Founded in 1974 by the Rasia-Stocchetti family in Vicenza as Appaloosa, the company became Prestige Italia in 1992, distinguishing itself on the equestrian market with the first synthetic fibre saddle frame. The company expanded its international presence, opening an office in the United States in 1996 and a headquarters in Wellington, Florida, in 2020. Projects such as the Prestige Youth Cup and the Prestige Academy demonstrate the company’s commitment to the future of equestrian sport.
Today, Prestige Italia operates under the Prestige and Renaissance brands, representing the Anglo-German and French equestrian philosophies respectively. Prestige innovations have always sought to improve comfort and stability in the saddle. For the anniversary, the company launched AS-X technology, which adapts to the horse’s movements and revolutionizes riding.
Prestige Italia is committed to sustainability and environmental responsibility, initiating the calculation of the carbon footprint of its saddles. Looking to the future, it will continue to innovate, with the well-being of horse and rider at the heart of its mission.
