Saddle-maker, rider, but before all, a lover of horses , I breed horses, prepare
them for national competitions, and in doing so, I also test my own saddles.

A classic saddle-maker and a specialist of the English saddle. I am passionate about well-made leather work , pure materials, and craftmans manuals, which have proved themselves over in any centuries, but I do not ignore the modern contribution of high technology provided it respects tradition.

“I ” hand make all my saddles; my tools are the same kind as used 200 years ago, except for a sewing machine which is only 96 old!

The use of the horse has evolved, and saddles must adapt themselves always
to more technical and demanding disciplines. The most spectacular example is the “ ENDURANCE ” saddle. Over many years, this discipline has evolved so much that the new saddles of endurance are now completely different .(the new model bears no resemblance to the original)

The exclusivity of my saddles is the tree around which they are built.
After many prototypes – all tested in official races of endurance by
riders at national level, a final type was born, a high performance model.

The form and proportions have a classical conception, but the materials used are very modern. It’s a mixt of polyester, carbon and ultra light, very resistant kevlar.

The method of making of this tree follows the technique of archeries, making bows – laminated flexible, light and solid. Each tree is made one at a time – numbered and signed. It’s exclusive to “ SELLES LOISON ”
