Introducing CAIR the revolutionary panel system designed to give your horse the ultimate in comfort.

Bates Australia have spent the last two years developing and testing the CAIR system. The aim was to develop a system that is incorparated into the saddle requiring no adjustment or maintainance, that would allow the saddle to conform to the horse's shape as the muscle works.

As you know the traditional flocking can ride down over time and become unevenly compacted, causing pressure points on the horses back. When this happen the horse tends to stiffen and be unable to move with total comfort and freedom. The CAIR panel system provides and even weight distribution across the maxmum area of the horse's back and will not ride down. It will revolutionise the way the horse feels the weight, virtually eliminating pressure points and therefore discomfort. The CAIR air panels fluidly adjust with the horse's muscle movement and are constantly adapting to the horse's shapeas the back and shoulder muscles work. The extraordinary comfort will result in freer movement. better cariage and therefore a happier horse and rider.

POINTS TO REMEMBER
CAIR air panels hold their shape unlike traditional stuffing which will over time rider down and become unevenly compacted.

CAIR air panels do not require adjustment or special maintainance

CAIR air panels constantly adapt to the horse's shape as the back and shoulder muscles work.

CAIR air panels means that the saddle panel is thinner and therefore the rider will feel closer to their horse.

Combining the CAIR panel system with the easy gullet system allows riders to change the gullet in their saddle to their horse's changing shape, provides the rider with the most technologically advanced saddle in the market.
