Description
The great twist of the saddle offers a narrow, comfortable, deep and safe seat. The seat is lined with foam and finished with brushed cowhide leather. The gullet of the saddle can be adjusted by replacing the interchangeable horn. Also in the same style as the saddle, Oakley fenders and leather-covered stirrups.
The saddle itself consists of 2 parts: the upper part – the seating area for the rider, and the lower part – the base of the saddle, which is made up of separate pressure-distributing layers. EDIX MPDS, multiple pressure distribution system (see drawing). These soft, flexible layers adapt to the anatomy of the horse, as well as the build of the rider. An EDIX treeless saddle responds optimally to the horse’s movements. The complete absence of rigid load-bearing parts allows the horse to move freely, especially the muscles of the horse’s back and shoulders, allowing you to refine the communication between you and your horse.
The Oakley is equipped with the EDIX® circle-Y girthing, which distributes the girth pressure over a larger part of the saddle, because the connections are attached to the front and back of the saddle, instead of in the middle. In addition, the position of the girth itself can be adjusted forward or backward. As such, only the weight resulting from the rider’s interaction will be the focus.
EDIX recommends purchasing a treeless saddle as a complete package, including stirrups, stirrup leathers and a matching special treeless saddle pad including supported inserts. Due to their construction, the special treeless saddle pads complement the pressure-distributing materials of treeless saddles. The EDIX pads are anatomically shaped and equipped with the correct inserts to ensure freedom of movement for the spine. Additional pressure and position distribution material can be added if necessary. The position correcting material can be added to the upper pockets so that you can temporarily improve a saddle position. EDIX has various models of Western pads that fit under the Oakley Western saddle. There is a choice between a western pad with a wool base and finished with a synthetic wool, or a foam-based western pad finished with an Australian Merino sheepskin. All EDIX pads are specially designed for the EDIX treeless saddles, but also fit under many other treeless saddles.
To ensure a constant firm fixation, we recommend a fully or partially elastic girth for a constantly fixed position. A durable elasticity that is tailored to the strength of your horse, which will protect your saddle against unwanted forces caused by the varying waist circumference of your horse while riding. The elastic of the girth always adjusts in length and has the ability to keep the saddle in place with constant tension. In addition to the EDIX anatomical soft leather lined elastic girth, we also offer the fully elastic girth from F.R.A. nlays are subject to wear depending on the intensity of use and should be checked from time to time for residual strength. The insert sets are available separately.
