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.

Heritage 

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 traditional, if not distressed aesthetic. The depth of colour is dependent on the infused oil content within the fibers of each particular hide. The distinctive tones of colour are particularly visible when the leather is bent as the colour lightens returning over time to its original colour as the oils migrate back through into the fibers.

Opulence
Select models feature soft milled, Opulence Leather on the exterior of the saddle, renowned for its ultra-soft and grippy characteristics, ensuring immediate rider comfort, security and reducing any ‘breaking in’ time traditionally associated with new saddles.Models featuring Opulence Leather often offer additional features such as a recessed stirrup channel for the ultimate in close contact, wear patches for added durability and key innovations in rider comfort and adjustability such as an Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar. Included features will vary by model.

Luxe
Luxe Leather is hand-selected from the finest calf-leather in the world and meticulously cared for throughout its specialised tanning process. This will guarantee exceptional performance in strength, richness of colour, ultra-soft feel and level of grip to meet the unique demands of an equestrian saddle. Leather is a natural product and as such any marks, scars or colour variations within the Luxe Leather are not a fault and add to the individual character of your new Bates Luxe Leather saddle. Your new saddle will feel exceptionally grippy, luxurious and succulent from day one, providing you with the ultimate in comfort and prestige.

They are fantastic design for the wider natives & to be honest there is no saddle on the market that I would choose over one of these, they are so comfortable & put you in the correct position and give you the comfort and support you need to do schooling and hacking. 

I then decided to purchase another one for another home bred black welsh section d stallion we have and again we love it, I hope to be out competing in it this season. 

I can’t recommend these saddles enough for anyone losing the will to live thinking they can’t have a dressage saddle for there native because nothing is wide enough they need to try the Bates Wide Dressage!

The deep seat in the Isabell Saddle is unique, positioning the rider in a central and balanced position that ensures correct rider alignment is effortless.

The saddle provides the ultimate connection with the horse through a seamless, ultra narrow transition from the rider’s seat through the length of their leg. The saddle offers tremendous support for the dressage horse, through the anatomic shaping of the tree, generous panel design and world leading performance systems, including the CAIR® Cushion System, resulting in unprecedented comfort and complete freedom of movement.

Features of the Bates Isabell

Anatomically shaped seat eatures an extremely narrow waist, eliminating any interference and sitting the rider closer to the horse. An extra deep seat gives the feeling of sitting ‘into’ the saddle, rather than ‘on’ the saddle and positions the rider directly over the horse’s centre of balance.

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.

Comfort seat technology utilises multilayered seat foams of varying densities to create the perfect balance of luxurious comfort, whilst maintaining a good feel of the horse.  Rider comfort is paramount for meeting the high demands of serious dressage training and competition.

High performance panel features the CAIR® Cushion System for dynamic cushioning of your horse’s working muscles, eliminating pressure points and evenly distributing your weight over the full bearing surface of the saddle. Even weight distribution promotes blood flow through to the muscles for greater development and increased performance.

Customised support of your individual position through the Adjustable Flexibloc System.

Effortless horse and rider alignment  is achieved through altering the positioning of the Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar, enabling the rider control over their preferred riding position.

Maximised stability and comfort for your horse is achieved through the Adjustable Y-Girthing System that offers the ability to achieve even pull from the front and rear of the saddle. It is critical that this system be adjusted evenly on both sides of the saddle, there are markers sewn on to the Velcro to enable you to assess this more easily.
