Suitability
The Prestige Philosophy is designed to suit a variety of horse conformations, but its innovative features make it particularly well-suited for specific types:
Horses with Prominent Shoulders: The wider tree and setback tree points allow for greater freedom of the shoulders and trapezius muscles. This is ideal for horses with well-developed or big shoulders, enabling them to move more freely and expressively in their gaits.
Horses with Good Withers and a Slightly Arched Back: The deep seat and panel design, which has a larger contact surface towards the back of the saddle, works well for horses with a decent wither and a back that is not completely flat. The panels are also flocked (or come with latex panels), which allows for professional adjustment to fit the unique contours of the horse's back.
Horses that "Need Room to Move": Because the saddle's design prioritizes freedom of movement and proper weight distribution, it is an excellent choice for performance horses that need to engage their back and shoulders fully.
Overall, the Prestige Philosophy is a versatile saddle that, with proper fitting by a qualified saddle fitter, can be adapted to a wide range of horses. However, its design innovations make it an especially good solution for riders seeking to maximize shoulder freedom and comfort for their horse.
Important Note: Saddle fitting is crucial. While a saddle model may be designed for a specific horse type, it's always recommended to have a professional saddle fitter assess both the horse and rider to ensure the best possible fit.
About
Experience the ultimate in harmony and performance with the Prestige Philosophy Dressage Saddle. Built on a revolutionary tree featuring Prestige's patented Coccyx Protection System (CPS), this saddle is engineered to protect the rider's ischial bones, coccyx, and back, while allowing for a deep and balanced position.
The innovative CPS tree utilizes a new injected-membrane geometry with different capacities to absorb and cushion stress and movement, providing unparalleled comfort for the rider. The saddle's design also ensures maximum freedom for your horse. The front of the tree is wider to provide greater clearance for the withers and trapezius muscles, and the tree points are set back slightly, allowing the rider to place the saddle further forward without hindering the horse's shoulders.
Handcrafted with luxurious, double-oiled calfskin leather, the Philosophy offers a secure and close-contact feel. The anatomically conformed panels have a larger contact surface, distributing the rider's weight evenly for better comfort and freedom of movement for the horse. The elegant damask leather detailing on the cantle and gullet adds a touch of sophistication to this high-performance saddle.
