BATES - Dressage Saddle Artiste Black

Dressage Saddle Artiste

Black

"Be as one" is the philosophy behind the Bates Artiste : delivering a natural position and a connection so refined, it’s as if the saddle disappears, allowing the rider to focus fully on the pure expression of dressage.

Technical Features

• SynergyPanel : A low-profile, contoured panel offering ultra-close contact, shock absorption, and optimal blood flow for the horse’s comfort.
• SweetSpot : An ergonomic seat that naturally aligns the rider’s position, providing a stable base for precise connection and support.
• Monoflap Design : A slim, streamlined flap that “disappears” under the rider, allowing for direct communication and a closer feel to the horse.
• Moveable FlexiContourbloc : Anatomically shaped knee blocks that can be adjusted forward, back, and in angle, enabling riders to find the ideal leg support without restriction.
• Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar : Easily repositionable stirrup bars that help the rider achieve optimal alignment, balance, and comfort.
• EASY‑CHANGE Fit Solution : An interchangeable gullet system with adjustable risers to adapt as the horse’s shape changes, ensuring a consistently tailored fit.
• Luxe Leather : Premium calf leather that’s grippy, supple, and built to last, available in classic black or brown depending on region and availability.
