I have delayed writing a review as I purchased 2 TCS then put them in the spare room whilst my daughter's rode their Fell ponies bareback. Over the last couple of weeks we have been using the saddles once or twice a week. I spent ages starting at photos to make sure I was positioning the saddle right and I think, now I understand which part of a conventional saddle it imitates, the positioning is spot on. With a polypad and a Shires Arms fleece half pad the ponies don't seems to realise they have a saddle on. The saddle in turn gives my daughters confidence as they have stirrups but both comment that they can still feel their ponies moving. Both girls have a lovely saddle position and both ponies are moving beautifully. My back lady also praised the TCS for the shoulder clearance they give my sticky little ponies. I would heartily recommend for anyone who's pony is their best friend.

I have used the TCS for over a year. I love it. I decided to add the seat pad and it only got better! More comfortable with a little more security on changing terrain.

I don't normally do reviews. I have a round, short-backed cob and have been using the leather TCS for 2 years now. After increasing our fitness and our last ride being 2 hours I found my back was aching so decided to try the seat. Because he would be a 15 inch saddle, I thought the children's smaller saddle might be best. It was received very quickly but, unfortunately, too small, so I contacted TCS to ask to return it under the 14 day trial. I had an immediate response even though it was a Saturday. I then ordered the Equisuede Original seat in normal size and it arrived again 2 days later. On Sunday we rode for 2 hours again and I had no pain at all. It is so comfortable and I found rising trot to be so much easier, I love it and would definitely recommend. I can't fault the company, immediate return of my money and great delivery and excellent product. Thank you for making my riding a pleasure again x
