Choosing a Bates AP+ 17.5 adjustable brown saddle

The adjustable gullet system is a key consideration when assessing this Bates GP saddle, as the appropriate bar size will need to be selected. The adjustable front blocks, stirrup bars and girthing system offer further configuration options. Riders should check that the 17.5-inch seat is suitable for their requirements before purchasing.

As with any used saddle, condition and suitability should be assessed carefully. A professional saddle fitting may be appropriate to evaluate the saddle in relation to the horse and rider. An adjustable feature does not remove the need for an individual fit assessment.
