The revolutionary CAIR Cushion System replaces the traditional fillings in your saddle panel with air. There are two independently sealed air Cushions within each saddle panel. The concept of air, as the ultimate in cushioning for your horse, is simple. Air being a fluid medium will constantly adapt to the horse’s working muscles. This means that your weight will be distributed evenly across the entire length of the cushion, virtually eliminating pressure points.

This extraordinary comfort results in freer movement, better carriage, and a happier horse.

For such a simple concept the dramatic difference the CAIR Cushion System makes to your horse’s comfort and performance is profound.

Poley knee pads

The secure Poley Knee Pads offer support for your seat and leg while you remain comfortable, safe and confident when you and your horse are out exploring the countryside. The Poley Knee Pads support your balanced position while you are free to focus on riding.

Performance Panel

Bates saddles feature a generous panel, designed to ensure a large ‘footprint’ on your horse’s back, maximising the weight bearing surface of the saddle and resulting in a reduction in pressure and increased comfort for your horse. Coupled with a wide and even chamber, the performance panels support your horse’s working muscles and maximise movement in their shoulder area.

Features Heritage Leather

Heritage leather upholds traditional practices in natural oil and wax tannage, highlighting a desirable rich patina, characteristic of only the finest natural leathers. The high oil and wax content of this performance leather enhances your grip with optimal suppleness and a fully natural surface.

The CAIR Cushion System and EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution offer the greatest flexibility in achieving a customised fit and fluid cushioning ensuring your horse’s absolute comfort and your peace of mind.
