I'm looking at buying a 17" 34 cm Prestige Top Dressage Saddle from a shop in NJ. Asking price is $1200. After a lot of searching online, it seems to be a pretty good deal. I sat in it yesterday and really liked it. Thinking about taking it out on trial to see how it fits Danny. Anyone have any opinions about this saddle, or Prestiges in general? Has anyone had a Prestige adjusted? From what I'm reading, they can be adjusted 2 cm up or down.
I haven't ridden in that particular model, but I have been taking lessons in a Prestige Optimax and I absolutely LOVE it. I'm actually in the process of trying to save up to buy one. Sorry, this is pretty much a pointless reply But I hope it goes well for you!!
I sat in an Optimax yesterday too! Wow! Sooo nice. Unfortunately, it was about twive the price, so I think I'll try this one first!! Posted via Mobile Device
Oh I know, they are sooo comfortable! I would recommend trying both on trial. I have learned (the hard way) that you really do pay for quality, so if its possible for you to save up a little longer and buy the "better" saddle, I would.
My fiance went back to the shop yesterday and picked up the saddle for me to take on trial. It looks even better than I remember! Trying it tonight, I hope it fits Danny!!
