Luc ChildEric
Being passionate about the equestrian world, Luc Childéric embarked on becoming an established master saddler in 1978.
In 1991, he created the `Manufacture Childeric` which produces and markets beautiful and bespoke, made to measure, saddles. It is by being in constant contact with sport horses and their riders that Luc forged, and obtained, his expert eye. When watching horses moving freely he understood the necessity of making a saddle that would enable the horse to move as loosely and unrestrainedly as possible.
He creates a variety of saddle styles that allow the riders to achieve a perfect balance between equilibrium and comfort. They are made to free the horses’ movements and actions, and are designed for all equestrian disciplines. Riders then discover that working with their horse is much more about giving than receiving and their communication becomes as graceful as a dance.
