One of my favorite things about being able to sell EDIX's impressive line of tack is their great selection of children's saddles.
Most children's saddles don't place the young rider in a proper balanced equitation position, making it difficult for them to develop a solid seat. Most children's saddles aren't made to fit a horse very well - they tend to be "one size fits all", meaning they rarely fit any horse quite right.
When my daughters learned to ride, I was able to find them an ancient, worn-to-the-bone Stubben Rex (a Classic!) that I patched up to make it safe, at least. Those haven't been made for decades, and there's not much out there to fill that void.
The EDIX children's saddles are available in seat sizes 14" and 15" (and 16" and up in the adult range). They are made with the same materials and designs as the adult saddles, with flocked panels, premium leather, adjustable gullet-plates, and EDIX's wonderful Soft-Tree (reinforced leather-tree). The Soft-Tree will flex and move with your horse, and gradually shape to your horse, yet is classified as a treed saddle, so is allowed in all show and competitive classes, even those that prohibit treeless saddles.
This 16" Emir A/P saddle arrived today. I adjusted the flocking and gullet-plate to fit a young rider's stunning mare, and it is heading straight out to a growing young rider just in time for the season's Hunt-seat shows.
Please excuse the non-glam utilitarian photo. On nice days, I set up my workbench out on my deck to take advantage of daylight, so this photo is taken in my "outdoor workshop", which I love so much (I used to work in a cleanroom and cubicle in the semi-conductor industry. I still get really excited when I realize that this is my job now . )
