Easy-Change Fit Solution

Bates saddles have the flexibility and the integrity to have a perfect fit for any kind of horse. With the fit solution, the saddle can be changed and re-fit to account for any changes that may come with time, increased workouts, etc and all adjustments are easily reversible if necessary. This system has two parts, the gullet system, and the riser system. (This link can help with more info about adjustments)

1. The gullet system allows you to change the width of the tree in your saddle. With ten different sizes, the Bates Advanta Eventing Saddle is a great investment and it can grow with you (or shrink) over time. You can buy either the complete set (with five gullet sizes from narrow to wide) or the Wide system (which includes four gullet sizes from extra wide to 4x wide).
2. The riser system allows you to customize the saddle panel for your optimal clearance and balance. The risers fit in a velcro pocket in between the tree and the cushion panel and for up to 16mm of lift. This system is convenient, quick, and reversible. There is the Standard pack (4 front risers, 2 center risers, and 4 rear risers) and the Standard Starter pack (2 front, center, and rear risers).

To make sure you get the perfect fit for your saddle, email us and we’ll send you the gullet system gauge for free. Then we can provide you with that size gullet when you receive your saddle. They come standard with a medium sized gullet.

Synergy Panel of the Bates Advanta Eventing Saddle

This provides the best cushioning for your horse and reduces any pressure felt during jumps along with increasing blood flow to the neck. It is low profile and absorbs shock with air. Increases range of motion and wither freedom.

Sweet Spot

This means that the saddle is perfectly aligned to give you the best jump seat.  It is ultra narrow and keeps you in close contact with your horse. Every system is perfectly symmetrical unless you choose to adjust it in some way.

CAIR Cushion System

This unique advancement replaces the usual fillings in your saddle with air. This system has been around since 2000 and saddles with this technology can be used on numerous horses as the panels do not have a residual memory and mold to whatever it is put on every time. Pretty much, it eliminates residual weight from the standard pressure points on your horses back and evenly distributes it. When the horse moves, the panels fluidly adjust to keep the equilibrium.

 

Adjustable Stirrup Bar

This allows riders to choose everything about their stirrup placement.  Whether you like your stirrups closer to your body, or farther away, by lifting the catch and sliding the bar, you can create a riding position to suit your individual needs. To lock it in, you press down firmly on the catch.

Every Bates saddle includes a two-year warranty for faulty materials or workmanship and a ten-year warranty on the tree.
