CWD is a leader in modern French saddlery, known for precision craftsmanship, rider balance and a refined close-contact feel. Their workshop approach blends traditional leatherwork with thoughtful design so horse and rider move as one—whether schooling at home or competing on show day.
CWD prioritises balance, feel and freedom of the shoulder, helping riders maintain a secure, effective position without bulk. Premium leathers, careful panel design and consistent build quality make CWD a favourite among professionals and ambitious amateurs alike.
From jump models with supportive, unobtrusive blocks to dressage designs that promote stability and straightness, CWD saddles are engineered to distribute pressure evenly and encourage relaxed, forward movement. Quality calfskin and grain leathers mould in with use for that “disappears under you” feel.
Beyond the saddle, CWD bridlework, stirrup leathers and girths carry the same hallmarks: supple hides, clean stitching and durable, workmanlike finishes. Pieces are designed to wear in—not out—so your tack develops character while remaining ready for the ring.
Well-shaped panels and ergonomic girths help distribute pressure and promote lift through the topline. For the rider, carefully profiled flaps and knee support encourage a natural leg, quiet hands and consistent contact, improving communication at every pace.
Explore our curated selection of new and pre-owned CWD saddles alongside bridlework, stirrup leathers and girths. We offer friendly, rider-led advice and fast dispatch, making it easy to equip your horse with top-tier French tack.

Do you sell both new and pre-owned CWD saddles?
Yes—our range includes new and carefully inspected pre-owned CWD saddles alongside bridlework, stirrup leathers and girths. Each used saddle is assessed for tree integrity, stitching and leather condition so you can shop with confidence.
How do I choose the correct CWD saddle size and fit?
Match seat size and flap configuration to your proportions, and select a tree width and panel set-up that suits your horse’s back and shoulder. If you’re unsure, contact us for sizing guidance or a fitting consultation and we’ll help shortlist suitable options.
How should I care for CWD leatherwork?
Wipe down after each ride, clean with a mild saddle soap as needed and condition sparingly to keep leather supple. Avoid over-oiling, direct heat and prolonged sunlight; store saddles on supportive racks and hang bridles and leathers to maintain shape and colour.
