Which horse equipment to choose?

Before looking at the origin of our equipment, we must know what equipment we need. Indeed, each horse, each rider and each discipline has its own requirements. 

Horse equipment made in France according to the discipline

Horseback riding has many disciplines. The three main ones, jumping, cross-country and dressage, all require special equipment. 

For example, show jumpers have their own saddle, as do dressage and cross country riders. 

At Arion HST, we strive to ensure that each rider finds the right equipment, adapted to his morphology and that of his horse, respecting very high quality criteria.

Choose your equipment according to your expectations

There are as many types of riders as there are riders. We all have our own expectations for our equipment in terms of value for money, aesthetics or image. 

A rider who changes his mount regularly does not have the same needs for his horse equipment as a competition rider. 

Similarly, the choice of equipment for the horse is also made according to the budget of each person. 

However, there is one point on which all riders agree: comfort. 

The equipment of our horse must be comfortable for us, but especially for him. Indeed, a horse "well" in his equipment will be more inclined to work and will give more easily the best of himself.

Our company is based on the respect of the horse and its comfort. Our riding equipment is made to be forgotten so as to never hinder or hurt the horse in its work. For even more comfort, we create custom-made saddles or half-measure.

Horse equipment made in France

As a French company, we chose to combine our know-how with the expertise of a French workshop. This choice was motivated by several reasons.

The quality of the materials

Our Arion saddles, our bridles, halters and our other horse equipment are made with French leather. This high quality leather meets very precise quality criteria. If we have selected it, it is because it meets our requirements of durability, beauty and strength.

Leather is a natural and noble material. For our sport, it is an ideal material ideal materialIt is ideal for our sport, as it responds well to different stresses. Repeated rubbing, sun or rain, and even perspiration do not affect the material very much.

However, leather being a natural material, it is necessary to maintain it regularly with maintenance products products.

Our French leather is selected by our expert leatherworkers.

The expertise of a French workshop 

Our horse equipment is manufactured in the southwest of France, in a workshop near Bayonne. This region is home to many houses of the equestrian world. 

However, not all of them have their production facilities within walking distance of the office, as we do. 

Our craftsmen have more than 40 years of experience in working with leather. They are trained to work with saddlery leather and luxury leather goods. They devote equal passion and precision to the work of both sectors. 

The advantage of our French workshop is the ease of exchange. We are in direct contact with the workshop, for a constant verification of the quality of production (even if we have full confidence in our craftsmen).

The choice to establish our company in France allows us to be as close as possible to you. This proximity is essential for us to be able to offer you quality equipment that is adapted to your needs.

Comfort and performance

For the equipment of your horse, and particularly the saddlery, you can choose the custom-made. 

At Arion HST, you will find cross country saddlescross-country dressage and jumping saddles created according to your morphology and that of your horse.

Custom-made equipment is a guarantee of comfort. Indeed, a custom-made saddle respects the curves of your horse and eliminates blocking or compression points. Generally, the horse adapts to its equipment and may tend to compensate for a discomfort, which will create a functional imbalance. In our case, it is the saddle that adapts to your horse, freeing it from any constraint. 

This way, your horse feels good at work and can express all its qualities. We believe in comfort for performance.
