With more than 70 years of combined experience as Master Saddlers, Rob Cullen and John Hartley have made the name of Black Country Saddles synonymous with innovation and quality throughout the equestrian world.

Extensive knowledge and understanding of saddle manufacture allows us to produce a range that can be fitted to all types of horses. Our saddlemakers work closely with the saddle fitters to ensure the best possible combination of fit for both horse and rider.


BCS Eloquence Dressage

Black Country Eloquence Dressage Saddle

The Eloquence Dressage saddle has proved to be the most popular dressage model in this range for whatever level you are riding. It offers a medium deep seat, giving stability without restriction and excellent centre of balance, knee rolls are of medium depth but can be custom built if required.

It is endorsed by Kirsty Mepham, Sydney 2000 Olympic Team Member, Claudia Tarlov, dressage rider and trainer, USA and Rob Oakley, Paralympic Team, Australia.

There is a wide selection of trees and panel options allow us to adapt the fit for all types of horses.

By adding an additional web point to the tree, the self-adjusting Girth System helps to stabilises the balance and the swing allows the billet to find the most natural girthing line.

“I first tried one on Dikkiloo and was so please with it, that I now have one for each of my horses” Kirsty Mepham

"My Eloquence offers my horses the best possible design to maximise their efforts in comfort during training and competition" Claudia Tarlov

BSC Ricochet Jumping

Black Country Ricochet Jumping Saddle

The Ricochet is an amalgamation of our two most popular jumping saddles, the Quantum and the Wexford.

It has a low profile square cantled seat and the aesthetic continental close-contact look sort after in the jumping world especially with the Hunter Jumpers, with the added benefit of wool flocking.

The panel and tree combination lends itself to many high wither profiles from hunt horses, thoroughbred eventers through to some of the more modern warmblood jumpers. Also available with an extra forward cut flap for taller riders.

"The vintage leather gave my new saddles that 'ready to go' feel, very comfy and secure" Louisa Milne Holme
