A saddle that doesn’t fit the horse correctly can cause numerous issues. A saddle that is too narrow or too wide can create painful pressure points on the horse’s back, leading to muscle tension, irritability, and potential injuries. On the other hand, a well-fitted saddle provides an adequate support area, distributing the rider’s weight evenly allowing the horse to move with greater freedom and comfort. However, saddle fitting isn’t only about the well-being of the horse. The rider also benefits from a properly fitted saddle. A badly positioned saddle can cause imbalances in the rider, endangering his safety and compromising his ability to communicate effectively with the horse. Prestige has recognized the importance of saddle fitting and has developed, among other solutions, an innovative approach to meet the diverse needs of horses. The”width changing” is a system that allows adjusting the saddle’s width to accommodate different horse conformations and musculature. This enables a more precise and personalized fit, ensuring superior comfort and greater freedom of movement for the horse. Prestige’s width changing system is designed to be easily adjustable by a professional saddler, adapting the saddle to changes in the horse’s musculature over time. Investing in a well-designed and properly fitted saddle is a sign of care and respect for our precious companion. Moreover, a proper fitting allows maximizing the pleasure of horse riding and enhancing performance, creating an even stronger connection between horse and rider.
