Custom-made trees : what are the advantages ?
A custom-made saddle tree guarantees a perfectly balanced saddle, tailored to both horse and rider.
At L’Arçonnerie Française, each saddle tree is designed according to your specific requirements : length, width, twist, choice of gullet and its opening, arch angle, shape and height of cantle, model of stirrup bars, horn, ligntening cut.
Our products combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, with deliberately low manufacturing tolerances, ensuring excellent consistency, controlled symmetry, andexcellent stability over time.
Thanks to their customized design, our saddles trees offer better pressure distribution, increased comfort for the horse, and a natural position for the rider.

Figures that testify to our reliability
125 years of expertise
With more than 125 years of activity dedicated to the manufacture of saddle trees, our company, which has been awarded the Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant (Living Heritage Company) label, is one of the historic benchmarks of French know-how. This longevity testifies to the stability and mastery we place at the service of saddlers.
Stirrup bars designed to last
Our stirrup pins have an exceptionally low failure rate: 1 in every 400,000 installed.
An essential structural component of the saddle, the stirrup bar directly contributes to rider safety. A breakage can cause a fall.
We select our alloys with care and apply rigorous controls at every stage of manufacture.
Metal arches with controlled robustness
Regarding the arch breakage (a high-performance steel componentintegratedinto the gullet), our return rate is 1 arch per 10,000.
The arch ensures the structural stability of the saddle tree.
This low return rate confirms the strength of the materials used and the precision of our adjustments.
Over 600 different types of saddle trees produced each year
Every year, we produce over 600 different saddle trees references. This diversity enables us to meet the technical needs of every saddler, whatever their style or specialty.
100 new references created every year
Our ability and willingness to meet our customers' requirements lead us to design around 100 new products each year, in order to keep pace with developments in equestrian practices, body types, and requirements.
