Looking for a jumping saddle that offers a little extra room for your leg without compromising that close contact feel? This used Bates Luxe Leather Close Contact+ Saddle features a 17" seat, forward-cut flaps, and supple dark brown leather, bringing together rider comfort, security, and the fitting versatility Bates is known for.
The forward flap provides additional room for the rider's knee, making it a feature worth considering for riders with a longer femur or those who prefer a shorter stirrup length over fences. Front and rear blocks offer additional leg support, while the naturally grippy Luxe Leather creates a comfortable, connected feel. This saddle also features Bates' HART technology, including the CAIR Cushion System and EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution, which allows a qualified saddle fitter to make adjustments to the saddle's fit and balance.
Why you'll love this saddle: Between its supple Luxe Leather, forward flap, supportive blocks, and adjustable fitting system, this Bates offers a thoughtful combination of rider security and everyday versatility for the hunter/jumper ring.
This saddle is in used condition with visible signs of previous riding. The dark brown leather shows rubbing, creasing, and areas of discoloration, particularly along the flaps, underside, and billets. There are small surface scratches and abrasions on one flap, as well as cosmetic wear around the panel and seat edges. Please review all photos and video for a closer look at its condition.
Here are a few words from the saddle maker:
Bates designs its close contact saddles with an emphasis on balance, comfort, and connection between horse and rider. Its Luxe Leather is selected for its exceptional softness and natural grip, while HART technology brings together protective cushioning and adjustable fitting components. The EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution allows adjustments to saddle width and balance, helping a qualified saddle fitter fine-tune the fit for the individual horse.
