The Bates Innova Monoflap is an innovative design dressage saddle that ensures unrivalled close contact, connection and rider customisation by utilising the benefits of the FlexiContourbloc and Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bars.
What our fitters think: “The Bates Innova dressage saddle has proved itself over the years as a high end adjustable dressage saddle that works well on flatter backed horses with low to medium withers and a flatter back profile to the croup.”
Featuring:
Deep, Supportive Seat
Provides a secure and balanced position for a range of disciplines, from leisure riding to flatwork and light jumping.
Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar
The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar empowers you to achieve effortless alignment between you and your horse. By allowing you to customise the position of the stirrup bar, you have complete control over your preferred riding position. The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar can be easily repositioned by simply lifting the catch and sliding the bar to suit your individual position. The bar should then be secured by pressing down firmly on the catch and locking the bar into place.
FlexiContourbloc
The FlexiContourbloc is anatomically contoured to allow your leg to fit in and behind the bloc. This bloc design provides unparalleled support tailored to your individual riding position for maximised comfort and security. The FlexiContourbloc can be effortlessly adjusted forwards, backwards, or on a precise angle to mirror your individual riding position. Once you’ve found the perfect placement, simply tighten the two screws under the flap to lock the FlexiContourbloc securely into place.
Opulence Leather
Renowned for its ultra-soft and grippy characteristics, ensuring immediate rider comfort, security and reducing any ‘breaking in’ time traditionally associated with new saddles.
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 (available in sizes from Medium to XW) 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—no permanent changes required!
CAIR® Cushion System
The CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional flocking with air-filled panels to ensure your horse’s ultimate comfort. These sealed panels work by evenly distributing the rider’s weight across your horse’s back, helping to eliminate pressure points and allowing the panels to move and mould with your horse’s working muscles. This means your horse can enjoy complete freedom of movement, improved blood flow, and support for muscle development.
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
