France has a long history of saddlemaking, and is home to a select few saddlemakers who have a well-justified worldwide reputation for saddles, bridlework and accessories of the very highest quality.  French-made saddles are in great demand worldwide, and are chosen by many of the world's top professional Equestrians.  These top manufacturers are experts in the design and development of saddles for all disciplines of the riding world... jumping, dressage and endurance... and quality is their keyword.  Only a few companies reach the heights of success in world markets reached by Hermes, Frederic Butet, Devoucoux, Bruno Delgrange and Luc Childeric,  but there are many other saddlemakers in France who manufacture competition and everyday saddles to a similar high quality, using the same top quality leathers and materials.  We hope that we may be able to help you to    discover some of the other Fench saddlemakers who are around.  We are always happy to answer any queries about the 'top name' French saddlemakers ... so please email us

If you are interested to see the craftsmanship which goes into the manufacture of just one French saddle, or  wonder why French saddles are the most desirable saddles in the world, we strongly recommend that you spend a few minutes watching the video clip on the website of the following small artisan French saddlemaker... M.Vincent Gaffet... Here you can follow the stages of manufacture of some of the world's finest hand-made saddles. We should be encouraged that still in 2009 there are craftsmen like this at work, designing and producing such high-quality products.
