Tech 1 Saddles & Tack | Emmers Equestrian
Tech 1 is a Belgian saddle brand based in Waregem, brought to market by Erreplus to offer the same design thinking at a more accessible price than Erreplus's own top-tier saddles. The range covers dressage, jumping, all-purpose, and pony saddles, built on an adjustable fiber tree with genuine wool-flocked panels and double leather for grip and durability.
That adjustable tree is the practical feature worth knowing about: it lets a saddle fitter change the width to suit your horse rather than you needing a different saddle as shape changes with fitness or season. Positioned as the more affordable sibling to a premium parent brand, Tech 1 suits riders who want that same design approach without stretching to Erreplus's higher-end pricing.
The right saddle is essential for your horse’s comfort, freedom of movement and performance, and its fit can change as your horse’s shape and fitness develop. Whether you’re choosing a new saddle or checking your current one, discover the Emmers Equestrian Saddle Fitting Service for expert advice tailored to both horse and rider.
Tips for Choosing
- Choose dressage, jump, or all-purpose based on your actual discipline; the seat depth and flap cut differ between models, so match the saddle to how you ride rather than to price alone.
- Have the adjustable tree width set and checked by a qualified saddle fitter, since the adjustability is only useful if it's correctly fitted to your horse to start with.
- If you're moving up from a basic saddle, expect the step up here to show in panel quality and tree adjustability rather than in flashy extras.
- Check the knee block and flap options on the jump model, since several sizes and lengths are available to suit different leg lengths and riding styles.
- Confirm current sizing and stock before deciding on a specific model, since availability on individual sizes can be limited.
