Saddle Rigging Positions
On a Western saddle, rigging positions are commonly referred to as “full,” “7/8,” and more. Here is a quick breakdown of what those common rigging positions mean.
Full Rigging: The front cinch position is the full distance from the cantle to the pommel. This puts the front cinch directly beneath the pommel of the saddle.
7/8 Rigging: The front cinch position is 7/8 of the distance from the cantle to the pommel. This puts the front cinch a little farther back than a full rigged saddle.
3/4 Rigging: The front cinch position is 3/4 of the distance from the cantle to the pommel. This puts the front cinch a little farther back than a 7/8 rigged saddle.
Center Fire Rigging: The front cinch position is (approximately) centered between the cantle and the pommel.
More Rigging Terms
Single Rigged: This means there is a front cinch, but not a back cinch (sometimes called a “flank cinch”). The term “single rigged,” by itself, does not let you know the position of the front cinch (full, 7/8, etc.).
Double Rigged: This means there is a front cinch and a back cinch. The term “double rigged,” by itself, does not let you know the position of the front cinch (full, 7/8, etc.).
Full Double Rigged: This means there is a front cinch and a back cinch, and that the front cinch is in the “full” rigged position (the full distance from the cantle to the pommel).
