Handcrafted with passion.

Horses have been a part of my everyday life for as long as I can remember – and that’s precisely why I can’t imagine life without them (and not just for me). I’ve especially loved Icelandic horses – and I’ve been for almost 20 years now!

Every horse is unique – and that’s exactly why I think every horse deserves unique equipment.

And not off-the-shelf or poor quality, but a unique, handcrafted piece. And that’s exactly what Melasól stands for! Quality and exclusivity are paramount – because your horse deserves only the best! As a trained saddler, I combine expertise with my creativity to design unique and custom-fit bridles and halters.

Of course, service is also my top priority: Whether you’re unsure about the color or size, I look forward to hearing from you! I also offer leather workshops where you can practice the craft yourself or learn important tips on proper leather care.

What do saddlers actually do?

I spoke to Azubi xtra magazine about my saddlery career and my award as 1st State Winner 2020 in the equestrian saddlery category.

Vocational training without borders

In 2019, I was able to complete an internship abroad at a saddlery in Selfoss, Iceland, through the “Vocational Training Without Borders” program. A newspaper article in the Aachen Chamber of Crafts newspaper reports on my Erasmus participation and the program that made this possible.
