The
rigging of a saddle indicates how it is balanced on the horses back and how
the girth is attached. Changing the rigging position shifts the placement of
the cinch and the amount of pull on the front and rear of the tree. Any saddle
needs to be rigged right to ride and perform correctly. Fabtron saddles use
the following riggings to accomplish this: 7/8 Position, Center Fired, Double
Rigged.
Double
Rigged:
Widely used by professional riders, full double rigging positions the dee ring
directly under the front of the tree while offering the option of using a flank
cinch for a fully rigged cinch of the saddle. Also allows one to use a modified
center fire position. A favorite of trail riders abroad.
7/8
Rigged:
A favorite of barrel racers and all-around riders, 7/8 position rigging sets
the dees back under the stirrup leathers and fenders which positions the saddle
more forward on the horse's withers allowing the rider some good close contact
with the horse.
Center fire
Rigged:
Providing what we believe
to be the best balance of
cinch pressure, the versatile center-fire rigging is the
hands-down favorite of the endurance rider.
