An all-purpose saddle featuring the latest in saddle design and technology, the Bates All Purpose SC delivers instantaneous comfort, security and balance.
This saddle features a square cantle and a forward-cut flap that is particularly suited for pleasure riding involving more jumping. Bates All Purpose SC Saddle Black Systems CAIR® Cushion System EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution
Luxurious comfort for your horse with broad bearing area that achieves a large footprint on your horse’s back. The wide and even chamber through the length of the saddle enables generous clearance of your horse’s spine. An open seat, with a square cantle for a comfortable position while jumping. A narrow waist provides closer contact, so you sit into the saddle rather than on the saddle. The Ergonomic stirrup bar enables the roller of the tongue on the buckle to be recessed into the bar and sit flush, which significantly reduces the bulk under your leg, by at least one thickness of leather. The Point and Balance strap girthing system achieves greater strength and durability and improves the distribution of pull from the front and back of the saddle to increase comfort and saddle stability.

This saddle works well on a wide variety of horses due to the changeable gullet plate and CAIR system. The square cantle allows a little more room in the seat and it makes this all-purpose saddle very comfortable for jumping.
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.

This saddle was designed after much demand from our retailers who were familiar with the fit of our Suzannah Dressage saddle. The 1650 GP is an all-purpose saddle constructed on the same tree as the Suzannah with the exception of the stirrup bars being located slightly further forward enabling a more all-purpose riding position. We recommend this saddle for Hacking, Flatwork, Hunting, General Riding, Training and Jumping!
This particular saddle was made on the Tonisha tree, low round cantle everything standard made.
