In professional sport, every detail matters. Properly fitting equestrian equipment is crucial for maintaining safety, comfort, and convenience while riding. Recently, the new Prestige Italia saddles, equipped with the innovative AS-X saddle tree that follows the horse's movement, have been particularly popular. On April 15, 2024, we had the opportunity to test the new Prestige Italia Rubino jumping model at the Barłomino Equestrian Sports Club. How did the consultations go? Find out in today's article!

AS-X Prestige Italia technology

The new AS-X saddle tree, which follows the horse's movement, is one of the latest innovations introduced to the equestrian market by Prestige Italia . The movable joint in the AS-X saddle tree allows the saddle to fully adapt to the horse's dynamic movement, a major breakthrough in saddlery. This extraordinary technology not only provides exceptional comfort for the horse but also enables better communication between rider and animal, translating into improved riding comfort and training results.

Barłomino Equestrian Sports Club

Barłomino Stables is a sports equestrian club that combines passion with professionalism. The extensive infrastructure at Barłomino Club attracts both experienced riders and those just beginning their equestrian adventure. The stables include beautiful stable buildings, a marquee, an indoor riding arena, three quartz riding areas, fenced paddocks, a training track, and even a tennis court, as well as apartments available for rent.

The consultation regarding the new AS-X Prestige Italia saddles was made possible thanks to the hospitality of JKS Barłomino. We would like to extend our sincere thanks to the stable managers – trainer and rider Martyna Nicpoń, as well as Adam Nicpoń, who is involved in, among other things, professional horse and rider training. Furthermore, this year, Adam Nicpoń and his mare, Cycera, took first place in the Senior category at the Polish Indoor Show Jumping Championships.

Testing the new Prestige Italia saddles at SKJ Barłomino

Our experienced Prestige Italia saddle fitter, Katarzyna Czaprańska, participated in the consultation meeting at the Barłomino Stable. Rubino saddle tests took place on April 15, 2024, providing showjumping riders with the opportunity to try out the new saddle models. This year, we have also planned additional tests of the Brillante dressage saddle – details to follow soon! During the consultation meeting regarding Prestige Italia saddles at the Barłomino Stable, not only did the new models undergo a technical evaluation, but also provided an opportunity for riders and other participants to exchange experiences and opinions.

The atmosphere, saturated with excitement and curiosity, fostered an open discussion about the latest technological solution: the AS-X saddle tree. Riders testing Rubino saddles had the opportunity to experience how the new technology impacts riding comfort and interaction with the horse. Their impressions and observations provided valuable input into a shared reflection on the potential and advantages of the new Prestige Italia saddles . The broad discussions allowed for a comprehensive assessment of the new saddles' capabilities and suitability to various rider needs and preferences.

Adam Nicpoń, an experienced rider and manager of the Barłomino Stables, shared his impressions with us after testing the Rubino AS-X jumping saddle . His initial impressions are extremely promising, emphasizing that the saddle works anatomically with the horse. He also noted that the Rubino AS-X model performs well when jumping both younger and older horses. According to A. Nicpoń, while riding in the Rubino saddle, each horse worked well with its back and wanted to jump softly and beautifully. Adam Nicpoń's positive impressions are a promising sign for all riders seeking an exceptional combination of comfort and performance during jumping training and competitions.

Martyna Nicpoń, also an experienced trainer and competitor, shared her opinion with us after testing the Rubino AS-X jumping saddle . Her initial impressions are very positive – the Rubino saddle is truly pleasant to use. Surprisingly, even though the saddle is new, it holds the rider very well and is a pleasure to sit and jump in. Martyna also noted that the Rubino AS-X saddle fits the horse perfectly, allowing for calf closure and ensuring proper function while riding. Furthermore, Martyna Nicpoń's mare, participating in the test, responded immediately to the saddle. Martyna also noted that the pivoting tree of the Rubino saddle effectively prevents the horse's shoulder from locking in a turn. Furthermore, the saddle works well with more impulsive horses, helping them better understand the rider's messages.
