Bates WIDE Dressage+ HART
The Bates WIDE Dressage saddle is designed for a wider horse build that has a round back. Settle down into the deep seat that gives supreme comfort and gives a closer feel between you and your horse. It has a more narrow twist so while your horse is super wide, the seat will still support you, keep you balanced, and leaves you in a centered position.
For your horse, a close contact panel, wide channel, large surface area for weight distribution and adjustable Y-girthing give stability and freedom of movement for a great fit.
Your horse will love the flow and movement they get under teh saddle. They put on a little weight? Easy-Change Fit Gullets area available. Keep your equine partner happy in a Bates!

Calculated Seat Size:
There is a lot of room for personal preference with seat sizing, but as a general rule it is better to error on the side of ordering a seat size that is too large rather than erring on the side of a seat that will be too small.
Things to Consider
- Tucker adds 1/2inch to their seat sizes (due to thick seat padding)
16.5 Tucker = 16 normally
- Barrel riders usually take 1 less on the seat size
16 Trail Rider = 15 Barrel Rider
- Ranch (slick seats) usually ride smaller (1/2inch seat size) so they dont slide around
16 is for most men, 15 for most women
- Trail Saddles with High Cantles (5) make the seat sizes feel smaller
Trail Saddle with 5 cantle will feel smaller in the seat than one with a 3.5 cantle
- English Saddles dont convert exactly but often are 2 bigger
18 English = 16 Western
- Riders with inseams under 30 or 5 tall and under often need custom cut fenders
Tall riders with long legs but lighter weight may need custom cut fenders as well
Checking the Fit
- General Guideline is about 3 fingers between your thigh and the swell.

Extremely good to deal with very helpful. I just cant recommend these guys enough. Considering I am in Australia they were extremely good to deal with very helpful I recommend them 150% saddle was packed well and its beautiful very happy customer 5 start rating hands down.
Incredibly streamlined and easy. I am absolutely blown away by the service horse saddle shop provided me. I am naturally a very indecisive person and incredibly picky when it comes to my gear, so after months of shopping and reading my boyfriend suggested here. He also had a positive experience. I browsed their wide selection of used saddles and there it was, MY saddle. The chat staff was incredibly helpful and my saddle was here 4 days later even with free shipping! The saddle was accurately represented in the photos is far from "used". I'm thrilled, to say the least. Thank you!
After so much searching and being nervous about ordering a saddle online. I picked up the phone and called the Horse Saddle Shop to ask a few questions about a used saddle that was on their website. They were so nice and helpful. I ordered my very lightly used Circle Y saddle and a new saddle pad. It arrived very quickly. Only a few days. I LOVE my new saddle. In great condition and rides great! I would highly recommend using them for your tack needs. I know I will be in the future!
Customer service is amazing! Super quick shipping! My first saddle didn't fit correctly, they helped me find the right fit for both my horse and me, and we love our new Circle Y Kentucky gaited ❤ thank you Horse Saddle Shop!
Amazing and knowledgeable to work with! Best prices and they know their products well. Traded in a saddle and used it as a down payment on a new saddle. Very speedy shipping. Over all VERY happy.
I am so happy with the saddle I just bought as a surprise gift for my partner. He was so happy and loves it. I love the customer service and deals you offer if you wait for them. Thank you Horse Saddle Shop we have 2 saddles from you now and couldn't be happier. I have also bought boots here too and they did not fit, HSS was great with the return.
