Reviews?

I have one! I bought it in Germany last summer for my new mare. I LOVE Prestige!! Their saddles are all very light on the horses’ backs, and the leather quality is amazing. They have a million different models, so there are a lot of options for finding the right fit. I really like the X Breathe. I don’t know how much the ventilation actually helps, since I use a fleece half pad and my horse still sweats. But, it is so nice to ride in. I would recommend it to anyone!

So is it basically a Wise-Air? Like Dutton’s saddle? I would like it more if it was monoflap.

the little blurb at the bottom of the page is funny… like… ignorant/snake oil funny.

It’s similar. The prestige isn’t a monoflap, and it has mesh in the hole in the seat (I believe the Wise-Air just has a hole). But, same concept :slight_smile:

Last I heard, The Wise Air saddles were no longer being made. In any case though, most of the time you would see the monoflap saddles, but they did also have a standard double flapped saddle.

The Prestige looks really nice. Almost like a more refined version of the Wise Air saddles

Here is the monoflap model

So why the preference for monoflap? Closer contact? I have just always used the standard short billets
