4.5 = Ex-demo Saddle, has been used for fittings.
4.0 = Excellent Condition, has been used and ridden in.
3.5 = Very Good Condition
3.0 = Good Condition
2.0 = Fair ConditionThe Bates All Purpose Wide in Heritage Leather is built for broader horses, with the Wide version of Bates' EASY-CHANGE gullet system and CAIR air panels. It has a deep seat that helps you sit centrally and in balance, making it a comfortable all-rounder for flatwork, hacking and jumping on a wider type.
Fit & feel
- EASY-CHANGE Gullet System (Wide), taking bars from XW to 4XW: choose your gullet bar size and we'll fit it for you, and it can be swapped again later if your horse changes
- CAIR air panels, designed to adapt to your horse's back as it moves
- Deep seat for a balanced, central position
- Bates Ergonomic Stirrup Bar
- Adjustable Y-girthing system to help keep the saddle stable
- Full front gussets
- Heritage Leather
This one suits a broad horse or cob, ridden by someone who wants an adjustable all-rounder. For a traditional flocked comparison, try the GFS Monarch Cob GP alongside it and compare how a wool-flocked panel feels against the CAIR panel. One tip with CAIR panels: they'll look a little perched when you first put the saddle on, so girth it up and let it settle before judging how it sits.
As ever, that's a starting point for narrowing things down rather than a fit guarantee, so we'd recommend trialling it alongside an appointment with a fitter to see how it sits on your horse.
