The Bates WIDE All Purpose saddle is designed specifically for horses with wide, broad backs. The deep seat and narrow twist allow you to sit 'in' rather than 'on' the saddle for greater balance and connection. The CAIR panels are generously cut to distribute weight over a broader area. An adjustable Y-girthing system allows you to maximize saddle stability. Featuring Heritage leather for a supple feel and traditional style. Note: this saddle is compatible with the EASY-CHANGE Gullet System WIDE, with sizes from 1XW-4XW. The Bates WIDE All Purpose saddle is a great choice for leisure and multi-discipline riders with horses with wide, broad backs.
