Join us for an exclusive day with Devoucoux, dedicated to the art and science of saddle fitting. Our local Devoucoux representative and professional fitter, Guillaume, will guide riders through the essentials of achieving optimal fit for both horse and rider—whether you own a horse or ride multiple mounts. Devoucoux’s beautifully balanced saddles are designed to accommodate a wide range of horses, making them an exceptional choice for many riders.

The experience begins with an intimate breakfast seminar, offering insight into the craftsmanship, technology, and considerations behind selecting the right saddle. Riders will then enjoy a 60-minute small-group lesson (4 max) riding in a brand-new Devoucoux saddle based on a personalized saddle selection survey. 

Before and after riding, relax in the viewing room with light refreshments and the opportunity to explore Devoucoux models up close. Non-riding guests are welcome.

Custom and select used saddle purchasing options will be available, with exclusive Devoucoux perks for Manhattan Riding Club guests. All details will be available onsite. If you’re unable to attend but interested in a saddle, please contact us to explore alternative options.

ABOUT DEVOUCOUX
Devoucoux is wholeheartedly dedicated to the partnership between horse and rider, and has been working to promote this since 1985. Their saddles and accessories require the expertise of six different trades (master crafts) within the saddlery profession. Cutting, preparing, assembling, putting together, machine stitching and hand stitching result in a harmonious balance – a constantly evolving savoir-faire that gives each saddle model elegance, expertise and comfort. Innovative by nature, they have no qualms about pairing up the latest technology with craftsmanship. Whether for D3D panels or veg-tanned leather, they are constantly investing in their process and research.
