Made in Guldental: The Making of Bruno
Crafted with meticulous detail, built with robust workmanship, and infused with a unique charm that instantly evokes dusty arenas and wide-open fields.
Because here, it’s not just the ride that matters – it’s the style too. And Bruno delivers.
Bruno – the Working Equitation bull, all heart and horns
Imagine the sun dipping low, hooves crunching in the sand. And there he stands – Bruno. Poised to challenge you, to sharpen your technique, and to carry himself with unmistakable presence.
Bruno isn’t just a training bull. He’s the outcome of countless hours in the workshop, of air thick with wood dust, and of the steady rhythm of hammer and plane. Piece by piece, he came to life in Guldental – born of an idea, a passion, and a spark of Western spirit.
Now he’s nearly ready: the solid base is awaiting its final coat of paint, the precision laser mount for the Garrocha ring is being fitted – and soon, the stage is set for Bruno.

Handcrafted at its best – Made in Guldental
The Paddle
The best fascia and massage tool for horses and people!
With care and dedication, handcrafted in my workshop in Guldental.
Made in Guldental may still be in its early days, but it already carries plenty of passion, Western charm, and a true love for the craft.
The eye rides along too – and there’s much more to come!
Handcrafted at its best.
Using the Paddle
Select the notch that best fits the body part of your horse. Start with gentle pressure and always stroke in the direction of the coat. Repeat this process three times, gradually increasing the pressure—always in a way that feels comfortable for your horse.
Pay close attention to your horse’s reactions. If it tries to move away or shows signs of tension, reduce the pressure and work on three main areas: the forehand, the torso, and the hindquarters.
Important: Over bony structures, glide with minimal or no pressure!
Quality & Craftsmanship
This paddle is made from high-quality, solid multiplex beech wood. It is both sturdy and flexible, yet pleasantly lightweight. The ergonomically shaped curves ensure a comfortable grip.
With a size for the medium Paddle of 13 x 33.5 cm and a weight of 198 g, it is particularly easy to handle. The carefully rounded edges and the natural linseed oil finish make it durable and pleasant to use.
Handcrafted with love in my workshop in Guldental, Germany.
