【Excellent Condition】Bates Isabell Icon Dressage Saddle 17 inch

This is the pinnacle model, the Bates Isabell Icon, into which Olympic gold medalist Isabel Werth has poured over 35 years of competitive experience.
It has been used for approximately 1 year, and while there are some scuffs from use, it is in good overall condition.
Currently, purchasing new would cost around 700,000 yen at the local price due to exchange rates, and with shipping and customs duties, it would be close to 800,000 yen even with personal import. Purchasing from a domestic retailer would likely be close to 1,000,000 yen, making this an extremely good value at this price.
Please ask any questions before purchasing if there are any other unclear points.

■ What is the Bates Isabell Icon?
This saddle, packed with Isabel Werth's meticulous attention to detail, maximizes the horse's freedom of movement and clearly transmits the rider's aids.

【Luxe Leather - World's Finest Leather】
Made from the world's highest quality calfskin leather. It offers ultimate comfort with its soft elasticity, exceptional grip, beautiful depth of color, and strength.

【Perfect Seat Design】
Designed for a deep seat with an ultra-narrow waistline. As Isabel says, Sitting in the center of the saddle makes me feel closer to the horse, and with exceptional stability, I can become one with the horse's movement.

【SynergyPanel - Ultimate Close Contact】
Bates' unique ultra-thin panel. It allows for the horse's shoulders to move freely and provides an environment where the horse can extend and elevate to its maximum with the CAIR cushioning system.

【Movable Overgirth】
Stabilizes the saddle flap and improves lower leg stability. Effortlessly handles even demanding movements.

【Adjustable Y-Girthing System】
Distributes pressure evenly across the entire saddle tree, achieving incredible stability. Reduces burden on the horse.

【Adjustable Ergonomic Stirrup Bar】
Adjustable to the optimal position. Achieves perfect balance and precise transmission of aids.

【Adjustable Flexibloc System】
Provides discreet support under the flap. Offers exceptional stability under the soft cushioning.

I love seeing the freedom in my horse's shoulders. I can feel their comfort and suppleness from their expression. Thanks to the saddle's adjustability and CAIR, I've been able to keep many horses comfortable over the years.
