Bates Innova Mono Plus Saddle with CAIR
Product Description
The Bates Innova Mono Plus Saddle with CAIR is a premium English dressage saddle designed for riders seeking exceptional close contact, precise communication, and a balanced riding position. Featuring an innovative monoflap design, this saddle helps create a closer connection between horse and rider while providing customisable support for dressage training and competition.
Crafted from luxurious double-lined leather, the Bates Innova Mono Plus offers a soft, supple feel and excellent grip. Its deep yet open seat is designed to support rider stability while allowing freedom of movement. The anatomical FlexiContourbloc can be repositioned to suit the rider’s leg, while the adjustable ergonomic stirrup bar allows for a more personalised stirrup position.
The saddle incorporates the CAIR Cushion System, which uses air-filled panels to help distribute the rider’s weight across the horse’s back. The EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution combines interchangeable gullet and riser systems, allowing adjustments to help accommodate changes in the horse’s shape and musculature. Its running Y-girthing system helps provide a secure, balanced girthing arrangement.
Combining premium leather, innovative fitting technology, and a close-contact monoflap design, the Bates Innova Mono Plus is an excellent choice for dressage riders who value comfort, stability, and precise aids.
