We love the Bates Dressage+ saddle because the beautiful leather options and design offers outstanding performance for horse and rider.
Beneath the traditional lines and elegant appearance, the Bates Dressage saddle offers high performance, as focused on ensuring your horse’s comfort and a balanced rider position. Featuring an Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar and a narrow waist with greater width behind the rider for increased support of an optimal dressage position.
Luxe leather is a special order upgrade and can take 14 weeks for delivery. Luxe Leather is hand-selected from the finest calf-leather in the world and meticulously cared for throughout its specialized tanning process. This will guarantee exceptional performance in strength, richness of color, ultra-soft feel and level of grip to meet the unique demands of an equestrian saddle. Leather is a natural product and as such any marks, scars or color variations within the Luxe Leather are not a fault and add to the individual character of your new Bates Luxe Leather saddle. Your new saddle will feel exceptionally grippy, luxurious and succulent from day one, providing you with the ultimate in comfort and prestige.
Opulence leather is double lined and offers a soft milled, on the exterior of the saddle, renowned for its ultra-soft and grippy characteristics, ensuring immediate rider comfort, security and reducing any ‘breaking in’ time traditionally associated with new saddles.
