BATES ISABELL CAIR DRESSAGE

Bates Australia is one of the most respected designers and manufacturers of riding and racing saddles and equipment in the world. Isabell Werth, Germany's World Dressage Champion and her trainer Dr Uwe Schulten Baumer  worked with Ron and Ken Bates of Bates Australia to develop a radically different Dressage saddle. In Isabell's opinion "a saddle has to sit as close to the horse as possible to get optimal influence from the rider. To sit deep into the horse is very important. A saddle must support the rider, not hinder the riding position." Bates Australia hastaken this on board to produce a saddle Isabell herself describes as "Brilliant". Featuring: - Luxurious Austrian Doublegrain Leather. Soft, thick doublegrain leather cushioning the rider and providing supple flaps which conform to your horse's shape. - Extra Deep seat and a Low Thin Waist: Positions you close to the horse and enables you to easily transmit aids. - Newly Positioned Stirrup Bars: Up to 5cm (2") further back than your standard bar to effortlessly balance you in ear, hip and heel alignment. - Soft Sorbtec Knee Inserts: Mould to your knee's shape and hold this mould rather than springing back instantly. - Easy Change Gullet System: This system allows you to alter the width of your saddle to custom fit the shape of the horse's wither creating ideal clearance and perfect balance. - Long Even Panel with Quilted Points: Ensures your horse feels comfortable, relaxed and has free shoulder movement. - Cair Panel System: Cair is a revolutionary new air panel system that replaces traditional flocking with air filled panels. They allow even distribution of weight across the entire length of the panel, virtually eliminating pressure points and maximising the bearing area on the horse's back. Cair panels fluidly adjust with the horse's muscle movement. - Fully Adjustable Flexibloc System: A moveable bloc under the flaps allows you to custom fit your thigh and knee support to your individual liking.The Isabell saddle comes with a set of regular and large dressage blocs. There is a lifetime guarantee offered on the Bates Isabell Tree.  Colours: Black and Brown. Sizes: 16.5", 17", 17.5" and 18". Fits: Easy-Change Gullet system.
