EDIX SANTOS

SANTOS


Comes with: Saddle Pad, Fenders and oxbows

The EDIX® Santos is made of strong quality Buffalo leather, with a beautiful suede seat in a contrasting colour. With it’s sturdy wooden pommel and cantle, beautifully tooled leather, styled decorations and comfortable seat, the EDIX® Santos has all aspects of a traditional western saddle.
​
The EDIX® Santos is available in the colors natural / brown or brown and in sizes small, medium and large.

​​It's fitted with a pommel size M, but we can arrange a Santos with a different pommel size if required.

In contrast to all other EDIX® models, the wooden pommel of the EDIX® Santos is not interchangeable. A pommel size M is installed as standard. The wooden pommel and cantle both connect the left and right half of the saddle, together they provide stability to the saddle and comfort for the position of the rider. 
​

Despite the typical Western cut-out “square skirt”, the EDIX® Santos is not as long in comparison to a traditional western saddle, which means this saddle is also suitable for shorter backed horses. The leather and structure of this Western saddle ensure that it is also very suitable for slightly heavier riders. 

​The EDIX® Santos as a complete saddle combination consists of a 2-part superstructure of strong Buffalo leather and a substructure of a contoured felt saddle pad, including 3 Mesh inlays.

The nicely tooled leather fenders (adjustable) with a Blevin slide buckle and the leather covered stirrups complete the EDIX® Santos. 

To create an even more luxurious seat, you can combine the Santos with an Australian Merino® sheepskin seatcover. 
​
An EDIX® treeless saddle offers your horse optimum pressure distribution using the special layers of flexible materials: EDIX® MPDS, (multiple pressure distribution system). These soft, flexible layers adapt to the anatomy of the horse, as well as the rider’s posture. An EDIX® treeless saddle optimally reacts to the movements of the horse. Partly due to this, the rider learns to adapt to the horse’s movements and, as such, develops an independent position. As a result, the movements of the horse and rider become one, and from there, excellent communication is created. Because the horse is moving much more freely, it has the possibility to develop optimally, which is often shown by an increase in muscle mass. Due to the above and after the habituation period, both horse and rider, show in all aspect of horse riding more relaxation and more fluid movement. 

The Santos can be combined with the EDIX® saddlebags and breastplate. The FRA® supergirth is optional and its 100% elasticity ensures a rock-solid fixation. 

EDIX® saddles advises you to buy the proposed treeless saddles complete with substructure (special treeless pad). This to achieve optimal pressure distribution. You will find more information in the extensive EDIX® documentation.

The EDIX design is made up of an upper and lower structure:
  • ​The superstructure of the saddle: the seat (the saddle seat) - a leather seat with the first material that distributes pressure: a high density foam of a dense cell structure and a rubber plate of4mm. The underside of the leather seat is finished with synthetic wool.
  • The substructure of the saddle itself, the part on which the saddle seat is located with important components for further pressure distribution. In this part we find separate anatomically shaped and pressure distributing layers, left and right. This separation is the first impetus for the eventual formation of a free spine.

    From the bottom to the top:
    1. Synthetic wool, not separated (fleece);
    2. Separated 16mm thick foam (HD foam) of high density , in some models an additional layer of 6mm felt.
    3. Separated 16mm thick shock-absorbing neoprene;
    4. A nylon strip that connects the girth of the left and right;
    5. A pressure distributing rubber sheet (polymer layer) of 4mm thick
    6. The final finish
    7. The pressure distributing suspension for the fenders/stirrups


This saddle pad of the treeless combination maximizes the final pressure distribution. Here too, we find distributing layers from bottom to top:
  1. The separated under finishing in the seat area made of synthetic or real Merino fur
  2. Quilted cotton fabric , where in the different materials is chosen for foam or felt, with left and right separated, with velcro to open, slide-in pockets.
  3. Pressure distributing material; where for the different courses you can choose for Neoprene, felt and / or the unique 3 Mesh

The EDIX® treeless saddle combinations have high-quality components which together ensure optimization in the pressure distributing properties of the EDIX® saddles.
