Prestige X-D1K Zero Lux Anniversary Saddle

This saddle offers closer contact guaranteeing the best freedom of movement to the horse. The narrow and deep twist and a deep seat to keep the rider´s balance to the front of the saddle. The fit is outstanding for short and muscular horses, also thanks to the panels that are shaved in the front part to give the most freedom to the shoulders. The saddle comes with the F23.0 – Trapezium Pad for a perfect fit.

The  Prestige X-D1 close contact dressage saddle offers outstanding performance which makes it the the choice of discerning riders, who are looking for the best.

Prestige Italia have studied human and equine anatomy to embrace a holistic approach to design. They have incorporated the use of high-tech materials to achieve a perfectly balanced and responsive feel. This saddle offers comfort and close contact guaranteeing the best freedom of movement to the horse.

Rider comfort along with the comfort and well being of the horse are paramount and behind the development of Prestige’s close contact concepts and X-Technology. Like all the Prestige saddles in the X range, the Prestige X-D1 has anatomically shaped panels guarantee maximum freedom of movement for the trapezius muscles. The fit of these panels gives freedom of movement  while this unique design provides closeness and feel and makes the well being and comfort of the horse a top priority.

The significantly thinner panels, softness of the seat and overall elasticity and “give” minimise discomfort and fatigue, optimising the harmony between horse and rider.

Saddle makers often resort to an extreme twist, lengthening the tree supports, or shifting the centre gravity to the rear of the seat, to give the rider a closer feel – all of these modifications can harm the horse.

The Zero versions are different from the previous model because it offers now a narrower twist to the rider. This has been possible by working on the following three points: The saddle tree is now thinner in the middle, the upper part of the flaps is now in calfskin instead of leather, so that we could obtain less thickness in this area, the under flaps in the same area of the calfskin inserts of the flaps, have a special thermo-sensitive rubber so that it is possible to reach an even lower thickness.

The Prestige X-D1 Features:

• Improved close contact thanks to innovative design and the use of high-tech materials which allow an appreciable reduction in panel thickness.
• The narrow and deep twist makes the rider closer to the horse for a winning performance.
• The saddle’s improved stability ensures that the horse feels comfortable along its back and moves freely with confidence.
• The upper part of the flap is now in calfskin leather to minimise thickness in this area. The under flaps use a special thermo-sensitive rubber to further reduce thickness and enhance the rider’s feel.
