Each saddle maker has their way of determining rigging postion, someones 7/8ths could be closer to anothers full or even 3/4s....that being said I'd say most would still be within 1/2inch of each other...hopefully 🤷‍♀️ I find the lowest point of the front bar pad, this is my 'Full' postion, then I draw a line down from the base of the cantle. Half way between those 2 points will be Center Fire. 7/8ths, 3/4 and 5/8ths are

During our saddle fittings, we encounter a variety of rigging styles, but our preferred choice is the 7/8ths rigging. This design allows the saddle to sit more securely and evenly on your horse, creating balanced pressure for both the cinch and the saddle. Recently, Wendy had the privilege of working with an exceptional veterinarian in South Dakota. Together, they examined a horse impacted by a "J-Hook style rigging" and discussed the effects it had on the horse’s comfort and performance. | Burn

Why 7/8 rigging? It’s a question we get a lot—and for Matt Warner, our President of Production and a saddle maker with nearly 20 years of experience, the answer is simple: it works. Every detail in a Burns saddle is intentional. Built to perform. Built to last. Built by folks who ride. Got questions about rigging or fit? We’d love to talk horses with you. | Burns Saddlery

🐴 Tack Tip Tuesday: Understanding 3-Point Rigging I always like to pull inspiration for Tack Tip Tuesday from what’s in the shop — and this Imus 4-Beat Gaited Saddle is a perfect example! This saddle features 3-point rigging, which is designed to distribute pressure more evenly across the entire saddle. Essentially, the rigging forms a large “Y” shape, taking pressure from both the front and rear of the saddle to help stabilize and balance it on the horse’s back. You’ll often notice that 3-poin

This year, we’re adding an extra layer of safety with a swivel shackle 😎 stay tuned for more tips"

🎟️ A 7/8 rigging fits a lot if horses if they have a nice set of withers and are not super wide or super narrow . 🎟️Saddle Position is determined by the tree, NOT the rigging. 🎟️ 7/8 is the most common rigging and is great for elbow room, placement of front and rear cinches , and is versatile . 🎫There are several schools of thought as to how the rigging positions are determined. No matter what procedure or formula is used, the positions will very based on the tree. These variables could incl

Picked up a used saddle and noticed two D-rings under the fender? That’s an older Cowboy Saddle—back when Steve used a 7/8 and 3/4 rigging plate combo. Folks were using it wrong, so we switched things up years ago. ✅ Use the front D-ring ✅ Back cinch should always be tighter than the front ✅ Front cinch? Just snug enough to slip your hand in 25-years-old and the saddle is still going strong! Learn more 👉 http://go.muleman.co/1fsymql | Queen Valley Mule Ranch, Inc

Here is part 2 of our rigging series for Trail Tip Tuesday!In this video we demonstrate how to rig the 3/4 position. This position can be particularly helpful for horses with a lot of shoulder movement, such as gaited horses, or horses with very high withers. The 3/4 position moves the pressure of the saddle farther back than a full position rigging. Stay tuned for part 3 next Tuesday where we’ll cover 7/8 rigging! And you can learn about full position rigging in our reel from last week. #trailr

When your saddle has the 3-way adjustable rigging, it's a great option to disperse the rigging pressure. The key is to rig the saddle the same on both sides so you don't feel offset in the seat. Learn how they rig up at the Martha Josey-Josey Ranch to have a safe ride. #iridecircley | Circle Y Saddles

🦸🏻Checking a saddle with out a pad will help you feel and see how much pad you need to comfortably fit your horse . 🦸🏻 Martin Saddlery has a rigging system that is adjustable which is novel to fit different styles of equine bodies . 💄My choice in placement of rigging is 7/8 or 3/4 . My opinion on a full or Texas full you interfere with fifth the elbow as well as the thoracic sling which leads to unbalance. 🦸🏻Take the guess work out and use products that benefit the horse and rider , that

We get a lot of questions about our saddle trees especially the cable riggings. We use primarily LaPorte trees that are available with or without the cable rigging. They are a poly composite tree with a steel reinforcement. They are lightweight yet tough enough to rope anything you'd want to put a rope on. They are backed by a lifetime warranty which includes the cable rigging. The cable rigging greatly eliminates bulk under your leg as well as helping your saddle pull down on your horse evenly.

✅balance and change when trying to fix to much lift in the back of the saddle. 🥇rigging changed to a 7/8 on this horse ✅changed the cinch length and thickness of pad. 🥇the first saddle was to narrow in the gullet and bar spread to fit so this was a horse we had to change , cinch , pad and saddle . 🕵🏼remember that this is a wider thicker horse . #saddlefitting #teamroping #saddlefitter #education #biomechanics #coaching #fyp #burnssaddlery #openminded #leaddontfollow #fittingclinic #horsemans
