There have been several models, it looked to me like that one had the extended bars. The main reason I thought that was the flap on those saddles were *huge*, and that one looked like the newer model Wintec Pro Endurance. I loved the original Wintec Endurance, but haven't been much of a fan since they changed the design probably 10 years ago. I liked the ugly fabric Wintecs much better. Somewhere along the last 8 years I've owned most of the models of Wintec, the only remaining one is an original Wintec Dressage from the 80's that had a broken tree. The tree has now been removed and I've been playing with making it into a useable treeless saddle. Right now I use it for groundwork and despooking, if a horse does have a heart attack in it and all goes bad then the horse nor saddle will suffer ill for it.
