Purpose
Ipotane is driven by a simple yet powerful vision: crafting premium saddles that prioritize safety and comfort for both horse and rider, forging a true athletic partnership.
Founded by Bradley Whale, an esteemed equine and human osteopath with extensive expertise in equine biomechanics, Ipotane emerged from a long-standing issue: traditional saddles fail to meet the unique requirements of both horse and rider.
After years of dedicated problem-solving, Bradley developed a revolutionary solution—a hybrid saddle that combines flexibility for the horse's comfort with stability for the rider's safety. Each saddle is meticulously custom-measured and custom-fitted, harmonizing with the intricate physics of riding and unlocking unparalleled performance.
Craft
We partner with masterful leather crafters to create extraordinary saddles. With their unmatched skill and meticulous craftsmanship, our artisans bring the saddle to life, so you can start your journey.
Every saddle is a testament to their expertise, combining timeless elegance with unrivaled durability. Working hand in hand, we deliver an exceptional riding experience for passionate equestrians.

We strive to engineer saddles that revolutionise performance and comfort. Our team of experts push the limits of design, blending cutting-edge technology with traditional craftwork.
Through innovative materials, ergonomic features, and rigorous testing, we optimize the connection between horse and rider. Our saddles provide unrivalled support, balance, and security, empowering you and your horse, to excel in the saddle.
