Featuring: Technology When it comes to technology it is no secret Bates saddles have always been a world leading innovator in this, so it comes as no surprise when the newest member of the Saddlery Brands International family, Arena saddles, also offers these super technological benefits. The technology that makes up HART has been proven to be transformative for both horse and rider: Protective cushioning: CAIR Cushion System Precision custom fit: EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution Ergonomic flex: Elastiflex Tree Free movement: Performance panel technology Superior rider performance: Comfort seat technology Leather The Arena saddles were designed to target the middle group of customers between the Bates saddles and Wintec saddle brands. For the traditional rider who wants a “proper” leather saddle, yet also requires the adjustability of the HART technology and care ease of the synthetic saddle. The Arena saddles takes all this into account with their European leather seat, knee pads, sweat flaps and panel top whist offering a low care synthetic panel underneath (the surface area that sits on the horses back)

 A well-fitting saddle is essential to your horse’s comfort, welfare, and general health. Arena Saddles featuring the revolutionary EASY-CHANGE & HART Fit Solution offer the highest flexibility for achieving an optimal fit and the ultimate performance for your horse. It is always best to seek Saddle fitting advice from a professional before purchasing or fitting an Arena saddle as it is not just as simple as changing the gullet plate width. The saddle may also need some panel adjustment with specific shimming in areas lacking on the topline or shape of the horse. Our saddle fitters love the Arena saddles due to the variety of models they offer to cover the broad spectrum of horse shapes and sizes.
