After extensive research and consultation with SMS qualified saddle fitters, physiotherapists and a variety of equestrian establishments involving various disciplines, our design team have developed a new panel and flap concept. The Future saddle has been 2 years in the making and we believe this saddle will enable riders to push their boundaries - jump higher, gallop faster, perform better. The revolutionary new design of the Future saddle will increase freedom of movement of the horse's shoulder as it rotates; this will enable the horse to lengthen its stride with minimal interference from the saddle. Traditionally, the cut (leg) of the panel used on most Jump, GP’s and Event saddles follows the line of the top flap however; the panel at the front of the Future saddle has been cut away so that it can sit comfortably behind the shoulder enabling the horse to move freely. This concept has been tried before and failed due to the front flap (knee roll) collapsing where the supporting panel had been removed. The Future Saddle overcomes this by reinforcing the flap with a stiff plastic at the front that prevents the flap collapsing.
This will not affect the rider as the design of the flap has remained largely unchanged; this is possible because we have reinforced the flap at the front to provide essential balance and stability for the rider’s leg. The reinforced section of the flap will also prevent it from collapsing against the horse’s shoulder and interfering with movement. To accommodate the growing number of taller riders with a longer ‘hip to heel’ measurement we have increased the length of the flap.
The new GG Extra was developed in cooperation with master rider and Passier partner Ingrid Klimke. The new, modern look turns this popular model into a new highlight. The comfortable deep seat, the anatomical thigh supports and the soft knee inserts with the convenient quilting enable direct contact with the horse. The design inset with alternative stirrup strap lead makes this saddle a true eye-catcher! The freedom panels ensure an optimum fit to the horse's back. Team Klimke – now also in the dressage arena powered by Passier!
The new Excellence Cross Country and Jumping Saddle was developed in cooperation with master rider and Passier partner Ingrid Klimke. The perfect combination of modern look, ultimate comfort and uncompromising horse-friendliness convinces immediately. The wide, soft saddle tree offers the rider plenty of room when riding cross-country and also on the jumping course. The narrow twist enables the rider to have direct contact with the horse. The skirt, which is softly doubled with Selloil Leather and the soft knee inserts and the sporty calf blocks on top of the flap ensure perfect hold. The freedom panels with flat gusseted panel and a gusseted panel at the front make for a smooth fit on the horse's back. Simply excellent!
Ideal for the more Thoroughbred-type horse with a higher wither, this saddle features a deeper seat and superb comfort. Smooth Black.

Joining forces with elite showjumpers, Bates Saddles pioneered the world’s first truly close contact jump saddle that is focused on both horse and rider performance.
This saddle achieves unprecedented close contact, perfect balance and stability for the rider. For the horse, it features an anatomic tree that reduces any inclination for the saddle to lift, offers a completely customisable fit and the leading panel system for unparalleled impact absorption and comfort.
The deep seat Elevation model offers greater security and support for increased confidence and the added performance advantage of double lined Opulence leather, renowned for its ultra soft and grippy characteristics increasing rider feel and comfort.
High performance seat is shaped to maintain breadth behind your seat ensuring comfortable landings, whilst thinning it right down where your leg drops on to the horse, so that the transition is ultra narrow and seamless. The precise cantle angle encourages you to find your central position with ease.
An anatomically shaped tree enables greater comfort and room for the horse’s shoulder, while retaining a close contact feel for the rider. It reduces the occurrence of lifting at the back, which is often accepted with jumping saddles.
