The Overton is a saddle specifically designed for jumping activities due to it’s forward cut and large padded knee roll which is staggered to encourage proper leg positioning. The leather flap also features a padded section at the skirt to stop creasing and aid comfort. The under panels are made from a synthetic leather and memory foam core which moulds perfectly to the shape of your horse, but there are also felt slits should you require additional flocking.

A traditional two-flap saddle, specifically designed for the competitive rider looking to achieve a closer connectivity with their horse when jumping. While the rider appreciates the enhanced comfort and luxury afforded by this saddle, the horse benefits from all the research and development that went in to our Performance Products, including multiple girthing options and fitting features.
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.

This modern single flap saddle has been developed in conjunction with top riders to fulfil the need for closeness to the horse but without compromising on fit, and has a close contact panel. The tree has a flat rake cantle for the more open seat, ideal for X-Country and with a free swinging girthing system it allows fitting flexibility.
These saddles are designed for higher wither horses.
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. In addition riders will also be able to choose their preferred style of knee and thigh blocks.

The Roma jump has a modern look with white stitching and white logo on the cantle (tone-on-tone also available). The saddle provides a deep and narrow twist that helps riders, even inexperienced ones, to develop a correct position. The knee pads are designed to keep the rider close to the horse. The anatomically shaped panels guarantee maximum freedom of movement for the trapezius muscles. It is the ideal entry level saddle.
Stylistically accurate jumping and optimal mobility for horse and rider – that’s what you can expect from the close contact jumping saddle Portos. Its newly designed and extremely soft seat, combined with its narrow twist and flat panel with short rib, reduces the distance between horse and rider to the absolutely required minimum. This helps both partners to merge into a perfectly matched unit. The full-grain, soft leather makes sure that the rider feels at ease from the very beginning. The Portos model, however, is not only highly functional but also distinguishes itself by its fanciful elegance. Its decorative stitching is an eye-catcher. This saddle is particularly recommended for those who fancy a supple and aesthetically pleasing light seat.
Features:
An eye catching, modern design, this light weight and close fitting show jump saddle has been designed to maximise range of movement in the back and shoulders whilst providing stability for the rider through optimised block positioning.
