A new version of our most popular Prestige Mono-Flap Saddle. To give this saddle a more elegant look, the blocks were made thinner, while maintaining the same feeling for the rider. Smaller blocks are now available on request. The smaller blocks provide maximum freedom of movement to the rider. Changes were also made to the flaps to reduce the thickness under the thigh, giving even closer contact. The main features of the X-D2 K Free, including our unisex-effect remain unchanged. The unisex tree gives both male and female riders a pre-established place in the saddle to have an independent and balanced seat. Two membranes in the tree are designed for both the male and female anatomy. The forward position of these membranes in the tree, when compared to a traditional dressage seat, allows the perfect balance without disturbing the modern sport horses movements. The front and rear part of the tree, as well as the position of the stirrup bars, have been completely re-designed with the horse’s well fair in mind to help riders achieve maximum performance. The admiration for the X-D2 K Free started with its half-deep seat, the unique contoured and curved panels that allowed complete shoulder freedom for the horse and its curved blocks. The saddle must be used with the 3F021 – Trapezium Pad for a perfect fit.

Review from my recent saddle fitting with Chloe: "My horse Effie has never felt so good! He now moves so freely whilst I can still maintain a deep seat in the saddle. He now always looks and feels so relaxed. I also purchased the Prestige A52 RP Dressage girth, which is amazing. His front leg extension has increased so much with this girth, as it allows much more freedom of movement. The difference both items have made mean he is now moving amazingly".
Elite: 4,5 mm thick printed leather of vegetable tanning for an optimum grip.
Lux: saddle with flaps and skirts lined in a 5.2 mm thick smooth or printed leather subject to natural tanning processes.
D: saddle lined on the flaps or on the skirts in calfskin leather or in bovine leather. Thickness: 4,3
X-TECHNOLOGY
WHAT IS IT? It is a technology applied to the tree consisting of two membranes positioned in the rear part of the tree, where the rider’s ischial bones rest.
BENEFITS The membranes help increasing the comfort and stability of the rider. In the female rider’s case, the sense of comfort and stability is even more evident on the trees that provide a wider seat in the back
