Bates Event Saddle 17.5" With 'FLAIR' Your choice of MED / MED WIDE OR WIDE GULLET Bought this saddle brand new in 2005, and I had it fitted with the "Flair" 'ride on air 'system in 2007 by WOW saddles, which cost me £250 . It is infinately adjustable as the flair can be pumped up or down by any Flair qualified saddler fitter. The EASY CHANGE Gullet system allows you to custom fit the saddle to your horses changing shape. It has a narrow waist through the seat, a must for cross country. The Adjustable Flexiblock system allows you to tailor your thigh and knee support. The Pure Aniline finished leather offers a luxourious soft and supple feel. It has only been used for 2 years as I had an injury last year and have now given up jumping. It has taken me a year to bring myself to sell my saddle! The saddle has been kept in a damp free environment and cleaned with good quality products. It is in excellent condition. Comes with Original bates cover. A superb saddle designed for high performance in tough competition.
