Bates All Purpose Heritage Rear Velcro CAIR

The Bates All Purpose Heritage Rear Velcro CAIR is the first truly high performance, general purpose saddle in the world, featuring cutting edge design and technology never previously seen in general purpose saddles. The Bates All Purpose Saddle has a deeper seat for added security and greater confidence, a narrow waist provides closer contact, so you sit into the saddle rather than on the saddle. The Ergonomic Stirrup Bar enables the roller of the tongue on the buckle to be recessed into the bar and sit flush, which significantly reduces the bulk under your leg, by at least one thickness of leather. The girthing system achieves greater strength and durability and improves the distribution of pull from the front and back of the saddle to increase comfort and saddle stability. Experience the power of innovation with instantaneous comfort, security and balance, ensuring the most luxurious seat for leisure riding, flatwork and some jumping. Your horse will show a marked improvement in their freedom of movement, as world leading performance systems the EASY-CHANGE FIT Solution and CAIR Cushion System maximize your horses comfort and freedom of movement. Your horse will enjoy unsurpassed adaptability for an optimal fit, even weight distribution and fluid cushioning for their total comfort. Saddles available with Heritage Leather combine the comfort and luxury of double-lined leather on the seat and on the knee inserts, with this unique leather being featured in the skirt (over the stirrup bar) and the saddle flaps. Heritage leather upholds the traditional European practices of natural oil and wax tannage. The high oil and wax content of this performance leather ensures optimum suppleness and enhanced rider grip. Characteristic of the finest natural leather, the leather is heavily pre-oiled with visible shade variations, often being referred to as a pull up leather with a tradition not distressed aesthetic. The depth of color is dependent on the infused oil content within the fibers of each particular hide. The distinctive tones of color are particularly visible when the leather is bent as the color lightens returning over time to its original color as the oils migrate back through into the fibers. Also included is Rear Velcro to enable the use of Flexiblocs for a more secure seat.
