Bates All Purpose SC Saddle with CAIR

Product Description

The Bates All Purpose SC (Square Cantle) Saddle with CAIR is a versatile English general-purpose saddle designed for leisure riding, flatwork, schooling, and some jumping. Its low, square-shaped cantle and forward-cut flap make it particularly suitable for riders who enjoy general riding with occasional jumping.

Crafted from Heritage leather, the saddle combines a supple, grippy finish with rider-support features designed for comfort, balance, and security. The CAIR Cushion System uses air-based cushioning to help distribute rider weight across the horse’s back, while the EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution allows compatible gullet and riser adjustments to accommodate changes in the horse’s shape.
