🤍 Meet Angela Langen

 

Founder of Maxflex USA | Saddle Fitter | Horse Advocate

 

Ask Angela Langen anything about saddles or saddle fitting, and her eyes light up — not just with expertise, but with genuine passion.

 

Angela delights in exploring the smallest design details — explaining how each choice affects the comfort, balance, and performance of both horse and rider. Her deep knowledge comes from over 25 years of hands-on experience combined with a focused study of equine anatomy and biomechanics.

  

Angela co-founded the original Maxflex Saddle Company in Germany in 2008, and later brought the brand to North America in 2017. With a background as a veterinary technician and experience working with treeless saddle systems, her journey to Maxflex was rooted in both care and curiosity. But it was as an entrepreneur on a mission that she truly found her calling.

 

Though she remains closely connected to the Maxflex brand in Germany, Angela now leads the independent U.S.-based Maxflex Saddles, headquartered in Aiken, South Carolina — a thriving equestrian town known for dressage, eventing, jumpers, polo, and fox hunting.

 

🧠 Classic Principles, Modern Performance

Angela brings a rare, rider-first perspective to saddle design in today’s often profit-driven industry. She deeply values traditional methods of craftsmanship — even when they take longer — believing some steps in the saddle-making process are essential to long-term comfort and should never be skipped.

 

At the same time, she embraces modern materials where they offer clear advantages. Her approach is to blend the best of classic and contemporary — creating saddles that are as elegant as they are ergonomic.

 

💬 A Saddle Fitter Who Truly Cares

Angela’s approach goes far beyond simply making the sale. Her process includes:

1. A thoughtful, personalized evaluation of horse and rider

2. A methodical fitting process tailored to the biomechanics of both

3. Ongoing aftercare and service — ensuring the fit evolves with your horse over time

Whether you’re working with her in person or through a remote consultation, you’ll experience something rare: a level of care and dedication that’s personal, passionate, and professional.

 

Angela Langen is a woman on a mission —
revolutionizing the comfort and performance of sport horses, one rider and one horse at a time.
