  Did you know ...
  - Your horse will change shape as its maturity, type of work and level of fitness changes.
  - A gullet that is too narrow may pinch and restrict the horse's shoulder movement
  - A gullet that is too wide may cause the saddle to sit on the horse's wither leading to damage of the spine
  - To avoid damaging your horse's back, you should check the fit of your saddle regularly
  
  The 6 gullets - The Easy-Change Gullet System - provides the flexibility of changing the fit of a saddle to suit a horse's changing shape. This means you don't need to buy a saddle for every horse you own and you don't need to buy a new saddle for a new horse. You can easily determine the correct gullet width for your horse with an Easy-Measure Gullet Gauge. There are six gullet sizes available. YELLOW for Narrow, GREEN for Medium Narrow, BLACK for Medium, BLUE for Medium Wide, RED for wide or WHITE for extra wide. Available for purchase as a complete set of 6 with the Easy Measure Gauge, as well as individually.
  
  
• CAIR PANEL SYSTEM - Finally a panel system that understands the mechanics of the equine back and the impact saddles have on horse and rider performance. The revolutionary CAIR Panel System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed Air Panels within each Saddle Panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for the horse is simple.
  Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horses working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the panel, virtually eliminating pressure points. This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage and a happier horse. For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR Panel System makes to a horses comfort and performance is profound.
  The CAIR Panel System is patented worldwide and exclusive to Bates and Wintec Saddles.
