Founded in 1968 by Philippe Guillot de Suduiraut in Deauville, Normandy, Macel Sellier revolutionized equestrian sports with its innovative concept of thin, lightweight saddles featuring a flexible tree. Designed for close contact, these saddles offered riders enhanced connection and feel with their horses.
In 2008, Patrick Fesquet—who had worked in the Macel workshop since 1987 and was a student of Mr. Guillot de Suduiraut—took over the brand, continuing its legacy of technical refinement and craftsmanship. Today, he applies his extensive expertise to develop saddles that promote both performance and horse welfare, ensuring a balanced and healthy riding experience.
Macel Sellier remains committed to 100% French manufacturing, preserving the country’s renowned saddlery tradition. Each saddle is crafted from start to finish by a single artisan, guaranteeing exceptional quality control and deep product knowledge. This dedication not only maintains the prestige of French saddlery but also protects its unique craftsmanship from outsourcing pressures.
Every Macel saddle is fully custom-made, tailored to the horse’s locomotion and the rider’s biomechanics. By taking precise static and dynamic measurements, Macel ensures a perfect fit, offering riders a saddle designed to enhance their riding while respecting the horse’s natural movement. Choosing Macel means choosing expertise, innovation, and a legacy of excellence in equestrian sport.
