FlapLock Technology
FlapLock Technology utilizes Velcro patches to lock the saddle flap to the under-flap for total resistance against multi-directional forces. The result? No interference with your action over the jump. FlapLock Technology is robust and ultra-durable, engineered to meet the high demands of professional stables. Replacement patches are available so you can ensure perfect performance at every competition throughout the saddle's life. Girthing can be accessed without the need to release the FlapLock Technology each time.
Bates SynergyPanel
The ultra-close Bates SynergyPanel conforms instantly to each horse's back and then resets completely. No memory. No compaction. No breaking in. Place it on one horse, then another. Fresh, protective contact every time.
SweetSpot
This forward seat was designed for action and assertive riding by drawing you into the center and holding you there through the turn, over the fence, on landing. There is always room for your leg to lock into a perfect position. Instant recovery on landing is assisted with subtle support behind.
Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar
Fine-tune stirrup placement to match your leg, your balance, your ride. Move it forward for a shorter, more aggressive position. Shift it back for length and stability. Once set, it stays to help deliver consistent, repeatable performance round after round.
FlexiBloc System
The movable Flexibloc system lets you position support exactly where you need it or even remove it entirely. Front and rear Flexiblocs adjust to suit your riding style, your position, and your preference. You can even swap for a larger bloc if needed.
Forward Flap
The forward flap gives riders with a longer femur the space they need. You no longer need to size up to accommodate your leg. Select your true seat size and ride with precision. More forward cut for freedom over fences, engineered for the aggressive position elite jumping demands.
Luxe Leather
Luxe Leather is hand-selected from the finest calf-leather in the world and meticulously cared for throughout its specialised tanning process. This will guarantee exceptional performance in strength, richness of colour, ultra-soft feel and level of grip to meet the unique demands of an equestrian saddle. Your new saddle will feel exceptionally grippy and luxurious from day one, providing you with the ultimate in comfort and prestige.
