Prestige Junior Dressage Saddle Lucky Idol

The Prestige Junior Dressage Saddle Lucky Idol is specially designed for young riders, ensuring they have an optimal position in the seat. The soft leathers offer the rider more grip, and the tree provides a narrow twist and greater close contact for a good connection with the horse.

On request, the cantle can be made of black patent leather. Get the Prestige Junior Dressage Saddle Lucky Idol for a perfect connection between rider and horse!

Prestige Saddle Configurator
Here you will find the options for individually configuring your Prestige saddle. Please note that not every option is available for every model.
First, select the leather type as a variation (if multiple leather types are available). In the next step, click the "Configure" button and follow the individual steps. At the end, you can add the selected configuration to your cart and complete the purchase.
Please note the delivery time of the saddle. Typically, the saddle is produced individually according to your selection criteria.

For this reason, a configured saddle cannot be returned (right of withdrawal).

Saddle Tree
The saddle tree is predetermined for each model and cannot be individually selected. You can find out which saddle tree is installed in which model in the product description of the saddle.
The following saddle trees are available from Prestige:

Standard
Prestige's standard saddle tree is made of plastic. The material is particularly stable, resistant to external influences such as moisture, and lightweight. The gullet width can be thermally adjusted with a special machine.

X-Technology Tree

Depending on the saddle model, this saddle tree has one or no cutout in the front part and two cutouts in the rear area where the seat bones rest. The cutouts are covered with elastic rubber membranes.

Advantages
The membranes increase the rider's comfort and stability. For female riders, the feeling of comfort and stability is even more pronounced with trees that offer a wider seat in the rear, such as models X-D2, X-Perience, and X-Contact K (unisex effect).

Who benefits from X-Technology?
• For those seeking a close-to-the-horse feeling: it is guaranteed by the membranes on which the rider's seat bones rest when seated in the saddle;
• for those seeking a more comfortable seat while maintaining athletic performance;
• for riders who desire more stability in the saddle. X-D2, X-Perience, and X-Contact K, thanks to the "unisex effect," can give women with wider hips, who often struggle to achieve a close connection with the horse, a predetermined but not forced position.

X-Breath Tree

Depending on the saddle model, this saddle tree has one or two oval cutouts in the center of the seat. The cutout is covered with an ultra-elastic honeycomb fabric that guarantees an anatomically comfortable position for the rider, which is also balanced for the horse. The cutout also provides more breathability.

This is a technology applied to the saddle tree, consisting of an oval cutout in the center of the rear part of the tree. This cutout is covered with an elastic and breathable honeycomb fabric. In the X-BREATH K, there is an additional cutout in the front part of the tree.

Advantages
These cutouts provide better breathability and reduce the heat endured by the horse and rider. The rear cutout makes the seat more comfortable by relieving the spine from the stresses it is normally exposed to. Furthermore, saddles with X-Breath technology are lighter.

Who benefits from X-Breath Technology?
• For those who like a breathable and comfortable seat;
• for riders who desire physical well-being by reducing the strain on the spine and coccyx;
• for those seeking a lighter saddle;
• for those who feel like they are riding downhill on the horse or are riding a thoroughbred.

CPS Tree or “Coccyx-Protection-System”

A saddle tree with a new geometric shape with injected membranes and a
differentiated capacity to absorb all loads and movements. This concept was developed to protect the seat bones, coccyx, and back and is visible through the soft Plexiglas viewing window at the bottom of the saddle.

Advantages
These membranes dampen all loads and movements while protecting the rider's seat bones, coccyx, and back. They were developed taking into account the anatomy of men and women.

Who benefits from CPS Technology?
• For those who want a more elastic and softer seat: the central gray
• membrane creates a shock-absorbing feeling for the rider's spine and for the horse;
• for those who desire physical well-being;
• for riders who seek a comfortable seat. The tree with this technology is particularly designed for female riders due to its wider rear part
• for riders who have a downhill feeling on the horse and have difficulty finding a balanced position;
• for dressage riders who struggle to find a deep seat feeling with a downhill-built horse;
• for show jumpers who want to return to the saddle more quickly after a jump.

