The Bates Innova Mono is a premium mono-flap dressage saddle engineered to bring your riding and your horse’s comfort to the elite level. With design features that enhance contact, stability, and communication, this saddle delivers exceptional performance, adaptability, and bio-mechanical support.
For the Rider
Ultra-close contact: Mono flap design for superior feel and connection.
Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar: Customise your leg position and reduce bulk under the thigh.
Deep, open seat: Offers security while allowing freedom of movement.
Moveable FlexiContourbloc: Anatomically shaped external knee block you can position for perfect leg support.
For the Horse
Performance panels: Broad panels for optimal weight distribution and pressure relief.
Quilted panel points: Allow the panel to sit softly and comfortably behind the shoulder.
Running Y-Girthing System: Promotes even pressure and greater saddle stability.
CAIR Cushion System: Fluid air panels adapt with your horse’s movement for continuous comfort and freedom.
The Bates Innova Mono best suits horses with:
Medium to medium-wide withers
Moderate curvature through the back
Balanced toplines with a defined shoulder
Ideal for athletic Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and refined sport horses. Not typically suited to very flat-backed or extremely curvy/high-withered shapes. The EASY-CHANGE Gullet System allows ongoing adjustment as the horse’s shape develops or changes through training.
Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
