A laminated wood jumping fence
This jumping saddle is made of laminated beech wood, a material known for its mechanical stability and durability. It creates a structure that is both rigid and slightly flexible, capable of absorbing stress while retaining its shape over time.
Each component is precisely adjusted to ensure perfect consistency in lines and proportions. This is essential for maintaining the saddle’s balance and ensuring a high-quality contact with the horse.
The wood used comes from certified sustainable forest management sources (PEFC/FSC). Particular attention is paid to the selection of components, with priority given to French or European suppliers, in order to ensure quality, traceability, and a consistent supply chain.
The selection of wood is part of a proven technical approach, providing saddle makers with a reliable foundation for crafting high-performance saddles. This approach is accompanied by a structured environmental commitment, based on our carbon footprint assessment conducted in February 2025, and driven by a constant commitment to reducing our environmental impact.
Manufacturing under control at every stage
The manufacture of this saddle tree follows a rigorous process, in which each step contributes to the final precision of the piece.
From assembling the components to shaping, including planing, joinery, and finishing, each step is carried out with meticulous care to ensure clean lines and harmonious proportions.
These successive steps allow for fine-tuning the saddle tree, ensuring its symmetry, and controlling its dimensions—all essential elements for creating a reliable and durable foundation.
Expertise dedicated to precision
This piece exemplifies the high manufacturing standards of L’Arçonnerie Française, where each saddle tree is designed with meticulous attention to dimensions, symmetry, and fit.
Glued-laminated timber offers excellent durability while ensuring the precision required for the manufacture of high-quality saddles.
Each saddle tree thus provides a solid technical foundation that supports the saddler's craft and enhances the saddle's performance.
Technical decisions and design
Each saddle tree is the result of precise technical decisions, guided by the demands of the sport and the saddler’s requirements.
The design is based on a balance between stability, freedom of movement, and durability. The geometry, cross-sections, and reinforcement points are precisely engineered to ensure consistent performance over time, while allowing for a precise fit to the horse’s body.
Glued-laminated timber allows for precise control over shapes and tolerances, ensuring dimensional consistency and uniformity across the various configurations offered.
Integration for the benefit of the saddle
This tree provides a reliable technical foundation for crafting show jumping saddles, fitting seamlessly into the saddler’s workflow.
Its geometry and precision ensure consistent assembly, guaranteeing proper alignment of the saddle’s various components and a seamless design.
Once fitted to the saddle, it directly contributes to the horse’s overall balance and comfort, as well as the rider’s stability, helping to create a cohesive, durable, and functional system.
