Founded in 1991 in Walsall, the traditional heart of saddle making in England – Silhouette Saddlery has built it’s reputation on creating bespoke saddles that unite heritage with innovation.
From our workshop, we supply riders across the globe, trusted by distributors in Europe, the USA, and beyond.


At the heart of Silhouette Saddlery is our Walsall workshop, where tradition and modern techniques come together.
Here, every saddle is made to order – using carefully selected leathers and a wood laminate tree for flexibility, strength, and comfort.
From first measurement to final polish, every stage is carried out under one roof by skilled hands – ensuring consistency, precision, and the unmistakable quality that defines a Silhouette saddle.
Silhouette Saddlery was established by Michael Poole, who began his apprenticeship in 1972 and has since become a master of his craft.
With over 50 years of experience, Mike’s philosophy has always been simple: keep learning, keep refining, and never compromise on the relationship between horse and rider.
Today, the business remains firmly in family hands, with two of Mike’s sons now accomplished saddle makers themselves — carrying forward the tradition and values at the heart of Silhouette Saddlery.
