Who we are
We are a global brand manufacturer of riding equipment characterized by outstanding design and innovative technology. Our family-owned business is being led by the 5th generation and is operating for nearly 130 years.
We enjoy the highest reputation worldwide and our equipment is used by Olympic athletes as well as leisure riders. While the core products are made of leather, such as saddles, bridles, reins and girths, the portfolio has been extended over the years.
A great success has been the expansion of our product portfolio with the foundation of Stübben STEELtec in 2010. Since the beginning Stübben STEELtec is well known for its highly technical solutions in bits, spurs and stirrups. While being very competitive in pricing, the quality of our products is second to none.
Our mission is developing products that help both, horse and rider in their daily work and during competition.
