From the classic Bates dressage saddle, to the lightweight close-contact jumping saddle, the Bates Kimberly Half Breed, or the all-purpose saddle that adapts to your horse’s movement. Bates Saddles are designed with the welfare of your horse as the top priority. Each Bates saddle incorporates advanced technology to optimise fit, enhance comfort, and provide a significant performance advantage. Features like the CAIR Cushion System and the EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution enable a completely customisable saddle experience, so that your horse can move freely and comfortably, in every discipline.
Collaborating with elite riders, saddle fitters, and veterinarians, and as an official partner to a multitude of international equestrian leagues, Bates saddles are crafted to adapt seamlessly to various disciplines.

Bates saddles are regarded as being in a league of their own, and at EQ Saddlery we proudly showcase an extensive selection of Bates saddles, along with a mix of international brands and products. Pair your premium Bates saddle with high-quality bridles, girths, and stirrup leathers from our collection to complete your riding setup, and find everything you need to care for your horse, from grooming products and feed to stable equipment. Our team of experienced riders is always on hand to help for expert advice, so visit our stores to experience the Bates range today.
Bates Saddles are purposely designed with adjustability in mind, making them one of the most adaptable saddle brands in the world. The Bates EASY-CHANGE Fit Solution enables riders to adjust the saddle's gullet width and flocking to accommodate changes in their horse’s shape over time. But it’s important to consider that no single saddle fits every horse, so be sure to consult with our expert EQ Saddlery team for the best possible solution.
