The Bates Innova Mono+ Dressage Saddle offers riders and their horses an unrivaled close-contact feel for superior performance. The monoflap design is comfortable against the rider's leg and improves connection and communication while a deep seat also enhances the delivery of aids. A revolutionary FlexiContourbloc (external block) is anatomically contoured and adjustable so every rider can feel secure in the irons. An ergonomic stirrup bar reduces bulk under the rider's leg and can be adjusted to the perfect position for different leg lengths. To support the horse, the Innova features fluid-cushioned panels that eliminate pressure points and distribute the rider's weight over the horse's back. This even distribution improves blood flow through the horse's muscles so they become stronger and can work harder. For an improved fit, quilted panel points offer a more comfortable feel behind the horse's shoulder while the running Y-girthing system enhances saddle stability.

Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar:

The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar allows effortless horse and rider alignment to be achieved by altering the position of the stirrup bar, enabling you complete control over your preferred riding position. The Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar can be easily repositioned by simply lifting the catch and sliding the bar to suit your individual position. The bar should then be secured by pressing down firmly on the catch and locking the bar into place.

Moveable FlexiContourbloc:

Anatomically contoured to your leg allowing you to ride in and behind the knee block to support your position for maximised comfort and security. The FlexiContourbloc can be moved forward, backward, or at a precise angle to mirror your individual riding position. To adjust, simply loosen the screws on the underside, then tighten once you have found your desired position.

Performance Panel:

All Bates saddles feature a generous panel, designed to ensure a large ‘footprint’ on your horse’s back, maximizing the weight-bearing surface of your 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 maximize their movement in the shoulder area.

The CAIR® Cushion System:

The CAIR® Cushion System replaces traditional fillings in your saddle with air cushions. CAIR® air cushion technology provides significant performance advantages in the way it distributes the rider’s weight and cushions the horse’s back.

Distributes the rider’s weight: Under the rider’s weight the air cushions continually mold to mirror the horse’s individual conformation and working muscles. This ensures a close, even contact over a much larger weight-bearing area and eliminates instances of pressure points.

Cushioning the horse’s back: The dynamic nature of air ensures it works in synergy with the horse’s muscles, rather than the horse’s muscles working against a static medium. Additionally, air provides the ultimate shock absorption, reducing instances of trauma to the horse’s muscles in work.

Your horse will show a marked improvement in its freedom of movement, expression, and self-carriage, as the CAIR® Cushion ensures its absolute comfort.

The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution:

Your saddle can be custom-fitted to your horse’s changing shape in minutes! 

The EASY-CHANGE® Fit Solution puts your horse’s comfort first. Enjoy the peace of mind in knowing that your saddle offers full adjustability and is able to meet the changing needs of your horse.
