The EDIX Emir has been designed for those riders looking for a comfortable, high quality, allround saddle, suitable for leisure riding, flatwork and some jumping. The saddle is 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.
 
EDIX Emir 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 combination of saddle flaps mounted slightly forwards and English girth straps makes this saddle a perfect combination for those looking for an all-round saddle and dressage riders of a shorter length who will find a great leg contact true the shorter saddle flaps.
 
The EDIX Emir is called a soft-tree saddle because the saddle is much more structured compared to many other treeless saddles, yet the EDIX Emir 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 Emir soft tree GP 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 stabilizing built-in strap and are stitched for an extremely stable saddle position. The EDIX® Emir 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 Emir saddle is easily any 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 (remove the one that does not suit your horse), 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 Emir 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).
 
The saddle can be adjusted perfectly to the rider’s own comfort by choosing the preferred knee roll; short, low or high and the big. A discreet Velcro pocket allows to put the knee support in the perfect position. The EDIX® Emir is available in brown or black leather and in the sizes 17, 17.5 and 18 inch. Custom varieties of this saddle take up to 8 weeks delivery.
