Bates advanta

[Mary jones]

Does anyone have experience with these saddles good or bad?
also wondered if anyone has experience having them fitted, as I’m interested in getting one second hand then having it fitted if possible.

Not the avanta but my saddles are bates. One bought from saddler and fitted there, the other one is old and was gifted to me and fitted to the horse afterwards. They’ve never needed much adjustment other than gullet size tbh, I think the shape of them suits my horse fairly well.

I had an advanta, loved it but horse never went as well as he could have. I found it was good to fit, very adjustable and on paper fit the horse great but for him it was like skin tight jeans. Fine for looking good but not so practical for physical activity!

Beautiful saddles!

I know lots of people who have them and love them!
Just make sure you find someone to fit it that is experienced with the Easy-Change system

Yes, I’ve got one and I LOVE it! I’m thinking of getting another. It fit my boy like a glove off the rack.
