EDIX Saddles Adjustable Dropped Y Rigging

The EDIX Saddles adjustable dropped y rigging or circle y rigging, is a very powerful tool for saddle fit, but, to be able to fully take advantage of its capabilities, we need to understand how it works.

The adjustable dropped y rigging adjusts in length (via the buckle at the ring closer to the cantle) as well as sliding toward the pommel or the cantle.

In this video we'll look at adjusting the rigging for a large horse with no girth area concerns but who is very uphill, for a pony with a flat back who is downhill with a slightly forward girth groove, and lastly for a horse who fits like he has a VERY forward girth groove.

The power of the adjustable dropped y rigging is in creating alignment. The closer our cinch, latigo, rigging and our center of balance in the saddle are to being in a straight line and perpendicular to the ground, the more stable and secure our saddle will be and the less likely our system is to cause disproportionate pressure on our horse's body. Proper alignment gives our system the best chance to distribute weight and pressure over all areas and avoid pressure points.
