Bates Advanta Eventing Saddle in Havana Brown and Classic Black

Product Description

The Bates Advanta Eventing Saddle in Havana Brown and Classic Black is a premium monoflap jumping saddle designed for eventers and competitive riders seeking close contact, precise communication and a balanced position over fences. Its distinctive two-tone leather finish combines the rich appearance of Havana Brown with the timeless elegance of Classic Black.

Crafted from premium, hand-selected Luxe Leather, the Bates Advanta offers a supple riding surface with tactile grip. Its forward-cut monoflap design minimises the layers between the rider’s leg and the horse, supporting a more direct feel during take-off, landing and turns.

The saddle features Bates’ patented FlexiContourbloc® technology, with movable front and rear blocks that allow riders to customise their leg support. The SweetSpot jumping seat is designed to promote balance and stability, helping the rider maintain an effective position during demanding jumping sequences.

For horse comfort, the Advanta incorporates the SynergyPanel, CAIR® Cushion System and EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution. These technologies are designed to support adaptable panel contact, cushioning and saddle-fitting adjustments. The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar allows the rider to refine stirrup placement for a more natural leg alignment.

Combining performance-focused engineering with a distinctive two-tone finish, the Bates Advanta is designed for riders participating in eventing, showjumping and other demanding jumping disciplines.

Fit and Compatibility

The Bates Advanta is designed for jumping and eventing, but correct saddle fit depends on the horse’s back shape, wither profile, shoulder movement and the rider’s measurements.

Before purchasing, confirm the exact colour configuration, seat size, leather condition and included fitting components. The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution provides adjustment options but does not guarantee compatibility with every horse.

A qualified saddle fitter should assess the saddle’s balance, wither clearance, panel contact and freedom of movement before regular use. For a pre-owned saddle, inspect the tree, panels, stitching, girthing points, stirrup bar and adjustable blocks.
