Product Description

The Classic Total Contact Saddle is a fully flexible treeless saddle which offers unparallelled freedom for your horse and unbeatable comfort for you – the closest thing to riding bareback, but with stirrups. Placing the horse and rider in total contact with each other, it creates a unified riding experience and bond. The perfect saddle for horses who are hard to fit a conventional saddle to, and for riders who seek greater connection with their horse.

Unlike other treeless saddles which can feel bulky and wide or traditional saddles with rigid trees, the Premium Total Contact Saddle is light, minimalist in design, hugs your horse’s natural shape, allowing unrestricted movement of the shoulders and back muscles. No reflocking, no refitting, no more saddle fitting troubles. Just a consistently comfortable and unrestricted ride for horses of all shapes
and sizes- from Shetland to Shire.

Riders use their Total Contact Saddles for pleasure hacking, endurance racing, show jumping, dressage, cross country schooling and even horseback archery; our saddle is the perfect partner for all your ridden activities.

Made in the UK

Fully crafted and hand-finished in Kent with UK-sourced materials. Made with durable high-grade English Shoulder leather and English stainless steel new design "swing bars" stirrup bars and English metalwork for the D-rings. A truly British product.

Colours and Finishes

Crafted from English Shoulder leather, it is slightly thinner than the Premium Total Contact Saddle, more highly oiled and is available in Jet Black and Havana Brown.

See all leathers close up in our TCS Leather Types gallery.

Billet Length

The Premium Total Contact Saddle can be made for you with Long or Short billets (girth straps). For more information on billet length options, please watch the video below or consult our Billet Length Guide for more detailed information.

Fitting and Padding Advice

For fitting and padding advice, please read our TCS Placement, Padding and Girthing Guide as well as our other TCS User Guides for general information.

Saddle Care

Wipe down your saddle with a damp cloth, then use Lincoln Glycerine Tub Soap or Lincoln Glycerine Spray Soap for a deeper clean. Use Lincoln’s Superior Leather Balsam to hydrate deeply and create a barrier against wear and tear. Apply with a sponge in light layers and allow it to soak in. Make sure to gently clean and condition the underside, too—especially after sweaty rides or wet conditions.

Billets and girth straps take constant tension. A touch of Superior Leather Balsam helps maintain pliability in these high-stress areas, preventing cracking before it starts.

Ensure that your saddle is stored in a damp-free place and not put away in anything other than a dry condition. Use a breathable cover, if any, and keep your saddle in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing in direct sunlight or over radiators—heat is leather’s worst enemy.

For further information on care and storage, please consult our Saddle Care Guide.

Had the tcs since may and so far its been used on 2 ponies.
Pops - 13.2 welsh pony who doesnt have an issue with the saddle she has but thought why not give it a go. She went phenominaly!!! Really made it so her back was completly free feeling and open. The work she gave us was just beutiful nice relaxed and working her whole body.
Blue - 12.2ish mini cob with the shortest back possible and a little round. My little 5 year old whoes only been sat on/ started properly backing july. In only a week we have achived coming of the lunge, riding independantly and hacking. Ive found the saddle so comfy so far and easy to use. I knew id struggle finding a saddle to fit him and me (im 4'11 at 23) but i have to say i am so impressed with the feeling this saddle gives you amd the quality. 🥰🥰 xxx

Sadly,although this should be a good solution for my horse, it really doesn'tsuit him and he was unhappy with it in spite of different padding options.

After months of napping, vet investigations, teeth checks and 2 different saddle fitters to check saddle I decided to try a TCS. Day 2 I took her out on a hack, she left the yard in front of her stable mate and didn’t nap once - first time in almost 12 months. Replicated the next day. I feel secure and comfortable and am so relieved to have found something that works. Her movement feels free and easy.

Absolutely love it! My old boy is so free in his movement with this - super happy pony - hes a cob so wide and covered so didnt need much padding and it wasnt too different from riding in his wintec, but as he is getting sway backed with age, suited him better! Much more relaxed pony!
