Why riders choose Fryso®

Skilled and handmade horse saddles

Fryso saddles are made from pre-selected materials of English quality and craftsmanship. Our saddles are handmade in England by top-notch craftsmen. England is far ahead of other countries when it comes to horse saddles.

Quality from tradition

Traditionally, England is the quintessential horse country. We've chosen to utilize centuries of English knowledge and craftsmanship, combined with our experience and understanding of the anatomy of the Friesian horse. This has resulted in a saddle that offers both rider and horse exceptional comfort: the Fryso® saddle. Unique to the Fryso saddle is that it's made by a single saddler from start to finish. This guarantees consistent quality and allows us to incorporate all our customers' wishes into the saddle.

30 years of knowledge and experience

Fryso saddles are fitted with the utmost care for horses of all breeds. We fit them with full saddles, not trees, and the fit is assessed both while standing and in motion. This is the only way both horse and rider can fully benefit from these high-quality saddles.

Customized comfort for horse and rider

Anatomically shaped cushions with a wide cushion channel

The Fryso® saddle features extra-wide panels filled with 100% natural wool. These panels are anatomically shaped, ensuring a snug fit to the horse's back and optimally distributing the rider's weight over a larger surface area. This benefits the horse's back, allowing it to carry its rider with minimal strain. The wide panel channel ensures that the horse's lengthwise bending is not restricted.

Wooden, U-shaped tree

Each Fryso saddle type has a unique tree, ensuring a fit with its own characteristics. What all our trees and saddle types have in common is the wooden tree with a U-shaped gullet. A wooden tree naturally provides some cushioning in the saddle. The U-shape also offers a comfortable fit for broad-framed horses. All Fryso saddles are available in lengths from 16 inches to 18,5 inches and in tree sizes medium to XXW.

Space for expression

A thoughtful combination of the tree branches and the sweat flap design ensures optimal shoulder freedom. This allows horses to maximize the movement of their forelegs.

Exceptional features

Fryso® saddles are loved not only for their exceptional fit and excellent finish, but also for their exceptionally comfortable seat.

The Fryso seat is constructed with multiple layers for optimal comfort. The shape of the roll is selected during the fitting process by our specialist based on the rider's leg length, posture, and preferred position.

The icing on the cake is that the saddle can be fully customised with a variety of leathers and striking details.
