TOP 5 best saddles
1. Prestige Italia Rubino AS-X
The Prestige Italia Rubino AS-X is a jumping saddle that combines classic design with modern technology. This saddle features the innovative AS-X system, which allows the tree to follow the movement of the horse's shoulder blades and provides the best possible fit. The saddle's front blocks are not sewn together, further enhancing the horse's shoulder freedom. This model fits very well on the back, offering noticeable flexibility while riding, which translates into better and more efficient movement.

2. Prestige Italia Brillante AS-X
Another noteworthy model is the Prestige Italia Brillante AS-X . This dressage saddle is not only visually stunning but also highly functional. The front section of the saddle has been designed to minimize its thickness and maximize the feeling of close contact. Thanks to the AS-X system, the saddle fits perfectly to the back, follows the horse's movement, and provides complete freedom of movement. Furthermore, the thickness of the flap under the thigh has been reduced, improving the performance of the seat and communication with the horse.
3. Renaissance F
The Renaissance F is a show jumping saddle that impresses with its classic look, elegant stitching, and modern technological solutions. This model features a tree made of a special type of synthetic fiber, ensuring high durability. Latex padding prevents the saddle from deforming under the influence of temperature. The relatively flat seat and small knee blocks ensure great freedom of movement while riding. One of the key features of this model is its ergonomic design – the panels are very widely spaced, allowing the horse's back to function properly.

4. Prestige Italia X-Optimax
The Prestige Italia X-Optimax is a dressage model distinguished by its advanced technology and innovative solutions. Its seat provides a deep seat and close contact with the horse. The X tree features special membranes that cushion pressure on the gluteal and pubic bones. This allows the saddle to remain comfortable despite a deep seat. The Prestige Italia X-Optimax is the perfect choice for those seeking a top-quality saddle.
