The Prestige Helen Langehanenberg range of Dressage saddles have been developed for the German champion Helen Langehanenberg … and you too can take advantage of her winning edge!

Helen is no stranger to the limelight and in just a few short years she has become one of the most respected riders and trainers in Europe, sitting as the FEI, World No 2 ranked rider for almost two years.   She started her career as a successful junior with notable success in 2007 at the famous German Bundeschampionat, where she won three titles. 

Helen entered the senior ranks with great success on horses taking part in Young Horse classes right through to Grand Prix.  She has won at National and European level with a career highlight taking the silver medal at the 2014 World Equestrian Games in Normandy France and also being part of the gold medal winning German Team.

Helen has worked in collaboration with one of the world’s leading saddle makers – Prestige of Italy – to develop a saddle that includes the special features that she feels are important for all riders who are keen to help their horses to be the best they can be.  Helen understands that comfort for the horse and rider are key factors for a successful training program, as it is the rider’s position and seat that will influence the horse’s way of going.  The saddle is the most important tool of communication between horse and rider!

The Prestige Helen Langehanenberg Dressage range features a new tree which is deeper than with any other Prestige model and this enables the rider to “sit deep” in the saddle without impeding or blocking the horse’s movement. The Prestige “Helen” affords a secure, well-balanced riding position, which promotes the use of refined aids and this encourages harmony and co-operation between horse and rider.

The “Helen” range of dressage saddles feature Prestige’s X-Technology, which is a unique system that offers riders an ultra close contact and feel, with no compromise to the comfort and well being of the horse.

The Prestige “Helen” saddle has elastic membranes, positioned in the area of the ischia, which make the seat immediately comfortable for the rider, alleviating pressure on the seat bones.

The panels are a new innovation and made of a honeycomb structure material combined with a soft spongy fabric. These panels, with their anatomical shape, afford the utmost freedom of movement to the muscles of the trapezius.

The design features and high tech materials used in the manufacture of the Prestige Helen Langehanenberg range of Dressage saddles, means that the saddle does not require “riding-in” to give optimum comfort, the saddle feels “molded to the rider’s shape” right from day 1.

Highly successful Queensland professional Melissa Van Den Berg (pictured right) says, “I absolutely love this saddle…… I use it on a number of horses every day.  It’s a great fit and comfortable for both horse and rider! 

I find it helps my position and the best thing is……..  it doesn’t need breaking in.  I rode at a competition the day after getting my new Helen and it was great from day 1!!!”

Multi champion Australian rider Emma Flavelle (pictured above riding the champion young stallion Fiderfurst - standing at Arnage Warmbloods) has chosen the Prestige Helen saddle and says, "The Prestige Helen KD is beautifully balanced saddle that helps sit the rider in a secure position on the horse enabling the rider to sit more into the horses back and able to influence a soft swinging back more effectively"
