Handmade saddles · Made in Italy
“Every saddle we make is more than a product: it is an extension of the bond between horse and rider.”
Riccardo Volpi
Our brands
Four brands, one saddlery. Each brand answers a different way of riding, from western saddles to treeless.
Two souls, one passion
Freeform treeless saddles and custom western saddles: two worlds sharing the same workshop and the same care for leather.
Quality
Finest raw materials, selected to give you true quality craftsmanship.
Made in Italy
An American saddle, built with the excellence that defines Made in Italy.
Customisation
We are the only company in Italy building fully custom made-to-measure saddles.
Made to measure
How a custom saddle is born
Every saddle starts from the horse and the rider, not from a catalogue. The path is always the same: measure, choose, build, carve.
01
Measuring the horse
Back templates and wither assessment to select the correct tree.
02
Rider position
Seat size and stirrup placement for a comfortable, communicative position.
03
Choice of materials
Italian vegetable-tanned or American pit-tanned leather, seat hides and conchos.
04
Hand tooling
Over 150 tooling patterns — basket, flowers and arabesque — drawn and carved by our saddle makers.

Saddles fresh out of the workshop, and the horses and riders using them: the day-to-day story of our work.
Talent, passion and love for beautiful things are what set the originality of the “Le Selle Italiane” style apart
