Bates Elevation Saddle – Close Contact Jumping Saddle

Product Description

The Bates Elevation Saddle is a premium English jumping saddle designed for riders seeking close contact, freedom of movement, and a balanced position over fences. Developed for show jumping and regular schooling, it combines a streamlined flat seat with close-contact panels to help riders follow the horse’s movement and maintain effective communication.

Made with double-lined Opulence leather, the saddle provides a soft, grippy feel intended to offer comfort and security from the first ride. Its flat seat gives experienced riders room to adjust their position dynamically during jumping, while the close-contact construction helps maintain a more direct connection with the horse.

The Bates Elevation features an adjustable front and rear Flexibloc system, allowing riders to customize knee-block positioning to suit their leg length and riding style. Moulded knee inserts and a recessed stirrup channel help support a consistent leg position, while the ergonomic stirrup bar is designed to promote balance and stability.

With its streamlined profile, quality leather finish, and performance-focused design, the Bates Elevation is an excellent option for riders looking for a close-contact jumping saddle for training and competition.
