The story of Roberto Rasia and Erreplus

In search of the Perfect Match

Roberto Rasia

A horse, a rider, the right saddle: the perfect match. A story written for horses by riders.

This is the vision that inspires Roberto Rasia, founder of Erreplus a man who has dedicated his life to forging a deep connection between horse and rider. His passion has deep roots in the hills of the Agno Valley in Veneto, where, as a child, he explored the world with the curiosity and respect of someone raised in close contact with nature.

The son of a pioneering leather chemist in the modern saddle industry, Roberto grew up surrounded by the scent of tanned leather and a spirit of innovation. Yet, it was his devotion to horses that truly guided his path. At just five years old, riding his first pony, a love was born that would shape his destiny. Every ride, every jump, every competition was a step towards a dream: to create products that honour the horse, enhance its qualities, and offer the rider the perfect tool to communicate with their trusted companion.

After 25 years of experience in the family business, during which he refined both his technical and creative skills, Roberto felt the need to build something unique. In 2012, Erreplus was born a company that brings together Italian craftsmanship and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

A clear and ambitious mission: to craft saddles that respect the horse’s wellbeing, improve the rider’s performance, and can be customised to meet every need.

Each Erreplus saddle is a masterpiece of art and technique. The beating heart of the company is a passionate team of artisans, technicians, and professionals who share the same vision: to perfect the connection between horse and rider. Every detail is designed to ensure comfort, balance, and performance, never compromising the horse’s welfare.

Erreplus is more than a company; it is a workshop of ideas where innovation and tradition come together. Roberto Rasia has instilled his philosophy in Erreplus: “The finest craftsmanship, cutting-edge research, and the best materials all strictly Made in Italy.” This pioneering spirit is evident in every new collection, every small improvement, and every saddle that leaves the workshop to accompany a rider on their journey.

Today, Erreplus is recognised worldwide as a byword for quality, craftsmanship, and innovation. Erreplus saddles support some of the world’s top riders in the most demanding competitions, recently reaching the highest accolade: an Olympic medal.
But for Roberto and his team, success is not a destination it is a journey that continues every day, driven by a passion for horses and the desire to always do better.

Because an Erreplus saddle is not just a piece of equipment: it is the meeting point of two living beings moving as one. Roberto Rasia writes the story of Erreplus one saddle at a time, one rider at a time, one dream at a time realising the Perfect Match.
