Bates Elevation Saddle with Covered Leather

Product Description

The Bates Elevation Saddle with Covered Leather is a performance-oriented English jumping saddle designed for riders who prioritise close contact, balance, and freedom of movement over fences. Its streamlined design supports a forward jumping position, making it suitable for show jumping, intensive schooling, and competitive riding.

The saddle features a balanced, relatively flat seat that allows riders to move dynamically with the horse during take-off and landing. Its close-contact panels are designed to improve the rider’s feel of the horse, while the ergonomic stirrup bar helps support a comfortable leg position.

The adjustable front and rear Flexibloc system allows riders to customise knee and thigh support to suit their riding style. Moulded knee inserts provide additional support, while the recessed stirrup leather channel helps reduce bulk beneath the rider’s leg.

Finished in covered leather, this Bates Elevation model offers a traditional appearance for riders seeking a practical jumping saddle. Its design focuses on rider stability, horse movement, and performance during training and competition. The exact leather finish and technical features should be confirmed against the specific version being sold.
