Italy is the land of beauty and excellence and we are Italian. Therefore, we have a natural predisposition for aesthetic taste, we know how much attention it takes to obtain a eliable product and we are the keepers of that craftsmanship which has been passed down from one generation to the next. You just need to look at a Prestige saddle to admire its outstanding work, technological research and stylistic precision. In a nutshell, to appreciate its quality: that quality that makes us proud to represent our country, but that is also the best guarantee for our customers.
Nowadays, the name Prestige immediately evokes innovative horse saddles, however when we established our business back in 1974, our brand name was Appaloosa and everything started thanks to the passion for the equestrian world of the Stocchetti-Rasia family. At that time, the most renowned saddle-makers were from Germany, and Italy had no tradition: we challenged the already consolidated manufacturing techniques to make unique and outstanding saddles, which could enhance the well-being of both the rider, but most of all of the horse.
The X-Perience saddle is an evolution of the previous model and maintains both the qualities and the feeling that distinguished the previuous model. The saddle features a wide base of the rear of the seat and new injected membranes in the unisex- tree, designed to support the anatomy of both sexes. These improvements make the saddle extraordinary comfortable.
The seat is offered in two depths: MD (medium deep), ideal for those seeking a more centered position, and MF (medium flat), designed for riders who prefer greater freedom of movement. The design of the blocks, which aren’t stitched at the front, allows the sweatflaps to flex and the panels to follow the horse’s shoulders without restricting its movement.
The X-Perience saddle adapts to any horse morphology and meets the rider’s needs with five different panel versions, including 3 LPF versions (integrated, non- integrated and FSF applied) and 2 latex versions (integrated and non- integrated). All panels have a wide surface, ensuring better weight distribution. On request, it is possible to have ‘comfort skirts’ – lined skirts made of soft leather and Cordura – to increase the close- contact between horse and rider, further improving comfort.

Paris is the new jumping saddle from the Smart Line, designed to offer complete customization and meet the specific needs of both horse and rider. Starting from a single model, it is possible to combine a range of options to achieve a truly bespoke configuration.
The saddle tree features a flat profile with a rounded front section, and is available in two versions: standard, or with the innovative X-Technology, which has rear membranes beneath the seat bones for enhanced shock absorption.
The seat is offered in two depths: MD (medium deep), ideal for those seeking a more centered position, and MF (medium flat), designed for riders who prefer greater freedom of movement. A distinctive feature of the new Paris saddle is the high level of customization available for the panels: five options are offered to suit different back conformations, including LPF flocked (non-integrated or integrated), Classic flocked (nonintegrated or integrated), and non-integrated Latex.
The knee blocks are also customizable, with various fixed options available or the choice of Velcro blocks for adjustable support tailored to the rider’s preferences. The saddle is available in a selection of high-quality leathers, designed to balance aesthetics, comfort, and durability. Options include Lux leather, a premium double oiled leather that is durable and offers good grip; bovine leather, soft and grippy from the very first use; and hard leather, robust and ideal for intensive, long-lasting use. Further personalization is possible with a variety of color combinations for the pipings and stitchings, allowing for a distinctive and coordinated final look. The new Paris saddle is the natural evolution of the previous double-flap models (X-Paris, Paris Classic, and Paris) integrating their technical features and strengths into a single model, now enhanced with new customization possibilities not previously available.
This saddle is a perfect choice for both professional riders and amateurs who wish to improve their position and their horse’s comfort, with a fully customized design that places the well being of the combination at the center of every detail.

Review from Annemarie Edgerton-Bright, Musclebound Equine Therapist "It is unheard of me to be amazed by a horse gadget but I am just that. The new Prestige girth..... I call it the donut girth. After seeing amazing improvement in the movement, back stress and pain of some customers that have used it, I tried it for myself.The girth works by removing pressure from the rib cage allowing the ribs to open fully, it takes pressure away from the ascending pectorials and the serratus muscle allowing the horse free movement through the shoulder and across the ribs. It does not place pressure on the back muscles and tendons allowing freedom of movement over the back. The counter saddle stability pressure is placed on the sternum directly under the saddle and as the girth slides through the padded ring there is no tension, or restriction in the ribs as the foreleg extends and the saddle stays perfectly balanced across the back. The design also makes it difficult to over girth. Although not cheap it is definitely an investment worth making. Many times it is not the saddle causing the problems but the girth."
