What is a high end horse saddle?

A top of the line horse saddle combines meticulous design with exceptional durability.

Half-size or custom design

Standard quality saddles are often designed using general measurements. This is in contrast to saddles that are made from your own measurements. The half-measure models, which we offer at Arion HST, are based on the same measurements but are customized to your needs. This is an important point of what a high-end saddle is. The adaptation of the object to the morphology of the horse is essential, as is the adaptation to your measurements. A saddle must belong to a rider/horse couple and not be used for several riders and horses. A saddle of this kind is therefore fully involved in your success, whereas a standard saddle does not allow you to exceed your limits.

Exceptional longevity

The high end horse saddle uses noble and high quality materials to gain in longevity. It is a constant that you will find among all the objects of high quality. A noble and resistant material such as French leather is then a basis to imagine high quality saddles. This material is resistant but also supple when needed and is ideal for horse riding. It withstands the bad weather that we, the riders, go through on a daily basis. This saddle is very resistant to humidity and sunlight. It can also withstand contact and rubbing with your horse's skin. Leather has all the necessary qualities to design long-lasting, high-end saddles.

What does Arion HST do for a high-end saddle?

Do you know what differentiates the high-end horse saddles from the high-quality saddles made by Arion HST? No ? Let's find out.

High-end horse saddles: a craftsman's know-how

Located in the southwest of France, our saddlery workshop focuses its work around the craftsmanship. To design a top-of-the-line horse saddle, we insist on mastering each step of the manufacturing process. We start with a computer-assisted technical drawing to give shape to our creation. Then, we design a prototype to have a concrete idea of the expected result. At Arion HST, our craftsmen then take care of the actual making of the custom saddle. Everything is calculated and measured from the measurements of your horse but also yours. This artisanal conception, the antithesis of industrial manufacturing, allows us to produce luxury saddles and accessories.

An experience of the equestrian environment

At Arion HST, our experience in professional equestrian competition makes all the difference with our competitors. When manufacturing a saddle, we bring our experience to bear in order to propose targeted alterations. Our knowledge of the field allows us to solve specific problems during the manufacture of the saddle. Each part of the saddle is designed for the well-being of the horse, but also for your own comfort. Because facilitating the practice of horse riding allows you to improve your skills, we offer you a meticulous material. Where a standard saddle is not necessarily adapted to your daily practice, our creations are thought for the ground. For training, leisure or competition, there is nothing like a top of the range saddle to go beyond your own limits.

High-end horse saddle: which models are available?

Innovation, high quality and well-being of the horse are the key words of Arion HST. For you, we have designed three types of custom-made high-end horse saddles and a new half-measure model.

Our three types of custom saddles

You may already be familiar with our three types of top-of-the-line horse saddles from Arion HST! They all benefit from the same craftsmanship in leather work and are made to your measurements. They are adapted to your horse's morphology and the type of seat can be chosen for each of these three types.

The models used for jumping are the most diversified. These saddles can be designed with three different types of leather: nubuck, grained or calf. For dressage, our extra-hard seat will provide stability and a heightened sense of sensation. For cross country, the seat is flat and the nubuck provides a silky touch without losing any of the skill.

The novelty: the half-size saddle

Named ATLAS, our new saddle has a standard base with adjustment to your size. It is this specificity which grants it the notion of half-measure. Made from 100% French vegetable tanned leather, this saddle will follow you for many years.

Very resistant, it was thought for the riders looking for a tool with an accessible quality/price ratio. Using the points that make the strength of custom-made saddles, this one is nevertheless available at 2400€ TTC! It focuses on comfort for the rider and is available in two similar but distinct models. The first one is for jumping while the second one is for cross country riding. The latter is then equipped with a strap to improve stability during jumps.
