Description
The EDIX Zyba is a classically styled, technically advanced dressage saddle, built on a flexible tree developed by EDIX.
Construction
The EDIX Zyba is built on a flexible tree made of PBP (Plastic Blended Polymer), a strong yet lightweight synthetic material that provides both lateral and diagonal flexibility while maintaining stability. The saddle is finished with premium leather and features a monoflap design for close contact with the horse. The wide gullet channel and dropped, wool-filled panels ensure even pressure distribution and allow free movement of the spine.
The velcro knee blocks are adjustable and can be positioned within the skirt pockets according to the rider’s preference. The standard panels are flocked with synthetic wool but can optionally be supplied with 100% natural sheep wool. All panels are designed to be modified or replaced by an EDIX saddle fitter. If the horse changes shape due to training, growth, or age and the original panels no longer fit, they can easily be replaced with new ones, ensuring continued optimal fit. Additionally, the Zyba features an interchangeable gullet system, allowing small changes in the horse's conformation to be easily accommodated.

Availability

Due to its versatile adaptability, EDIX recommends purchasing this saddle in consultation with a certified EDIX dealer or saddle fitter. They can advise you on the most suitable panels for your horse’s conformation and the ideal shape and placement of the knee blocks for your seat. The dealer also checks the final fit and stability of the saddle. For optimal stability during riding, EDIX recommends using an anatomical or crescent-shaped partially elastic girth. These triple-elasticated girths move with the horse’s breathing and motion, provide even pressure distribution, and relieve the chest muscles and girth straps. We also recommend using an EDIX 8-pocket pad, which allows for precise adjustment of the saddle’s pressure distribution and balance.
