What is Your Favorite Saddle Brand?
This question relates to junior hunter/equitation riders. I would like to know which saddle brand you prefer and why, and what other brands have your tried in the past and what were their pros/cons.
I understand that choosing a saddle has a lot to do with personal preference and fitting the horse. I am in the process of buying a new saddle and would greatly appreciate your thoughts! Serious competitors only please!
Here is a helpful list of brands that I can think of off the top of my head:
- CWD
- Bates
- Beval
- Collegiate
- Crosby
- Henri de Rivel
- Pessoa
- Stubben
- Wintec
- Antares
- Devoucoux
- Butet
- PJ Delgrange
- Hermes
- Tadcoffin
Throughout the years, I’ve had Crosbys, Crumps and various other makes of English saddle, however the saddle that is STILL with me after 37 years is my old Stubben Siegfried. Stubbens hold their value, besides having a deeper seat that keeps you IN it! Especially when you’re going over larger fences.
IF you’ve got the money and you’re showing A shows and hunters, go for the Hermes. It’s a prestige thing because Hermes were the innovators of the close contact saddles.
There’s always Kieffer, Passier and Courbette which are also European brands and hold their value.
Saddles like Wintecs, don’t hold up over time, because of their materials used and the fact that the trees have no give to them you’re limited to what type of horse your saddle will fit, whereas something with the old style spring tree will fit a wider range of horses. My old Siegfried is made on a WIDE spring tree and I’d had it on everything from mutton withered QHs to Arabs and even narrower TBs without issue.
Henri de Rivels, Pessoas and such are cheaper versions of the Crosbys, Crumps and other close contact saddles and are made in Argentina/India. Some use French leather, but the craftsmanship is lacking and they don’t hold up over time.
I hope that this helps in your selection.
