Mission

 

Innovation. Craftsmanship. Sustainability.

We commit to innovation and service excellence so that the well-being of your horse is the foundation for you to build a true partnership and do what seemed impossible.

For more than 130 years, Stübben has combined traditional craftsmanship with forward-thinking innovation — always with one clear goal: to create a partnership between horse and rider. Every product, every service, every detail is driven by our passion for the horse and by our responsibility to people, animals, and the planet.

 

A Partnership Built on Well-Being

At Stübben, the well-being of your horse is at the heart of everything we do.
We believe true partnership begins with understanding and respect — for the horse’s comfort, the rider’s needs, and the natural world that connects them.

Our saddles are designed to support balance, performance, and freedom of movement, so you and your horse can achieve what once seemed impossible — together.

To ensure this harmony, we work closely with leading experts across equestrian disciplines, including specialists in anatomy, biomechanics, veterinary science, and equine training.

Their insights help us refine every detail — from tree design to panel construction — ensuring that each Stübben saddle truly supports the horse’s physical and emotional well-being.

 

Craftsmanship with Purpose

Each Stübben saddle is handcrafted in Germany by experienced master saddlers who combine generations of knowledge with modern technology. Every cut, every stitch, and every choice of material reflects our uncompromising standards of quality and durability.

But craftsmanship alone is not enough — we believe in craftsmanship with purpose.
That means:

sourcing responsibly tanned leathers from certified suppliers who follow sustainable and ethical practices,
choosing materials that are long-lasting, repairable, and recyclable,
continually reducing waste and emissions throughout our production, and
generating our own renewable energy through solar panels installed on our workshop roofs.



By producing our own solar energy, we significantly reduce our carbon footprint and ensure that our production process reflects the same integrity and responsibility that define our products.

Our commitment to sustainability is not a trend — it’s a natural evolution of what Stübben has always stood for: respect for the horse, respect for the rider, and respect for the resources that make our craft possible.

 

Innovation for a Better Future

We are continuously exploring new materials, digital tools, and design methods that help us improve saddle fit, enhance performance, and extend product lifespan.
By integrating technology such as 3D scanning and digital saddle fitting solutions, we can provide a more precise, data-driven service while reducing the need for unnecessary material use or transportation.

Sustainability also means building products that last — saddles that can be maintained, repaired, and cherished for decades instead of replaced.

 

Service, Experience, and Responsibility

With more than a century of expertise, we know that every rider, every horse, and every journey is unique.
Our global team of Stübben fitters, advisors, and craftsmen share one philosophy: to offer honest guidance, reliable service, and products that truly make a difference.

Our vision goes beyond the arena. We aim to inspire a community that values empathy, balance, and sustainability — where performance and responsibility go hand in hand.

 

Join the Movement Toward Sustainable Excellence

When you choose Stübben, you become part of a tradition that honors both innovation and integrity.
Together, we can shape the future of equestrian sport — one that celebrates excellence, preserves craftsmanship, and protects the world we ride in.

At the heart of this vision lies our unwavering commitment to the well-being of the horse. Every Stübben product is designed to respect the horse’s natural movement, comfort, and individuality — because true performance can only grow from harmony and care.
