TheTackGuide visits Europe’s top saddlemakers to provide saddle buyers around the world with unbiased advice about Europe‘s best saddlemakers. We have visited many English saddlemaking workshops in our quest, and have recently visited an established family saddle making company in Walsall, England who we now believe make the very best dressage saddles currently available anywhere in the world, plus some superb close-contact jumping saddles…CARDANEL SADDLES LTD Walsall is a busy town in the heart of the bustling West Midlands area of the UK, which has for centuries been the heart of leathergoods and saddle manufacture, near to the leather tanning areas in the nearby ‘Black Country’ of England, located close to natural water sources essential for the leather tanning process. The particular Saddlemaker we are featuring has been established as a family concern in Walsall for many years, and are proud to be members of the Master Saddlers Federation. On entering their small, bustling workshops, you are immediately aware of the noise and buzz of enthusiasm of a team of dedicated master craftsmen and craftswomen, all carrying out diverse skills required in the saddlemaking process, under the guidance of the Lowbridge brothers. Cardanel saddles are hand-made in the traditional way…on the bench… to a meticulous standard, using the very best European leathers all carefully selected by Carl Lowbridge, one of the MDs of the business, with every saddle getting a final check-over also by Carl, as a matter of course, thus ensuring optimum quality control. Although their saddles have always been made predominantly for export, the name CARDANEL is maybe not as well known in the global riding markets as some other English saddle brands, but Cardanel saddles are in great demand worldwide, as most are branded for some very well-known saddlery names in Europe and in the USA. |
