The EDIX® Oakley a fully treeless Western saddle made by hand of original Argentina Cowhide leather with a beautiful tooling and refined classical appearance. Offering comfort for the rider, as well as for the horse. Use the saddle for long trail rides, Western riding, or other disciplines . The great twist of the saddle offers a narrow , comfortable deep and secure seat. The seat is foam padded and finished with a brushed cow leather. The gullet of the saddle can be adjusted by changing the exchangeable pommel. In the same style as the saddle there are Oakley fenders and leather covered stirrups.

The saddle itself, consists of 2 parts: the upper part - the seating area for the rider, and the lower part - the base of the saddle, which is built up with separate pressure distributing layers. EDIX® MPDS, multiple pressure distribution system (see drawing). 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. The complete absence of rigid load-bearing parts allows the horse the move freely, especially the muscles of the horse's back and shoulders and at the same time refine the communication between you and your horse.

The Oakley is fitted with the EDIX® circle-girthing with allows the girth force to interact across a larger area of the saddle, as the connections are fastened at the front and the back of the saddle, as opposed to in the middle. Furthermore, this EDIX® circle-girthing makes it possible to adjust the position of the girth itself, so depending on your horse the position van be more forward or backward.

EDIX® recommends purchasing a treeless saddle as a complete package, including stirrups, stirrup leathers and a matching special treeless saddle pad including inlays. The special treeless saddle pads are through their construction an addition on the pressure distributing materials of treeless saddles. The EDIX® pads are anatomically shaped and equipped with the correct inlays ensure freedom of movement for the spine. If required, additional pressure and position distributing material can be added. The position-correcting material can be added in the upper insert compartments, so that you can temporarily improve a saddle position. EDIX® has various models of pads that fit under the Oakley Western saddle. There is a choice between saddle pads with a wool base and finished with a synthetic wool, or a foam based saddle pad finished with an Australian Merino sheepskin. All EDIX pads are specially designed for the EDIX treeless saddles, but also fit under many other treeless saddles. In order to ensure constant firm fixation, we recommend a fully or partly elastic girth for a consistently fixed position. A durable elasticity tailored to your horse’s strength, which 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. inlays are subject to wear and tear depending on the intensity of use and need to be checked from time to time for the residual force. These sets of inlays are separately available.
