The Bates Victrix combines a close-contact jumping design with premium leather and adjustable rider-support features. Its SweetSpot seat is designed to encourage a balanced position, while the Flexibloc system allows riders to tailor knee support for their preferred jumping posture.

Its Luxe Leather construction adds a premium feel, and the available colour accents offer a distinctive finish for riders who want their equipment to reflect their personal style.

Whether you are preparing for competitions, refining your jumping technique, or training regularly, the Bates Victrix delivers a combination of performance-focused design, refined craftsmanship, and rider-focused adjustability.

Care and Maintenance

1. Wipe away dust, sweat, and dirt after every ride using a soft cloth.
2. Clean the Luxe Leather with a suitable equestrian leather cleaner recommended for premium calf leather.
3. Apply an appropriate leather dressing according to Bates’ care guidelines to maintain the leather’s softness, grip, and appearance.
4. Avoid excessive oiling and harsh cleaning products that may affect the leather finish.
5. Store the saddle on a properly shaped saddle rack in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area.
6. Inspect the billets, stitching, stirrup bars, Flexibloc attachments, and girth fittings regularly.
7. Arrange periodic professional inspections to assess the saddle’s structure, panels, and overall condition.

Saddle-Fitting Advice

Before purchasing, have a qualified saddle fitter assess the horse’s back shape, tree width, wither and spinal clearance, panel contact, and overall saddle balance. The rider’s seat size, leg position, and preferred jumping posture should also be considered.

The adjustable Flexibloc system can help customise rider support, but it cannot compensate for an incorrectly fitted saddle. The complete saddle should be assessed on the individual horse, both while standing and under a rider, to ensure suitable contact and freedom of movement.

Ordering Information

Before placing your order, confirm the required seat size, leather finish, colour accents, saddle condition, and included accessories. Verify whether the saddle is offered in Classic Black or Havana Brown and whether the selected configuration includes contrasting highlights.

Contact the seller to confirm current availability, final pricing, shipping costs, delivery arrangements, and any applicable warranty terms before completing your purchase.
