Description
The EDIX Union is a high-quality barebacksaddle that offers maximum grip, stability, and comfort for riders who prefer a secure seat. The pad is made from premium brushed cow leather (suede), creating a natural anti-slip surface and a stable feeling while riding.
Designed for riders of all disciplines, from basic flatwork to high-level dressage, the EDIX Union offers exceptional grip, a medium-deep, soft seat, and comes with two sizes of adjustable knee rolls which can be discreetly placed in pockets.
Superior Pressure Distribution & Anatomical Fit
Engineered with a multi-layered pressure-distribution system, the Union conforms to your horse’s anatomy over time. These carefully selected materials ensure even weight distribution, reducing pressure points and enhancing your horse’s comfort. The pad is made of various flexible, high-quality materials which contributes to a correct distribution of the load the rider exerts on the horse's back.
The Union allows for optimal spinal clearance through panels you can strategically place to fit your own horse. Which makes the pad fit both high withered as wide horses really well. Additionally, the deeper soft seat and cantle support rider stability. The adjustable knee rolls give a more secure feeling and help riders maintain a perfect position.
Innovative Stirrup & Girth System
For riders choosing to use stirrups, the stirrup attachment is positioned to distribute the rider’s weight evenly across multiple layers of the pad’s construction. The girthing system distributes pressure over a wider surface area. The 15-inch girth straps are attached to two movable D-rings, which are more than simple attachment points. They allow the straps to swing and adjust their angle as the horse’s body shape changes during movement, rather than creating a completely fixed connection. The movable straps can follow the natural direction of the girth more freely, helping to reduce the forward pulling forces that could otherwise encourage the riding pad to move towards the shoulders.Optimal Grip & Natural Riding Feel
Suede cow leather is known for its excellent grip and provides a very stable seat while riding. The soft, slightly textured surface offers the rider additional hold, making the pad especially suitable for riders who prefer a secure and stable position. This makes suede particularly suitable for riders working with young horses, horses with more movement, or riders who simply prefer extra stability. The material also feels soft and comfortable, making longer rides pleasant for the rider.
Because suede has an open structure, the material can be more sensitive to dirt and moisture than smooth leather. With proper care, however, the material remains attractive and functional for a long time. Regular cleaning with a suede cleaner helps remove dirt and grease, while a suede protector protects the material against moisture and dirt. Occasionally brushing the suede lightly and treating it with a protective spray helps maintain its natural appearance, grip, and durability.
