Product Details
The EDIX Tariq was designed in collaboration with Grand Prix rider Gaëtan Bocklandt and meets all the requirements of the modern dressage rider. The EDIX Tariq is made of soft and supple high-quality Turkish calf leather and the soft leather panels are filled with synthetic resilient wool. The wider flared panels and the spacious cushion channel allow freedom for optimal movement of the spine and ensure correct pressure distribution. The high, tight thigh blocks are adjustable. The complete combination consists the dressage saddle, stirrup leathers, a pair of high-quality German steel flex safety stirrups and a beautiful designed Merino lambskin saddle pad.
The EDIX® Tariq is called a soft tree saddle because the saddle is much more structured compared to many other treeless saddles, yet the EDIX Tariq dressage saddle is still technically a treeless saddle due the lack of a solid tree. The EDIX® soft tree saddles are constructed with 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® Tariq soft tree dressage saddle offers the rider a narrower and more balanced seat and still features superb flexibility and spinal clearance for movement of t he horse. The front gussets have a stabilizing built-in strap and are stitched for an extremely stable saddle position.
The EDIX® Tariq saddle is designed as a standalone saddle. The flexible materials but lack of lack of a solid tree allows the saddle to fully adapt to the horse’s anatomy. With increased freedom of movement and correct training your horse will change shape by growth or muscle development throughout the season and years of age. With the exchangeable gullet plate system and the refillable panels the Tariq saddle is easily 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® Tariq is positioned in a more central location of the saddle seat. This is to support correct leg position and helps to reduce pressure on the knees. The Tariq has multiple stirrup hanger positions to accommodate personal preference.
The EDIX® Tariq is available in brown or black leather and in the sizes 16.5, 17, 17.5 and 18 inch. Custom varieties of this saddle take up to 8 weeks delivery time, email els@infinite-equine.ca for custom options.
EDIX® recommends purchasing a treeless saddle as a complete package, including stirrups, stirrup leathers and a matching saddle pad with inlays. In order to ensure constant firm saddle position, we recommend a fully or partial elastic girth for a consistently fixed position. A durable elastic girth tailored to your horse’s strength will save your saddle from undesirable forces that are caused by the varying abdominal circumference of your horse while riding. The elastic of the girth always adjusts itself in length and has the possibility to keep the saddle in place with constant tension. Besides the EDIX® anatomical soft leather padded elastic girth we also offer the fully elastic girth of F.R.A. and the crescent DR girth.
