Antarès Saddlery, Saddle Makers Of Excellence

My first experience with Antarès Sellier was in 2010, close to the date I moved to Canada. I rode for a friend with two buffalo hide Antarès saddles and immediately fell in love with the brand.

Since they were founded in 2000 in France they have successfully risen to being one of the leading saddle makers in the industry and it's not hard to see why.

I love writing reviews on Antarès Sellier, from the beautiful leather they use for their products, to the feel of the saddles it's always the brand I turn to first if I need some new equipment.

Aside from his Equi-Fit boots my Grand Prix stallion Amorniek has been decked out in almost all Antarès tack since I got him.

Antarès Sellier Signature Flash Noseband Bridle

My Antares bridle is one that I keep for showing my stallion; you can see and feel from the moment you put your hand on it that it's a top-class bridle. If you're a rider who likes quality leather goods for your horse this is a bridle you should add to your equipment.

This'll be the bridle's 5th show season and it still looks fantastic, it's products like this that make them one of the best saddle makers in France, and for the quality you get for the price, nothing comes close.

Features:

• Flash noseband, padded anatomic headpiece

• Fancy stitched, padded noseband and browband

• Stainless steel fittings

• High-quality buffalo leather

Antarès Signature Breastplate

I have two of these, the one I use for riding at home is an older model but still cleans up really well, the second one I only bring to shows.

Both breastplates you can adjust the length quite a bit which makes it perfect if you want to use it on different-sized horses. There's also room to punch more holes if you need to.

Features:

• Premium-quality, supple leather that is both durable and comfortable for the horse.

• Adjustable Design: ensures a secure and comfortable fit, no matter the horse's size or shape.

• Stainless Steel Hardware: rust-resistant and durable

• Padding: providing additional comfort and protection.

• Elegant Design: sleek and elegant design

Antarès Sellier Signature Stud Girth

Another item in my arsenal is their stud guard. This thing has taken a beating in the years I've had it but it still looks fantastic and the color matches my other Antarès Sellier gear. It cleans up really well so I doubt I'll have to buy another one for a long time.

Features:

• Anatomic fit.

• Protection from studs during competition and training.

• Removable lining for cleaning.

• Large center snap for training aids or martingale.
