About Prestige Helen said:
“The saddle is what connects the rider to the horse. This is very important for me, but mostly for my horses. For this reason, I chose Prestige Italia to design an innovative Dressage saddle: the seat is extremely soft and very close to the horse, but without interfering with the movement.”
