Quality new and used Western & English saddles and bridles
Founded in 1894, the Stubben company is family owned. The German company has survived traumatic events in its long history, and has grown to worldwide recognition. Stübben has always emphasized research and has remained at the forefront of technology. The result is that Stübben offers a tree like no other. Ultimately, the Stübben tree is designed for the horse first. It acts as both the frame and the engine. As the frame, it holds the saddle together and withstands the weight of the rider. As the engine, it allows the saddle to become one with the motion of the horse. The Stübben tree is unique, complex and difficult to produce – but in use it is unbeatable.
Stübben is dedicated to manufacturing quality handcrafted saddles. Various parts of a Stübben saddle are still hand stitched such as the seat, the panel and the billets. This ensures a long-lasting quality product. The same criteria is applied to all Stübben bridles and leather products. The work will always carry the signature of the maker and will be unique.
Saddles and Bridles Blog
Horseback riding and showing is a dream that many of us have from when we were little. There is something about these magnificent animals that grabs the heart and mind and never lets go. This site is about horses, riding, enjoying, showing, and buying equipment for. A little of everything for the horse lover in all of us, whether we're currently owned by an equine or not. One goal of this blog is to point you toward good selections of new and used English and Western tack : horse and pony saddles, bridles and cavessons. Equipment is expensive, especially the good stuff. Most of the top of the line saddlery is beyond the budget of most of us, but our four-legged friends deserve the best we can get. That means checking out the used saddle market for top quality horse tack by Hennig, Stubben, Passoa, Crosby, Reinsman, Circle Y, etc., and of course many custom made pieces by well known saddle artisans. It's better to buy a first-rate used saddle than a badly made, poor-quality new one. Your horse will thank you!
