Prestige is the ideal partner for Leisure Time, not only for those who enjoy different equestrian activities, from small jumps to flatwork in the arena, but also for enthusiasts of haking and trekking who love being in close contact with nature, sharing unforgettable experiences, without compromising the well-being of their companion or their own comfort in the saddle. Prestige combines craftsmanship, tradition, and innovation with the precise goal of ensuring the well-being of horse and rider on every occasion: during long rides or on the most challenging and demanding trails. Attention to detail, made in Italy, makes our saddles the ideal choice for all those who want to live memorable experiences, focusing solely on the path to follow and the destination to reach, enjoying every single moment in the saddle.
Every Prestige saddle aims at the comfort of horse and rider; in particular, the Leisure range offers specific solutions for those who wish to take long rides or horseback excursions. The two standard and trekker trees meet the needs of every rider looking for a saddle that is both comfortable and respectful of their horse’s well-being.
All our Prestige saddles have a single objective: to ensure the horse’s well-being and the rider’s comfort. Since its foundation, Prestige has used only trees made from a blend of synthetic fibers with unique and distinctive characteristics. Thanks to its construction, the tree is particularly resistant yet extremely lightweight, two ideal features for prolonged saddle use in nature. Additionally, the tree does not deform due to external factors such as humidity or heat and does not require metal reinforcements that would add weight. Besides the standard tree available for leisure time saddles, Prestige has developed a tree dedicated to trekking, with an innovative and functional shape for long journeys. Trekking saddles, in fact, feature a suspended and floating seat thanks to an interlaced webbing system that makes the seat comfortable and cushioned, suitable for longer hikes. Resistance, comfort, and lightness: the perfect blend for your riding adventures in nature.
The Atena Evo models are among the best-selling saddles in the Leisure Time range with a standard tree. They are available in HP, Fender, and Flaps versions, which mainly differ in their flaps. The HP and Flaps versions are monoflap saddles with two different types of knee rolls, depending on the preferred leg position and the level of support desired. The Fender version, as the name suggests, is more oriented towards a “Western Riding” position. The panels of the Atena Evo saddles feature LPF (Light Performance Fit) padding, which, unlike traditional flocked panels, consists of Dacron synthetic fiber covered with an elastic honeycomb fabric and a layer of soft foam. This combination provides lightness, elasticity, and adaptability to different horse conformations. Additionally, the Atena Evo saddles come with a range of useful accessories, such as saddlebags and pouches, to tackle every riding adventure with the right equipment. Within the Leisure Time range, there are also ‘all-purpose’ saddles, such as Venus VS, Roma VSD, GP2, and Explorer 2. These versatile models which provide comfort and stability, suitable for multiple disciplines and for haking.
The Trekker line within the Leisure Time range is built on a Trekker tree designed to ensure maximum comfort for both the horse, tackling the most demanding challenges, and the rider, spending long hours in the saddle. The Trekker saddles are available in Land, TE, RR, and M versions. Except for the Land model, these saddles are available with or without X-Breath technology, whose key feature is an oval-shaped opening in the center of the seat. This opening provides a dual benefit: on one hand, it enhances airflow for both horse and rider, helping to maintain an optimal temperature during long rides, and on the other, it offers therapeutic advantages. It relieves pressure on the coccyx and reduces stress on the spine-one of the most affected areas during horseback trekking. To offer maximum comfort and equipment, saddlebags are available for the Trekker line.
Prestige Italia has embarked on a journey toward a more sustainable future, where new generations of horses and riders can continue to enjoy experiences in natural environments. For those who, like us, cherish their connection with nature and strive for a more eco-conscious approach, Prestige is dedicating increasing attention to developing saddles with the lowest possible environmental impact. That’s why our saddles are produced using 100% clean energy, thanks to self-generation through solar panels and the purchase of certified third-party sources.
Taking care of your saddle is essential, especially for those who spend a lot of time outdoors. Leisure Time saddles face the challenges of weather conditions and the wear typical of outdoor adventures. Proper maintenance not only ensures your safety on every ride but also extends the life of your saddle, reducing the need for replacement, a small gesture for both rider well-being and the planet. Furthermore, our trekking saddles are fully disassemblable, designed to accompany you on every adventure, even the most demanding ones. Their easy disassembly makes cleaning and maintenance quick and simple, ensuring excellent performance and long-lasting durability. Whether you’re exploring mountain trails or enjoying a peaceful ride, your saddle will always be ready.
