What Do Our Customers Have to Say?
We asked Victoria why she chose the Bates Artiste, and how the saddle has improved her and her horses overall riding experience!
I’ve owned Gio for 7 years, in that time, he has had 6 different saddles from 6 different brands. The Bates Artiste is the first one that has sat on him, and that has the adjustability to suit both me and Gio. With the wide range of customisable features, I’m able to adjust the saddle year round, as Gio changes shape.
The knee blocks are moveable, which means I can get the best position for my legs. I’m long from my hip to my knee, so being able to move the blocks means I’m not restricted by having my legs too far back, or too far forwards.
The SynergyPanel has also helped to improve Gio’s performance. With Gio, he’s very sensitive, and he likes to be able to feel the rider, and I like to feel what he’s doing. With the SynergyPanel, as he’s growing and changing shape, the panels aren’t going to restrict him. His shoulder movement has definitely improved.
The adjustable ergonomic stirrup bar is also a feature that I love on the Bates Artiste saddle! Similarly to the blocks, the ability to adjust the stirrup bar means I’m able to sit in the best position when riding. It also means that if another rider wanted to ride Gio, I’d be able to adjust the stirrup bar to suit them, too.
