Prestige X-D1 K Dressage Saddle 2024

17 inch Medium Black Leather The Prestige X-D1 K Dressage Saddle is an Italian dressage saddle designed to reconcile genuine close contact for the rider with maximum freedom of movement for the horse. Built on Prestige Italia's X-Technology tree, elastic membranes sit at the points where the rider's ischial bones rest, cushioning impact and enhancing stability without compromising feel. The seat is deep with a narrow twist, placing the rider close to the horse in a secure, balanced position. The monoflap design removes the bulk of a traditional double flap, bringing the leg even closer to the horse for a cleaner, more direct aid. The panels are shaved at the front to give maximum freedom to the shoulders, making the X-D1 K a particularly well-suited choice for short, well-muscled horses or those with prominent, active shoulders. V-shaped rear girth straps help to balance the saddle further back on the horse's back. Why riders choose the Prestige X-D1 K: Monoflap design — removes the bulk of a traditional double flap for a closer, more direct connection with the horse X-Technology tree — elastic membranes at the ischial bone points absorb impact and improve rider stability and comfort Deep seat with narrow twist — places the rider in a secure position without restricting the horse's movement Shoulder-free panel design — panels shaved at the front to give maximum freedom to the shoulders, particularly suited to short, muscular horses V-shaped rear girth straps — encourage correct saddle balance and weight distribution along the horse's back Condition Notes This saddle is in very good condition. There is one small scratch on the pommel, no other major scuffs or scratches and minimal wear from stirrup leathers.
