About

The aim of Thuillier Saddlery is to provide an efficient rural saddlery service with a strong emphasis on sustainability. Hand made goods, high quality local produce and repairs. 


My name is Ryan Thuillier I am based in the countryside near the village of Alunda, 30 km northeast of Uppsala. I grew up in Co Cork, Ireland, spending all my time outside of school riding ponies and horses. 


I have studied Equine Management (HND) at the Welsh Agricultural College in Aberystwyth, Wales (1993-1996). Soon after my graduation I began training to become a saddler / harness maker at various training centre's in England (Bury St. Edmunds, Salisbury and Walsall College of Art & Technology). I have also worked alongside experienced saddlers in Newmarket, Suffolk, England in a commercial workshop enviroment. 

Ryan Thuillier is with John Francome (left) & Steve Smith Eccles (right) at Newmarket Rowley Mile Racecourse (both retired ex professional English jump jockeys) in 2003. This was a great moment for Ryan to analyse & discuss his own racing saddles with two true legends of the steeplechasing world.
