Saddletree

It characterizes the shape, the dynamic performance and mechanical resistance of the saddle. It defines the interface between the space reserved for the horse and the volume adjusted to the rider. Its shape is defined and adapted according to each equestrian discipline.

L'Arçonnerie Française's saddletrees are designed and custom made according to specific parameters.

Mechanical behavior

The mechanical behavior of L'Arçonnerie Française's saddletrees is optimized to not create a point of contact which could traumatize horse. The deformation is uniformly distributed without breakpoint.

Due to the shape and the mechanical structure of the tree, the saddle gives the rider comfort and optimum ergonomics.

Each saddler using L'Arçonnerie Française's saddletrees can express his creativity while using a mechanical reference which is reliable and well-suited.
