Bates Advanta Monoflap Jump 17″ Adjustable CAIR Luxe Leather Saddle – Brown

When jumping over fences, every fraction of an inch counts. The Bates Advanta Monoflap Jump Saddle is engineered specifically for eventers and show jumpers seeking an ultra-close connection, effortless leg stability, and ultimate freedom of movement for their horse. Handcrafted from grippy, ultra-soft Luxe Leather, it features Bates’ signature SweetSpot seat technology—helping you land balanced, recover effortlessly between fences, and stay centered over every jump.

At Best Horse Saddle Shop, our workshop team hand-inspects every pre-owned saddle before listing. This 17″ Bates Advanta is in Grade 4 condition—showing moderate, honest cosmetic wear from regular competition and schooling, but remaining 100% structurally sound and offering riders a massive saving off its original retail price.

Close-Contact Precision & Custom Fitting Technology

The Bates Advanta is built around performance-driven ergonomics for horse and rider alike:

• Monoflap & Synergy Panel Design: Eliminates bulk under your leg for an ultra-close-contact feel, ensuring immediate communication and refined leg aids over fences.

• SweetSpot Technology & Flexiblocs: The seat is sculpted to effortlessly guide your pelvis into a balanced position, while movable Flexibloc thigh and calf blocks allow you to tailor your leg support exactly where you need it.

• Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar: Position the stirrup leather placement forward or back to suit your leg length and jump position, reducing strain on your hip joint.

• CAIR Cushion System: Fluid air cushions continuously adapt to your horse’s flexing back muscles during takeoff, flight, and landing—absorbing impact and preventing pressure points.

• EASY-CHANGE Gullet System: Allows quick width adjustments from Narrow through to Extra-Wide (currently fitted with a Narrow-Medium bar). Swapping widths takes only minutes to accommodate seasonal changes as your horse conditions.
