CWD is a leader in modern French saddlery, known for precision craftsmanship, rider balance, and a refined close-contact feel. The brand blends traditional leatherwork with thoughtful design so horse and rider move as one—whether training at home or competing in the show ring.
CWD prioritizes balance, feel, and shoulder freedom, helping riders maintain a secure, effective position without bulk. Premium leathers, careful panel design, and consistent build quality make CWD a favorite with professionals and dedicated 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 mold 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. Each piece is made to break in—not break down—so your tack gains character while staying ring-ready.
Well-shaped panels and ergonomic girths help distribute pressure and support 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 gait.

Why do riders choose CWD craftsmanship?
CWD combines refined French leatherwork with a close-contact feel that supports balance, communication and comfort. Premium hides, precise stitching and rider-focused design deliver reliability in training and in the show ring.
Do you offer CWD saddles in the US?
We occasionally list a curated selection of pre-owned CWD saddles for US customers, along with bridlework, stirrup leathers and girths. Availability varies; for brand-new saddles, please check with official CWD retailers in your area.
How can I select the right fit in a pre-owned CWD saddle?
Start with seat size and flap length suited to your build, then consider tree width and panel configuration for your horse’s back and shoulder freedom. Contact us for measurements and panel details—we’ll help narrow options, and we recommend confirming final fit with your saddle fitter.
What’s the best way to care for CWD leatherwork?
After each ride, wipe down tack, clean periodically with gentle saddle soap and condition lightly when the leather feels dry. Avoid excess oil, direct sun or high heat, and store saddles on supportive racks while hanging bridles and leathers to maintain shape and color.
