Buy Martin Adjustable Rigging Performance online

Master every maneuver with the Martin Adjustable Rigging Performance Saddle, the industry’s most versatile tool for the serious reining and cow horse competitor. Engineered in collaboration with NRCHA Million Dollar Rider Todd Bergen, this saddle is designed to solve the most common performance hurdle: poor saddle fit. While traditional fixed-rigging saddles often “crawl” or create pressure points, the Martin Performance allows you to customize the cinch position to your horse’s unique anatomy, ensuring total stability during high-torque stops and turns.

Cinch placement for Martin Adjustable Rigging Performance

Unrivaled Fit and Stability The heart of this saddle is the patented Adjustable Rigging system. This innovation allows for multiple rigging positions, making it the perfect choice for riders with multiple horses or those with hard-to-fit athletes. By shifting the pull of the cinch, you can eliminate bridging and ensure the bars of the tree maintain even contact across the horse’s back. This increased comfort translates directly to higher scores, as your horse is free to move its shoulders and loin without restriction.

The Todd Bergen Advantage Beyond the rigging, the Performance model features a narrow ground seat and a centered “pocket” that helps you stay in an athletic position without effort. The signature SPRS (Stirrup Positioning Rig Slot) ensures your legs stay underneath you, preventing the “chair seat” that plagues many performance riders. Crafted from world-class Hermann Oak leather and featuring a high-density wool fleece, this Martin original is built to endure the rigors of a professional training program. Stop fighting your equipment and start riding with the precision that only a Martin Adjustable Rigging Performance saddle can provide.

Adjustable Rigging Adjustment Guide

•  Match Rigging to Conformation

• High Withers: Use the Rear-Most Slot to keep pressure off the withers.

• Round/Flat Backs: Use the Forward Slot to prevent the saddle from sliding back.
• Standard Build: Use the Center Position for even pressure distribution.
•  Check Elbow Clearance
• Ensure one hand’s width between the cinch and the horse’s elbow. If it’s too close, move the rigging toward the rear.
•  Eliminate “Saddle Crawl”
• • If the saddle slides forward during stops, shift the latigo to a rearward position on the plate to anchor it against the horse’s barrel.
