Description
The EDIX® Alydar is a stylish and versatile soft tree jumping saddle, specially designed for riders seeking balance, comfort, and close contact with their horse. Whether you’re training for show jumping competitions, riding for pleasure, or gymnasticizing your horse in the arena, the Alydar supports both rider and horse in every movement.
Construction
The EDIX Alydar is built on a flexible soft tree, an internal three-part base consisting of a fibre 3-point headplate, a fibre cantle, and a connection made from thick yet supple leather. This leather tree is layered with multiple shock-absorbing and flexible materials.
While technically still treeless, as there is no rigid, solid tree, the Alydar offers more structure than traditional treeless saddles. This allows the saddle to mold to the horse’s anatomy while distributing pressure evenly.
The interchangeable gullet system provides ample wither clearance and makes it easy to adjust the saddle as the horse’s body develops. The front girth straps are attached directly to the panels for an optimal saddle position. The EDIX Y-girthing system, with one front strap and two rear Y-straps, offers various girthing options for a stable and balanced fit.
The knee and calf blocks can be positioned entirely to the rider’s preference with Velcro underneath the flap. By choosing from small, large, or short blocks, the rider can customize support according to their riding style.

Availability
The EDIX® Alydar saddle is available in black or brown leather, in sizes XXS-16", XS-16.5", S-17", M-17.5", and L-18". Your EDIX dealer will be happy to help you create the perfect combination.
For optimum stability while riding, EDIX recommends a 3-part anatomical girth or crescent girth. These girths move with the horse’s breathing and movement, ensure even pressure distribution, and relieve the chest muscles.
We also recommend using the saddle with an EDIX 8-pocket pad. This allows precise adjustment of pressure distribution and balance thanks to the option of adding shims.
