The new Bates Isabell Icon delivers exceptional freedom, perfect balance, effortless alignment and unrivalled connection. Your journey begins here.

Beneath elegant lines, the perfect dressage seat and leading saddle innovations can be tailored perfectly for your ridden biomechanics. When you optimise the saddle for your natural position, your balance and stability are enhanced, you ride in total synergy and your vision comes to life.

Engineered to adapt with your horse as they move through their body with total comfort, displaying strength and suppleness through their movements.

You will immediately notice your connection is accentuated and your horse more intrinsically responsive to your aids.

Wrapping the saddle flaps around your horse, the movable overgirth delivers unrestricted feel of your horse’s body and totally stabilises the supple flap. With enhanced contact you will enjoy a stable lower leg that helps even the most demanding moves appear effortless. Locate the overgirth in the optimal position to lie centrally between your girth points for perfect presentation.


Select the optimal alignment in the saddle to enhance your position for perfect balance. When balance becomes effortless, your strength and precise delivery of aids are also amplified, for ultra-sensitive and responsive connection with your horse.

Achieving an equal distribution of pressure along the length of the saddle tree delivers tremendous stability. When adjusted for an individual horse, this girthing system results in an incredible reduction in ‘white noise’ for your horse and accentuates clear communication between you and your horse. A new streamlined adjuster fitting removes any lumps for perfect seamless contact.

Exclusive to Bates Saddles. Ultra-fine and low profile, this panel sculpts away from your horse’s shoulder and transitions contact seamlessly and gradually on to your horse’s body, freeing their shoulder and achieving optimal space around the wither. The connection between you and your horse is accentuated through channelling your leg with seamless contact to let your horse feel your aids as they have never before. Your horse will instantly respond to the soft cushioning of the CAIR Cushion System, which lets them extend, lift and round to their fullest potential.

Saddle Trial Policy

 Trials: Saddles ordered through the Saddleworld Devonport website or purchased in-store at either Saddleworld Devonport or Saddleworld Launceston, and paid for via credit card or bank transfer with a delivery address within Australia, automatically qualify for the trial period.*

In the rare event that you wish to make a return, to qualify for an exchange or refund you must ensure that the saddle;

  1. Is returned within 7 days of delivery;
  2. Remains unused, with the original ticketing, saddle covers clean and the saddle unmarked. The girth points cannot show signs of excessive wear beyond what a saddle fitting would produce.
  3. Is returned in its original packaging, which must be in the same condition as when received. This includes ensuring that saddles are well-packed in foam/cardboard to protect the item during transit, and any tags or warranty information are with the saddle.

Terms:

  • Return postage to the store location will be the responsibility of the customer.
  • All returned saddles will incur a $100 Trial Fee that will be deducted from the refund before processing.
  • Refunds make take up to 2 business days to be processed on delivery – please allow for at least 5 business days to see the funds return to your account.
  • The trial period commences on the day you receive your parcel, as recorded by the postal company. Or for local customers, on the day you collect the saddle from our store. If for some reason the saddles return is delayed at the fault of the customer, the trial period will be forfeited at the discretion of the Saddleworld Manager
  • The trial period concludes on the 7th day. For example, if a saddle is received on a Monday, it must be returned via post or delivered in person to Saddleworld Devonport or Launceston the following Monday.

*Please note that purchases made through Buy Now Pay Later services (such as Afterpay, Zip Pay, etc.), financed orders, and international orders do not qualify for the trial. Additionally, saddles that have been discounted or discontinued by the manufacturer are exempt from this trial offer.

Saddleworld Devonport and Launceston reserve the right to refuse returns of saddles that have not met these terms, and the saddles return to the customer is that customers responsibility.

FAQs

Can i really return the saddle if i dont like it?

You absolutely can!

Discover the Right Saddle for You and Your Horse - No Strings Attached!

If you're really unsure we always recommend a saddle fit. Contact your local saddle fitter to see if this saddle is in their stocked range. You might be able to save yourself a bit of hassle if they have it available as a demo.

We would never want you to keep the saddle if it wasnt working out for you and your horse. BUT we do have to be very strict with the terms, so please contact us to return the saddle before the 14 day trial period is up.
