The biggest evolution in jump saddles has landed. A saddle built for riders who hunt perfection, not wait for it. Angular. Predatory. Built for speed and height over elite-level fences. Bates Apex features patented, game-changing technology that transforms what a jump saddle can do.

Jump higher. Turn tighter. Ride bolder.

Key Features:

Ultimate stability at take-off, bascule, and landing

Patented FlapLock Technology locks the flap down—eliminating drag and transforming leg stability at the exact moment it matters most.

Your true seat size with more room for your leg

The forward flap gives riders with a longer femur the space they need—complete stability.

Fine-tune your stirrup placement to match your ride

The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar lets you set your position and lock in your advantage.

Fresh, protective contact on every horse

The ultra-close Bates SynergyPanel conforms instantly to each horse's back—then resets completely.

Find your position without thinking about it

The SweetSpot draws you into centre and holds you there through the turn, over the fence, on landing.

Nothing between you and your horse

The new, slimline girth point attachment sits flush and seamless—your aids land clean, your horse responds instantly.

Position your leg support exactly where you need it

Movable Flexiblocs adjust to suit your riding style—or remove them entirely.

Quiet luxury that whispers its power

Monochrome luxury with tonal layers of premium European leather, considered angles, and subtle embroidery in the chamber.

Land lighter, recover faster, stay together

The CAIR Cushion System delivers cloud-like cushioning that keeps you with your horse fence after fence.
