Prestige Saddles

Marala · 06-21-2008, 05:03 PM

I am thinking about buying this saddle:

I am fairly new to saddle purchasing and I honestly haven't heard of Prestige before. I LOVE my trainers Vega saddle but can't afford one. I found a Prestige online but want to know what you guys think of the brand and the saddle. I don't have the money to make a mistake on what saddle I buy so the more info you can give me the better! Thanks!

it is a beautiful saddle and prestige is a very good brand, i wish i could afford one! i would suggest at least sitting in one before you buy, also get your horses back measured to be sure it will fit well. a saddle really needs to fit you both well or neither of you will be comfortable.

I thought Vega by Amerigo was around the same range(high 2k)? Maybe you mean Amerigo? If so, you could probably find a used one in your price range if you really love it. Otherwise, prestige is a really a reputable brand. I haven't got any experience with them, but it's definitely quality!

Prestige is a nice brand... if you're unsure of how much you'll like it/if it will fit your horse, try going through Dover or Smartpack to get a trial saddle. If you don't like it, you can send it back, if you do, you can keep it.

Prestige is a good brand - I think they're very comfortable. 2 girls at my barn have them, and we all love them!

But I am afraid the flap won't be the right size. The owner told me it is a regular and that she is 5'2" 110lbs and it fits her. I am 5'6" and 120lbs so I don't think it will be the right size for me. Oh well. Back to searching. It does look like an amazing saddle!

That one is different from the one I originally posted but they are almost the same.