Leather Type and Color
The following leather variations and colors are available:

Cuoio
Prestige's standard leather is a smooth full-grain leather or textured leather.

D
Doubled small and large saddle flaps. In calfskin or cowhide. Thickness: 4.3mm.

Lux
Oiled doubled calfskin or 4.5mm thick textured leather that undergoes a long tanning process for optimal grip.

Super
4.5mm thick, very soft and robust textured leather that undergoes natural tanning.

Elite
Doubled small and large saddle flaps (5.2mm thickness). Smooth leather or textured leather that undergoes natural tanning.

Seat Size
The seat size is an important aspect when buying a saddle, as this size cannot be changed later. When choosing the seat size, the contact surface of the horse's back, the size or leg length, and the rider's weight should play a role.
Recommended maximum weight for each seat size:

• Seat size 15: 40 kg
• Seat size 16: 41-55 kg
• Seat size 17: 56-79 kg
• Seat size 18: 80-120 kg

Gullet Width
For most Prestige models, you can choose a gullet width from 31 to 37. The gullet widths from 31 to 37 are always 1 cm larger or narrower compared to the standard size 33 for each gullet width (measured at the end of the tree points). For models X-D2, X-D2 K, X-D2 K FREE, X-D1, X-D1 K, X-D1 SC, and D1 SC, the tree sizes are divided as follows:

• S: up to gullet width 32
• M: gullet widths 33 and 34 (X-D2 K Free 32 and 33)
• L: from gullet width 35

Saddle Panels
Wool panels or classic padded panels
Classic saddle panels filled with synthetic wool filling. These panels are very well adaptable by a saddler.

LPF Panels:
Panels filled with synthetic Dacron fiber, honeycomb mesh, and a thin rubber layer. Thanks to this special composition, these panels are lighter than classic panels. These panels are also very well adaptable by a saddler. LPF (Light Performance Fit) panels consist of an Airnet shell and foam towards the horse's back. The filling is made of Dacron, a synthetic wool fiber.

Advantages
These panels are light, elastic, and easy to change. They also adapt very well to the modern horse. These panels combine the reduced thickness and close-to-the-horse feeling typical of latex panels with the shock-absorbing and highly adaptable properties of a padded panel.

Who benefits from LPF Panels?
For riders who do not want to give up the feeling of being close to the horse, but believe that an optimally fitting saddle is an essential prerequisite for the horse's well-being and performance.

Latex Panels:
Pre-formed foam panels made of expanded polyurethane.

 
Saddle Flaps
Basically, a distinction is made between standard saddle flaps, i.e., double saddle flaps with a sweat flap on the horse and a saddle flap or large saddle skirt on top, and mono saddle flaps (K), in which only one saddle flap is installed. The mono variant usually allows for closer contact with the horse's body and always has long girth straps.
The saddle flap is always fixed for the model and not configurable. For mono-flap saddles, you will always find a K in the saddle name.

• Standard: Double-flap saddles
• K: Mono-flap saddles

Forward Projection of the Saddle Flap
The forward projection describes the forward inclination of the saddle flap. Riders with particularly long legs usually find more room for their legs with more forward projection and can thus generally buckle the stirrup shorter and balance themselves better. However, care should be taken with the forward projection, as too much forward projection can quickly restrict the horse's shoulder freedom.
The following forward projection options are available from Prestige:

• A-2: -2cm
• A Standard
• A+2 / A: +2cm
• A+4 / AA: +4cm
• A+6 / AAA: +6cm

Length of the Saddle Flap
The length of the saddle flap describes the downward length of the saddle flap. The length of the saddle flap should also correlate with the rider's height.

• XS -5cm
• S -2.5m
• M 0 (standard)
• L +2.5cm
• XL +5cm
• XXL +7cm

As for jumping saddles, these will have slightly more forward projection at the front with longer saddle flaps.

Shoulder Free Variant SF
Available in classic padded and latex panels, but only on some models. Special panels, specially developed for more shoulder freedom. Particularly suitable for horses with pronounced shoulders.
