"When I first took the Bates Advanta Test-ride Challenge, I was sceptical that a saddle could make SO much difference. I’m a typical eventer, afraid to try anything different and stuck in my ways, as we all are."

"I genuinely couldn’t believe the improvement in my horses since using the Bates Advanta eventing saddle and the Bates Innova Mono+ dressage saddle. These saddles sit on my horses so perfectly and enables them to move freely through every part of their body, improving the overall top line and muscle mass."

"The team at Bates also do everything they can to help and ensure the saddle fits correctly. Making it much easier to get the best possible performance out of my horses. I wouldn’t want to use anything else now."
