the tree width in a compatible saddle featuring the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System.

EASY-CHANGE Gullet System complete pack for compatible saddles

The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System is exclusive to Bates Saddles and Wintec Saddles. It offers a means of altering the width of the saddle’s Elastiflex tree by changing the Gullet Plate fitted between the tree points. The plate governs the width of the tree from the waist to the tree points, allowing the saddle to be adjusted using the available genuine components.

The Elastiflex tree is supported by the rigid gullet at the head and has true lateral flexion to work with the horse’s muscles. Genuine EASY-CHANGE Gullet Plates are engineered to remain rigid and are colour coded by size. The supplied gauge can assist with identifying the appropriate plate option, although professional saddle fitting may be appropriate when assessing saddle fit.

Using the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System

This pack is intended for saddles that already feature the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System. Before purchasing, check that your saddle is a compatible Bates or Wintec model. The Gullet Plate is fitted between the tree points, and the selected plate determines the width of the tree through the relevant area of the saddle.

Only genuine EASY-CHANGE Gullet Plates are accredited for use in saddles featuring the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System. The supplied genuine components are designed to remain true to their size throughout their life. The product information states that using non-genuine component parts will void any manufacturer warranty, so replacement parts should be selected carefully.

Buying advice

Choose this complete pack if you need the gauge, the full set of five plate options and the fitting fixings together. It is particularly useful where more than one genuine plate option may need to be considered over time. If you are uncertain whether your saddle has the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System or which plate is appropriate, ask a qualified saddle fitter to assess it.
