The Bates WIDE Dressage saddle is a cutting edge dressage saddle specially designed for the wider horse. The performance driven deep seat delivers an unsurpassed level of comfort for you and contact with your horse never previously experienced in a WIDE saddle. The deeper seat and ultra-narrow waist enables you to sit deeper into the saddle to support a well-balanced and central position. For your horse, an ultra-thin panel, wide chamber, large, even bearing surface and adjustable Y-girthing ensure optimal saddle stability and freedom of movement for a comfortable fit.
What our fitters think: "The Bates WIDE dressage really opens so may doors and give us a fantastic option for wider fitting dressage saddle when the market is still quite limited in these. Great if your horse is a "plus size" or XW and above in fitting as these range up to an impressive 4XW!"
Luxe Leather
Luxe Leather is hand-selected from the finest calf leather in the world and meticulously cared for throughout its specialised tanning process to guarantee exceptional performance in strength, richness of colour, ultra-soft feel and level of grip to meet the unique depends on an equestrian saddle.
EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution
The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution is a customisable saddle fitting system designed to grow with your horse. It combines adjustable gullet bars (WIDE models take size XW-4XW) with a riser system that allows your saddle fitter to fine-tune the saddle’s fit. This means your saddle can adapt as your horse’s shape changes or even be adjusted for a completely new horse, with no permanent changes.
CAIR® Cushion System
CAIR replaces traditional wool flocking with sealed, air-filled panels. They're designed to spread your weight along the length of the panel and to move with your horse as they work, rather than staying in a fixed shape. 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.
Please note: The CAIR cushions are completely sealed and do not need inflating.
Please note: this saddle is NEW TO ORDER we do not hold stocks of new saddles and lead times vary depending on model
