Kevlar-reinforced polyurethane Jumping Saddle tree

This jumping saddle tree is designed to provide an optimal balance between stiffness and flexibility, ensuring proper weight distribution across the horse's back while maintaining the responsiveness required for show jumping.

The saddle tree’s geometry is designed to promote a stable and efficient riding position, with a cantle suited for jumping saddles. The width of the saddle and its overall contours ensure a consistent fit for the most common horse body types encountered in the equestrian world.

This PUK model is made of fiber-reinforced polyurethane, ensuring excellent resistance to mechanical stress and wear over time. This choice of material results in a uniform, stable, and reproducible mold, making it particularly well-suited for standardized production.

The products are manufactured in France, with rigorous quality control at every stage, to ensure consistent quality that meets the expectations of professional saddlers.

This PUK show jumping saddle is equipped with an changeable arch system, allowing the opening at the horse's withers to be precisely adjusted without altering the saddle's main structure.

This system offers great flexibility for the saddler, particularly in the following situations:

Adaptation to different horse body types
Changes in musculature over time
Adjustments during saddle fitting

The arch can be quickly replaced while maintaining the overall stability and geometric consistency of the structure. This solution improves precision and efficiency when manufacturing or customizing a jumping saddle.

Every saddle tree manufactured by L’Arçonnerie Française is the result of a rigorous process that combines traditional craftsmanship with modern technical expertise. Our saddle trees are designed to meet the practical needs of saddlers, taking into account the demands of use, manufacturing, and durability.

This standard PUK model perfectly illustrates this approach : a reliable, precise, and proven foundation for creating professional-quality saddles.

Made-to-measure, 100% French. Handcrafted in our workshop, each tree is adjusted to the saddler's precise specifications. L'Arçonnerie Française guarantees top-quality craftsmanship, in keeping with the French saddlery tradition.

The images shown illustrate how this PUK jumping tree can be incorporated into a finished saddle, as it might be crafted in a saddlery workshop.

This exercise provides a practical understanding of the role of the saddle tree in the saddle’s structure : it defines the saddle’s overall shape, balance, and weight distribution, while also serving as the foundation for the saddler’s work on the panels, the seat, and the flaps.

Thanks to its precise and stable design, this saddle tree provides a reliable foundation for crafting high-performance show jumping saddles tailored to the demands of the sport. It allows for meticulous attention to volume and balance, while maintaining the overall consistency of the finished saddle.

The use of a well-crafted saddle tree from the manufacturing stage onward directly contributes to the saddle’s final quality, both in terms of comfort for the horse and the rider’s position.
