Butet Sellier

Some saddles are made. Butet saddles are composed. Since 1986, Butet has defined what it means to pursue beautiful riding, crafting minimalist, elegant saddles from the workshops of Saumur, France, home of the legendary École Nationale d'Équitation. For over 30 years, riders who demand the finest have turned to Butet for a saddle that offers something rare: true harmony between horse and rider.

At The In Gate, we are proud to be an official Butet authorized dealer and expert saddle fitter, bringing this storied French maison to riders across the United States.

La Haute Sellerie, Since 1986

Butet is not simply a saddle brand; it is a philosophy. The brand's "horse-rider" approach epitomizes lightness, close contact, and a way of riding that reflects an entire lifestyle: harmonious. Each saddle is assembled from 90 individual parts, shaped by hands guided by patience and refinement, and finished to a standard that has earned Butet the prestigious French Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant label — a recognition reserved for companies that embody France's finest living heritage craftsmanship.

The result is a saddle bearing Butet's signature saffron and chocolate colors that offer the fastest and finest means to the timeless promise of beautiful riding.

Craftsmanship You Can Feel

At the heart of every Butet saddle is exceptional leather and an unequalled finish. The close contact and lightness that define the Butet riding experience are not accidents; they are the product of decades of refinement, carried out in bright workshops in Saumur by artisans who find a way to be better every day. When you ride in a Butet, the saddle disappears beneath you. What remains is connection.
