Bates Victrix Jump Saddle

Product Description

The Bates Victrix Jump Saddle is a premium close-contact jumping saddle designed for riders seeking balance, precision, and a streamlined connection with their horse. Its lightweight, compact construction supports freedom of movement and a balanced riding position for show jumping and other jumping disciplines.

The saddle features Bates’ SweetSpot seat, designed to help position the rider in a balanced, neutral posture. Its close-contact design works alongside the Bates SynergyPanel system, which uses cushioning technology to support the horse’s back while allowing freedom around the withers.

The adjustable front and rear Flexibloc system allows riders to customise leg support to suit their individual riding position. An Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar offers additional flexibility when positioning the stirrups, helping riders find a comfortable alignment for jumping.

The Bates Victrix combines performance-focused saddle technology with a refined leather finish and optional coloured highlights. It is an appealing choice for riders who prioritise adjustability, close contact, and a modern jumping-saddle design.
