Overview
Comfort, contact, and stability combine in the Bates Kimberley HB Saddle- Short Fender! Thoughtfully designed for a close-contact feel, this saddle features a balanced seat for comfort and connection. Short swinging fenders easily sculpt around a rider's leg for a seamless feel with their equine partner, while knee pads provide further security in the saddle. The close-contact felt panel reduces pressure on the horse's back to allow them a full range of movement, while the wide chamber ensures further space around sensitive points. Heritage leather construction creates an enhanced grip for riders while maintaining optimum suppleness.
By utilizing the HART® system to replace traditional saddle fillings with air cushions and an Easy-Change® gullet system that allows you to easily change the tree, your horse will be provided with a custom fit to put their best hoof forward on every ride. With its innovative design and emphasis on comfort and contact, the Kimberley HB is the ultimate option for the adventurous rider!
