Engineered to adapt with your horse as they move through their body with total comfort, displaying strength and suppleness through their movements.

Bates SynergyPanel: the ultimate for close contact dressage performance

Exclusive to Bates Saddles.

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.

the back of the seat towards the cantle is significantly wider when compared to traditional Dressage saddles; the tree contains two enlarged membranes, obtained by applying the OTI (“Over Tree Injection”) technological procedure. The blocks are anatomically shaped for the horse. The front girth straps are secured using a heavy duty elastic, while the rear ones determine the balance of the saddle. The panels are shaped in the front to give an unmatched freedom to the shoulders.

Erreplus Connect Monoflap Dressage

The Connect features a completely new tree with a flat profile and longer tree points to ensure greater support and balance of the saddle. This model has been designed and made to fit modern horses with a compact and well-muscled shape and is also warmly recommended for short backs. 

Its soft seat has been designed to guarantee maximum comfort, giving a close contact feeling. With a narrow twist and a seat made of technical polyurethane with a thinned shape, it ensures an incredible feeling of close contact while maintaining great comfort. Also, for this particular model there is only one type of seat, so it will not be possible to choose an open or deep seat.

Another innovation concerns the flaps: made entirely of doubled bull leather, they ensure excellent contact and greater softness. In addition to the different length options, it will be possible to have 3 different projections in a single flap; this adjustment has to be done by our dealers or fitters by changing only one screw in the insertion holes.

The three types of projection will be the following:
- Forward (+ 2cm), to guarantee more freedom to the knee and thigh support 
- Standard, for a more vertical posture 
- Drawback (-2cm) for greater support and knee contact.

The front panels attachment to flaps is in Velcro, this will allow a correct adherence between the two components and will avoid the formation of folds and wrinkles during the various projection changes. 

The Connect has long, ergonomically shaped knee rolls. Composed of a double-density technical material, they provide softness and comfort in the area of contact with the rider’s leg and solid support on the outer surface. 

The panels have a unique shape, completely different from any other model. At the front, its innovative ergonomic shape perfectly fits both muscular backs and pronounced withers, combining in a single panel the freedom of the shoulders of an SL and the support of a traditional panel. Thanks to a larger surface laying on the trapezius area and thinner edges, this panel doesn’t limit the freedom of movement of the shoulders and, at the same time, helps the balance of the saddle. Thanks to panels with gusset will also be possible to request additional flocking not only in the rear area but also in the frontal one, in case of particularly prominent withers or exposed spines.

This model is available only with this type of panel, so it will not be possible to choose it in the standard or SL version

The trees are made from a fibre-reinforced material and the width can be adjusted using a specially designed heat machine. They can usually be adjusted to a couple of centimetres narrower or wider than their manufactured width. This process does require the saddle to be brought in to the workshop.

Developed on our flat dressage tree, the Connect WR Dressage Saddle has some exciting Improvements and innovations: 

A completely new profile rubber seat, specially shaped to provide superb shock absorption for the rider and to maximise the feeling of close contact.

After a year of research and development, the tree points have been completely re-designed by introducing a triangle-shaped side-reinforcement, attached between the tree points and the middle of the tree.  This ensures greater support, stability and balance of the saddle and reduces the pressure from the tree points on the withers and trapezius muscles.
The new-style panels are all thinner compared to those in our other saddle models, and are available in the following three configurations: 
Classic Connect panels:  also available in +1 and +2 behind

Anatomic panels: cut back in the front and regular in length on the back.  Also available in +1 and +2 behind.
Compact panels: for horses with a short back line, cut back in the front and shorter in length on the back.  These panels are really aimed at professional riders.  They are only available in the thin standard and Z version since they are particularly suited to flat backed horses.

The WR Connect has new skirts and flaps, where additional padding has been introduced, to ensure maximum comfort to the rider

The WR Connect is available with the following projections: DD/D/B/F.  They can be adjusted in a second moment, only by our dealers.
Available in mono flap and double flap

- Forward (+ 2cm), to guarantee more freedom to the knee and thigh support 
- Standard
- Drawback (-2cm) for greater support and knee contact.
- Double Drawback (-4cm) for a more vertical position

The trees are made from a fibre-reinforced material and the width can be adjusted using a specially designed heat machine. They can usually be adjusted to a couple of centimetres narrower or wider than their manufactured width. This process does require the saddle to be brought in to the workshop.
