Description
The EDIX Santos western saddle is available as standard in the colors natural/brown or brown and in sizes small, medium and large with pommel M. Adjustments, such as a different size pommel or a different color suede seat, require a delivery time of up to 8 weeks. ask your dealer about the options.
A beautifully hand-decorated, completely treeless saddle, with a sturdy pommel and seat. The EDIX Santos is made of super strong quality Buffalo leather, with a suede seat. The Santos completely treeless Western saddle offers a solid deep seat and optimal freedom of movement for your horse, making the saddle great for enjoying long relaxed rides, as well as for light disciplines of Western riding. Combined with an EDIX saddle seat made from Australian Merino sheepskin for an even more comfortable experience. The D-ring for the girth attachment of the EDIX Equis is attached to built-in PP straps that are mounted in the saddle at the front and back. This connection ensures that the girth force can work together over a larger area of the saddle, because the PP straps are attached to the saddle at the front and back, as opposed to in the middle.
Despite the typical Western cut “square skirt”, the EDIX Santos is not long compared to a traditional Western seat, meaning this saddle is suitable for many horses. The leather and structure of this Western saddle ensure that it is also very suitable for slightly heavier riders. Unlike all other EDIX saddles, the pommel of the EDIX Santos is not interchangeable. A pommel size M is fitted as standard, but other sizes can also be ordered. The pommel and cantle both connect the left and right halves of the saddle, together providing saddle stability and comfort for the rider’s position. The EDIX Santos Western saddle can be combined with the saddlebags and breastplates, for which various D-rings are fitted.
The EDIX Santos treeless Western saddle offers your horse optimal protection for the load exerted on the horse’s back by the special structure, EDIX MPDS, multiple pressure distribution system (see drawing), of pressure-distributing soft flexible layers. At the same time, these soft, flexible layers offer the opportunity to adapt perfectly to the anatomy of the horse and the posture of the rider. An EDIX treeless saddle fully follows the horse’s movements. Partly because of this, the rider learns to perfectly follow the movements of his horse and in this way develops an independent seat. The result is that horse and rider move as one whole and it is from there that ultimate communication is built up. Because the horse is not hindered in its movements, it has the opportunity to develop optimally and we often see an increase in muscle mass. Due to the above, we also see more relaxation in all facets of riding after the adjustment period, both for the horse and the rider.
EDIX advises you to purchase a complete treeless saddle, including stirrups, stirrup leathers and a matching special underlay with coordinated inserts. In the same style as the Santos Western saddle, there are matching Western wide leather fenders in a short or normal length, adjustable by means of. Blevins and leather-covered wooden stirrups. Due to their construction, the special treeless saddle, also known as substructure, supplements the pressure-distributing materials of the treeless saddle, also known as superstructure, of the entire saddle combination. The EDIX underpads are anatomically shaped and equipped with the correct inserts, guaranteeing freedom of movement of the spine. Because the EDIX pads have 8 insert compartments, position-correcting material can be added in the upper insert compartments, allowing you to temporarily improve a saddle position. In addition to the EDIX Uni Merino sheepskin Western pads that fit under the EDIX Santos, a matching Santos felt pad with synthetic fur has been developed in the same line as the saddle. All EDIX pads are specially designed for the EDIX treeless saddles, but also fit many other brands of treeless saddles.
To ensure constant firm fixation, we recommend the use of a fully or partially elastic girth. A durable elasticity that is tailored to the strength of your horse, protecting your saddle against unwanted forces caused by the varying abdominal 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.
Depending on the intensity of use, inserts are subject to wear and tear and should be checked from time to time for remaining resilience. These sets of inserts are available separately.
