OUR ENGAGEMENTS
CREATING A RESPONSIBLE RIDING
Together, let's invent responsible horse riding every day
Together, let's invent responsible horse riding every day
By becoming a Mission-Driven Company, we have taken on the challenge of inventing responsible horse riding together, every day. And of turning this concept into a dream and this dream into reality.
Horse-centric by nature, the LIM group relies on its comprehensive approach to meet this challenge. Riding & Leather, Health & Science, Horseshoeing—all of the group's entities give back to horses what they owe them.
Putting horses at the heart of our commitments must be translated into action.
There can be no responsible horse riding without proof, without action, without vision.
On the Riding & Leather side , innovation in the service of harmony between rider and horse is expressed through high-end, tailor-made equipment, saddlery expertise, research into locomotion, and the requirement for vegetable-tanned leather. The eco-design of products and the improvement of living conditions for breeders in the Filière Excellence Cuir de Nouvelle-Aquitaine (New Aquitaine Leather Excellence Sector) make this responsible horse riding tangible.
On the Health & Science side , the determination of laboratories, veterinarians, and engineers, combined with scientific expertise in sports data, works closely with the veterinary ecosystem to treat, prevent, and train, in the service of the horse's long-term health.
In Horseshoeing
, la
the science of movement is tailored to support each horse's locomotion, adjust its footing, and prevent long-term strain.
Finally, in general, it is the sharing of all our knowledge with our partners and customers, the riders, that enables this responsible equestrianism to flourish every day.
For, with, and thanks to horses.
RIDING & LEATHER
Equipping the rider-horse partnership
Our teams think about horses day and night to design products that are suited to the rider-horse partnership, while respecting our ecosystem
Magali Maurizot Kur,
Managing Director Albion, Butet, CWD, Delgrange, Devoucoux, Lariot, Saddle Choice, Tanneries de Chamont, and Fonte Velha
The Riding & Leather division develops equipment at the crossroads of craftsmanship, innovation, and sustainability, designed to support performance while respecting horses and their environment.
Custom-made and sustainable products: eco-designed saddles and accessories that are repairable and built to last thanks to interchangeable parts.
Responsible leather: 100% vegetable tanning using natural extracts (quebracho, mimosa, and chestnut), reduced water consumption, and waste recovery through recycling and upcycling.
European roots: supplies mainly sourced from Europe and support for the Filière d'Excellence Cuir en Nouvelle-Aquitaine (FECNA).
