The advantages of a saddle made in France
France is one of the nations with the most developed equestrian heritage. Concerning sport or leisure riding, but also in terms of equipment production, our country has a unique wealth of know-how.
The ancestral know-how of our saddlers
When Arion HST was created, we wanted to highlight the know-how of French saddlers. Indeed, for a saddle made in France, we had to surround ourselves with only the best saddlers.
For us, French manufacturing is much more than a symbolic value. It is a real commitment to manufacture with raw materials, craftsmen, and knowledge as local as possible.
The leathers that we use for our saddles comes from France. Furthermore, our workshop has settled in the South-West, a few kilometers away from our company. In this way, we combine quality materials with a reduced carbon footprint.
Mastering manufacturing from A to Z
In the French workshops for Arion, excellence is the order of the day. Our partner craftsmen work the leather manually, according to a know-how and a centuries-old method. Our workshop is also a place of permanent innovation, where new technologies allow us to set the bar of quality ever higher.
Always searching for saddlery excellence, all the parts of our saddlery are handmade. At Arion, there is no mass production, as our custom-made pieces are made on demand.
This allows us to have a permanent control on the quantity of raw material we need. Thus, there is no leather panel lost or damaged due to long storage.
The fact that our workshop is very close to our company also gives us the possibility to control the quality at any time. Therefore, if you are waiting for your custom-made saddle, we can tell you exactly where it is in the production process and how long it will take for our workshop to finish.

Adapted to your horse’s morphology
For your next saddle, why not choose a saddle made in France and custom-made? At Arion, we offer products based on a search for optimal comfort for you and your horse.
We believe that, to be ideal, a saddle must be forgotten. By making it to measure, a saddle made in France becomes perfectly adapted to your horse’s morphology.
- Forget the pressure points caused by a standard size saddle,
- Do away with seats that are too short or too long,
- Adapt the size of the saddle flaps to the size of your legs for more comfort.
By choosing an Arion saddle, you are investing in your comfort as well as your performance on horseback. Indeed, thanks to comfortable equipment that does not hinder your horse, it will be able to move freely and express all its qualities. A custom-made saddle made in France will allow your horse to regain its suppleness and body elasticity in the three disciplines of classical riding.
