Tradition in Every Stitch. Innovation in Every Fit.
From leather choice to perfect fitting, every saddle is shaped around your vision and your ride.
PERFORMANCE AND CONFORT
At Stella, performance and comfort are inseparable. Each saddle is designed to create perfect harmony between horse and rider — a balance that allows freedom of movement, precision of aids, and confidence in every gesture.
From the tree’s geometry to the seat’s balance and padding, every element is shaped with purpose. Our craftsmen and fitters work together to ensure that each saddle enhances posture, stability, and feel.
The result is a riding experience where power meets fluidity, and where comfort supports performance — not the other way around.
Tooling — Handcrafted Detail
Tooling is the soul of Western craftsmanship, the language through which the artisan expresses their art.
At Stella, every pattern is entirely hand-tooled, one stroke at a time, with precision and intent. The floral curves, geometric motifs, and flowing lines are not decoration alone, they are the signature of human touch.
This ancient technique requires patience, rhythm, and sensitivity to leather. Each saddle becomes a unique canvas that reflects both the identity of its rider and the emotion of the craftsman who brought it to life.
Leather — Selected for Excellence
Everything begins with the leather — the living material that gives strength, beauty, and soul to each saddle.
We select only premium hides, chosen for their natural grain, density, and durability. Each one is tanned and finished through processes that preserve its flexibility and depth of color.
Our craftsmen cut and shape the leather by hand, respecting its texture and direction. Over time, it molds perfectly to horse and rider, developing a patina that tells their shared story — a blend of craftsmanship and authenticity that only true leather can offer.
Silver — Engraved by Hand
Silverwork at Stella follows the same philosophy as our saddles: no shortcuts, no compromise.
Every Sterling Silver concho, horn, and plate is engraved by hand using traditional tools, where each stroke defines depth, light, and texture. This meticulous process gives every piece its own personality and a sense of timeless refinement.
Our engraved silver is not simply an ornament.
It’s a testament to the patience and mastery of the artisans who shape it. A final touch of light that crowns the saddle and elevates its presence in and out of the arena.
Fitting — Built Around You
A Stella saddle is never just an object; it’s the result of a dialogue between craftsmanship and experience.
Our fitting process begins with understanding the horse’s anatomy and the rider’s needs. Our commercial team works directly with riders in the field to take precise measurements and assess balance, pressure points, and alignment.
Each saddle is then shaped and adjusted in the workshop to create a perfect connection one that respects biomechanics, improves performance, and ensures long-term comfort.
Behind every saddle stands a team of experts, riders, and craftsmen united by one goal: harmony between horse, rider, and craft.
