Engineered for competitive ADVANTAge
Thank you Flo@teamfloeventing, I couldn't have put it better myself!
“The best thing about the Bates Advanta saddle is that I feel so secure! Within 2 days of having the saddle I used it for a British Eventing horse trials and it was amazing. The leather is so soft it felt like it was made to measure. I’ve tried other close contact saddles but this felt like I had so much contact with my pony which made me feel so safe. I love the blocks being on top of the saddle as you don’t get a curved saddle flap. I’ve jumped higher than before just because I feel so secure! My pony moves more freely too, he feels more supple and less restricted. I knew straight away that it was the saddle for me”. Flo @teamfloeventing

The X-D1 Zero model will occupy the top slot for the performance it provide. The saddle offer improved close contact thanks to greater proximity to the horse. At the same time there is greater comfort because the seat is even softer. The result obtained is an appreciable reduction in panel thickness. At the same time stability is ensured and the horse feels comfortable along its back. No change has been made to any of the other technical features.
X – Technology has been able to offer riders the required closeness while fully ensuring due consideration for horses and their wellbeing. With the new version of X-D1 closeness to the horse has been obtained not by resorting to an extreme twist, by lengthening the tree supports, or by shifting the centre gravity rearwards on the seat – all of which solutions can harm the horse – but through deft adjustments to the frames suggested by a close study of human anatomy.
The X-D1 range comes with big blocks, special panels for shoulder freedom, narrower twist and a +2cm forward flap is also available on request. Trapezium Pad included.
Price listed for Calfskin option (X-D1 D), the saddle is also available in Lux Leather (X-D1 Anniversary Lux) and both leathers are available in a monoflap (X-D1 D K and X-D1 K Anniversary Lux), please contact the office to order

X-Prestige Helen The Prestige Helen saddle has been developed for the German champion Helen Langehanenberg. The new tree is deeper than with any other Prestige model and it enables the rider to “sit deep” in the seat but without hampering the horse’s movement. Its elastic membranes, positioned in the area of the ischia, make the seat extremely soft. The panels, too, are new and are made of a honeycomb structure material combined with a soft spongy fabric. These panels, with their anatomical shape, afford the utmost freedom of movement to the muscles of the trapezius. The Prestige Helen is available with the following seat sizes: 16”-17”-18”. The withers channel ranges between 29 and 37.
The X-Prestige Helen is now available also in a single-flap version. The saddle, identified by the initial “K”, will be fully lined with oiled supple calfskin (Version “D”) or lined with “lux” leather. This variety of leather has been tanned applying natural processes, and stands out for a suppleness typical of calfskin combined with the resilience of leather. The anatomically-shaped blocks attached to the panels provide the rider with the best possible support, instantly positioning his or her legs in the right position without, however, restricting their movement.
Technically, the saddle is otherwise unchanged. The ultra-deep tree allows the rider to sink down within the seat, though without hampering his or her movements. X-TECHNOLOGY is still part of the saddle specification. Its elastic membranes, fitted in the region of the ischia, continue to make the seat extremely soft. The panels retain their innovative features as well as the combination of honeycomb-type material and soft terry cloth. Anatomically shaped, these panels ensure the fullest freedom of movement to the muscles of the trapezius. Prestige’s Helen K saddle is remarkable for its exceptional lightness: just 5.35 Kg. It is available in seat sizes 16”-17”- 18” and with a withers channel ranging between 29 and 37.
Price listed for smooth leather option, the X-Prestige Helen is also available in Lux and Calfskin (D) leather. The Lux and Calfskin (D) options are also available in monoflap as the X-Prestige Helen K. Please contact the office for further information, prices and to place an order.

The Fairfax Andrew Hoy XC saddle features a two-part panel that prevents the front of the saddle from being pulled down and in. The main part of the panel bears the rider's weight and the front part under the rider's knee is separated to de-restrict the shoulder girdle muscles. The adjustable blocks under the rider’s knee enables the muscles that activate the shoulder to move freely. They come in two depths that can quickly be adapted to suit the horse. If the horse has an asymmetrical shoulder development, you can use the shallower block on the larger shoulder to enable the rider to sit squarely.
