In stock: 17.5" seat, colour Black. Comes with 5 gullet plates included.
 
A beautifully designed complete English soft tree dressage saddle made of soft and supple high-quality Turkish calf leather and soft leather panels filled with synthetic wool. The saddle has a wide cushioned channel for free movement of the spine and correct pressure distribution. The EDIX® Tudor features a luxurious and comfortable mono flap ensuring an optimal leg contact. The nicely hidden pockets for different shaped knee rolls offers the riders its own perfect leg support position, while the knee rolls easily can be changed or different positioned by the strong Velcro attachment.
 
The EDIX® Tudor is called a soft-tree saddle because the saddle is much more structured compared to many other treeless saddles, yet the EDIX Tudor dressage saddle is still technically a treeless saddle due the lack of a solid tree. The EDIX® soft tree saddles are built of different flexible soft shock absorbing layers and synthetic wool filled panels, which fully adapt to the horse’s anatomy and riders’ posture. Due to this construction the EDIX® Tudor soft tree dressage saddle offers the rider a narrower and more balanced seat and still features superb flexibility and spinal clearance for movement of the horse.
 
The front gussets have a stabilising built-in strap and are specially stitched for an extremely stable saddle position. The EDIX® Tudor saddle is designed as a standalone saddle. By the lack of a solid tree the flexible materials allow that the saddle fully adapt to the horse’s anatomy. By growth or muscle development due the increased freedom of movement and correct training, your horse changes shape throughout the season and years of age. With the exchangeable gullet plate system and the refillable panels the Tudor saddle is easily further adaptable. In addition there is an easy way to correct temporary saddle position by using a special treeless 8-pocket saddle pad and inlays tailored to the combination. The EDIX® Y-girthing system, with a base of two front girth straps and a third Y-girth strap, achieves greater strength, durability and improves the distribution of pull from the front and back of the saddle to increase comfort and saddle stability. Distinctive from many other dressage saddles the stirrup bar connection of the EDIX® Tudor is positioned more centrally of the saddle seat. This is to support correct leg position and helps to reduce pressure on the knees.
 
In addition there is an easy way to correct temporary saddle position by using our special treeless 8-pocket saddle pad and inlays tailored to suit your horse (see separate listing).
