Bates Isabell Dressage Saddle with CAIR. The deep seat in the Bates Isabell Saddle is unique, positioning you in a central and balanced position that ensures correct alignment is effortless. The Bates Isabell Saddle provides the ultimate connection with your horse through a seamless, ultra narrow transition from your seat through the length of your leg.
The Bates Isabell Saddle has an anatomically shaped seat and an extremely narrow waist, eliminating any interference and sitting you closer to your horse. An extra deep seat gives the feeling of sitting ‘into’ the saddle, rather than ‘on’ the saddle and positions you directly over your horse’s centre of balance. You will feel your leg drops straight on to your horse with no interruption. Comfort seat technology utilises multi-layered seat foams of varying densities to create the perfect balance of luxurious comfort, while maintaining a good feel of your horse.
Effortless horse and rider alignment is achieved through altering the positioning of the Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar, enabling you control over your preferred riding position. Maximise stability and comfort for your horse through the Adjustable Y-Girthing System that offers the ability to achieve even pull from the front and rear of the saddle.
Your horse will show a marked improvement in their freedom of movement, as world leading performance systems the Easy Change Fit Solution and Cair Cushion System offer the greatest flexibility in achieving a customised fit and fluid cushioning ensuring your horse’s absolute comfort and your peace of mind.
All Bates Saddles feature the finest hand selected European leather. You can be confident that the leather in Bates Saddles is the best in the world and, if cared for, will offer many years of excellent service.
Double-lined leather
Select models feature soft milled, double-lined 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 double-lined 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.
Caring for your Bates saddle
Double-lined saddles will require regular dressing to prevent moisture loss and to protect the leather, particularly in high areas of wear. Treated in this manner, your new saddle will achieve the traditional, rich patina of aged, worked leather and you can expect years of excellent service from your saddle.
Leather is a natural product and as such any marks, scars or colour variations within the leather are not a fault and add to the individual character of your Bates saddle.
Proper care is crucial to maximising the performance of your Bates saddle as its life is reliant on maintaining a certain level of moisture in the leather. Your saddle should be regularly cleaned, using glycerin saddle soap and a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt, which may otherwise scratch the surface. Cleaning should always be followed with a rich, wax-based dressing, such as Bates Leather Balsam. We do not recommend the use of oil on your saddle.
PRIOR to riding in your new saddle, it is recommended that you liberally dress your saddle with Bates Leather Balsam, allowing it to soak in overnight. The overnight process ensures maximum
penetration into the leather, helping to seal in the moisture and protect your saddle. Bates Leather Cream can also be used to replenish and rejuvenate the moisture content in your saddle,
however a leather balsam penetrates deeper into the leather and offers a surface barrier, protecting against wear, water and sweat.
Apply your leather balsam or cream heavily in high wear areas, such as the top of the saddle flap where the stirrup leathers will rub. You may apply your dressing to all areas of your saddle including the padded inserts and girth straps. Treated in this manner, you will achieve the traditional, rich patina of aged worked leather and can expect years of excellent service from your saddle.
