Total elegance meets high performance in an iconic dressage saddle that is state of the art. The Bates Isabell Icon stands alone in freeing your horse’s full scope of movement and conveying your aids clearly. Strengthening your natural position and enhancing your intuitive connection, through saddle innovation and career experience. Your journey starts here.

For you
Beneath elegant lines, the perfect dressage seat and leading saddle innovations can be tailored perfectly for your ridden biomechanics. When you optimise the saddle for your natural position,
your balance and stability are enhanced, you ride in total synergy and your vision comes to life.

“Sitting centrally in the saddle you feel close to your horse, able to sit deeper with exceptional stability to move with the swing of your horse.” Isabell Werth

For your horse
Engineered to adapt with your horse as they move through their body with total comfort, displaying strength and suppleness through their movements.
You will immediately notice your connection is accentuated and your horse more intrinsically responsive to your aids.

“I love to see the freedom in my horse’s shoulder, to feel in their expression they are comfortable and supple. The adjustability of my saddle together with CAIR has kept so many of my horses so comfortable over so many years.” Isabell Werth

Bates SynergyPanel: the ultimate for close contact dressage performance

Exclusive to Bates Saddles. Ultra-fine and low profile, this panel sculpts away from your horse’s shoulder and transitions contact seamlessly and gradually on to your horse’s body, freeing their shoulder and achieving optimal space around the wither. The connection between you and your horse is accentuated through channelling your leg with seamless contact to let your horse feel your aids as they have never before. Your horse will instantly respond to the soft cushioning of the CAIR Cushion System, which lets them extend, lift and round to their fullest potential.

Second Hand Bates Innova Dressage Saddle | Standard Contourbloc

The Innova saddle features a deep, yet surprisingly open seat that works in partnership with the revolutionary Contourbloc®, which is anatomically contoured to the rider’s leg.

The Contourbloc® offers unprecedented security, as your leg rides in and behind the bloc, eliminating any ‘lifting’ of the leg without any restriction. The Innova saddle is available in Standard or Extended Contourbloc® options, which enables you to select the optimal support for your physique and riding position. Available with either a standard or long flap

Features of the Bates Innova

High performance panel for your horse with a flatter and broader bearing area creating an exceptional contact footprint on your horse’s back.

The Innova’s tree is sculpted to be wafer thin in the waist, eliminating potential interference for men and women. The seamless transition from your seat through the length of your leg results from the interface of the panel and saddle flaps. You will feel your leg drops straight on to the horse with no interruption. 

The Contourbloc® is a groundbreaking innovation in dressage, anatomically contoured to your  leg making it distinctly unique. Enjoy unprecedented security, as your  leg effortlessly rides in and behind the bloc with no restriction.

Secure your stirrup leathers with the distinctive Bates Stirrup Keeper. Why not add a sense of style, colour and individuality to your saddle with the interchangeable Bates Jewelled Stirrup Keepers? Each stirrup keeper features three stones and are available in Clear, Blue or Pink.
