When riding feels like floating on a cloud! The EDIX Signor is a premium quality finished anatomically shaped bareback pad made with original Merino lambskin. A ride in this bareback pad is a super comfy experience for the rider as well as for the horse. Equipped with a pocket on each side of the saddle pad to bring some goodies for your trail ride. Plus several D-rings to connect a breastplate or a small saddle bag.
 
The leather handle on the front offers an easy way to transport your pad from your horse to the stable or your car. The lambskin is anti-bacterial, therapeutic, regulates heat and moisture, improves pressure distribution and prevents abrasion. The complete absence of rigid load-bearing parts in the EDIX BBP Signor allows the horse the move freely, especially the muscles of the horse's back and shoulders. This enables refined communication between you and your horse.
 
The pad is made of a base of steady and strong foam quilted cotton, with an in the seat and abrasive part area an underside and a detachable through zippers, seat of high-quality genuine Merino® sheepskin. As a rider you will find support and comfort with the high thigh blocks and cantle of steady but flexible foam. On both sides of the spine there are 2 large pockets, which can be opened at the front of the pad by loosening the Velcro. Each pocket offers two compartments where a felt inlay and a 3 mesh inlay is housed. Of course, a different type of insert can be chosen as required. Equipped with both inserts and combined with an optimally balanced position for the rider, an excellent pressure distribution is realised.
 
Where a rider chooses to use the stirrups during a ride, always beware of the intensity of use and check your horse and inlays after each ride for comfort and wear and tear. The stirrup attachment is made upon the position where the inlays are positioned in the pad. So the weight the rider is adding to the stirrups is spread over the several layers this pad has been built off. The natural Merino sheepskin with its 30 mm wool fibres, effectively wicks perspiration away from the horse and also ensures concussion from the rider is absorbed.
 
The Signor is fitted with D-rings, to connect the girth billets, which are connected to the PP Y girthing, providing the girth force to interact across a larger area of the barebackpad, as the PP strap are fastened towards the front and the back as opposed to in the middle. Where the rider's leg can rub while riding, a leather reinforcement is provided to prevent wear.
 
High-quality Merino wool is technically still one of the most advanced natural materials in the world. Because the complete fur lambskin is used instead of shaved and woven wool, the benefits of this natural material are optimally exploited. That is why we recommend that you use the barebackpad directly on the horse's back without adding a cottons saddlepad!!
 
The BBP Signor has, as all other EDIX merino saddlepads, a free spinal canal of short shaved fur, developed in a way to reduce pressure points and to provide optimal protection for your horse's spine. For maintenance and washing instructions of the EDIX Merino fur skin mats, please refer to the EDIX fur information brochure on the Edix saddle page.
