Bates All Purpose+ with CAIR Saddle The Bates All Purpose+ is a truly high performance general purpose saddle, featuring cutting edge design and technology never previously seen in general purpose saddles. Riders will experience the power of innovation with instantaneous comfort, security and balance, ensuring the most comfortable deep seat for leisure riding, flatwork and some jumping. The Bates All Purpose+ features short billets, three on each side with a point strap and the optional balance fitting. The point strap comes off the tree point of the saddle tree. The balance fitting allows you to move a billet to a 4th location on the right, so you have a billet in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fitting to stabilize the saddle on a flat backed horse or a horse with a rear facing girth grove. The billets are quick change, and do not require a saddler to sew them in.
