Comfort for the horse, stability for the rider
Designed for long-distance riding and the diversity of terrain encountered on the trail, the Randonnée treestand offers a perfect compromise between comfort for the horse and stability for the rider. The hollow seat combined with the rigid bands provide a comfortable, long-lasting seat, while ensuring optimum support.
Materials and design
Made from laminated beech wood, the saddle tree has asturdy structurecapable of withstanding the stresses ofprolonged use on varied terrain. The set-back stirrup bars promote correct leg position for the rider, improving comfort and stability. The rigid wooden bands maintain the stability of the whole structure despite the forces exerted.
Dimensions and adjustments
The dimensions of the saddle tree are crucial. The right length, width, and gullet are essential to ensure the comfort and safety of both rider and horse.
Below are the standard dimensions available :
| Length (mm) | 385 · 400 · 415 · 430 |

The dimensions of the saddle tree must be determined based on the horse’s build. Even with a standard saddle tree, these measurements allow the saddler to select the size and shape best suited to the horse.
As part of a custom project, L’Arçonnerie Française provides a comprehensive, illustrated, and detailed guide to measuring a horse’s back.

Recommendations for use
The Randonnée saddle tree, made of laminated wood, offers excellent structural stability. To preserve its qualities over time, it is recommended to store it in an environment with constant temperature and humidity. As with any natural material, paying particular attention to exposure to water and significant climatic variations will ensure its longevity.
The adjustment must be carried out carefully, and the type of saddle envisaged and its use (intensive work, competition, leisure) are also factors to be taken into account.
