Why choose a Bates Artiste adjustable black dressage saddle?

The adjustable features make this saddle a practical option for riders looking for choice in the gullet, panel and block arrangement. The gullet system allows the preferred bar size to be selected from N–XW, while the adjustable CAIR panels provide further adjustment within the saddle’s design. Its single-flap construction, point straps and adjustable stirrup bars are useful details to consider when comparing dressage saddles.

The 17 and 17.5 inch seat options give you a choice of rider size, although the correct saddle should always be assessed for the horse and rider together. Professional saddle fitting may be appropriate before purchase or use, particularly when considering the gullet and panel adjustments. Please contact Ben Griffiths Saddles if you would like further information about the available seat size or adjustment options.
