Am now in the market for a new saddle and wanted to get something that will last forever. It is hard here in Slovakia to find a saddle fitter, in fact, the only company who does this here (that I found) is Prestige Saddles. I had not heard of these before and was pretty leery. I read alot of reviews online with most raving but 2 bad reviews. The bad reviews were worrisome as they concerned the longevity of these saddles; they said that they do not last well, the leather degrades and ends up looking like a cheap saddle. But everywhere else I have read only good, almost delirious, reviews as to comfort, position etc.
So I was cruising the web looking for saddles when I realized that I was being silly. The Prestige (hate the name!) saddle will be fit specifically to my horse AND to me! This is not something that I can get by buying an off the rack Stubben for example, and the price is about the same (more or less).
So I am going for it! The saddle fitter comes to the stables tomorrow with an array of test saddles and he will fit Sementa and then leave several saddles so I can ride in them at length.
Has anyone any experience with these saddles? My trainer is a high showjumper so will be focused more on that style but I am not planning to do high jumps, and, in fact, hate showing. I really like to train and to ride in nature. I also love jumping, but not super high. There are so many models of Prestige saddles that I want to get what will work for me. So if anyone has advice, please share it!!
