Bates Elevation DS Saddle – Deep Seat Jumping Saddle

Product Description

The Bates Elevation DS Saddle is a premium English jumping saddle designed for riders who want greater security, stability, and confidence over fences. The DS stands for Deep Seat, offering a more supportive, wrapped-in feel than the standard Bates Elevation saddle. It is suited to show jumping, competition preparation, and everyday schooling.

Crafted with double-lined Opulence leather, the saddle features a soft, grippy surface designed to provide comfort and secure contact from the first ride. Its deep seat helps support a stable riding position through approaches, take-off, and landing, while the anatomical tree is designed to reduce the tendency for the rear of the saddle to lift during riding.

The saddle 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 and thigh inserts provide additional support, while the recessed stirrup channel and ergonomic stirrup bar help maintain a consistent leg position and closer contact with the horse.

For the horse, the CAIR Cushion System uses air-filled panels to distribute the rider’s weight and cushion the back. The EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution combines interchangeable gullet plates with adjustable riser inserts, allowing a qualified saddle fitter to fine-tune tree width, balance, and clearance as the horse’s shape changes.

Combining premium leather, adjustable fitting technology, and a supportive deep seat, the Bates Elevation DS is an excellent option for riders seeking a performance-focused jumping saddle.
