Product Description

The Synthetic 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 synthetic (vegan) 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

Unlike the Classic Total Contact Saddle and Premium Total Contact Saddle, the Synthetic Total Contact Saddle is made of vegan, man-made synthetic leather and is available in Jet Black and Chocolate 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

Your synthetic saddle couldn't be easier to look after. Just wipe down with a sponge or a soft cloth dampened with warm water to lift dust and debris. Then use a synthetic-safe tack cleaner, such as Lincoln's Synthetic Tack Cleaner. Apply with a tack sponge or a damp cloth and rinse thoroughly.

Ensure that your saddle is stored in a damp-free place and not put away in anything other than a dry condition.

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

After reading up a lot about this saddle and following the conversations in the Facebook group, I had to try it for myself and my hard to fit Irish Cob.
I am so happy that I did. Getting on the first time, it immediately felt right. Different, but right. My mare and I move more in unison, and I don’t feel like I’m perched on top of her anymore. She’s definitely happier with the TCS too, I can just tell with how she moves under it. I’m a happy convert.

What I love the most is that no matter how long the ride, or the weather conditions, or the terrain, the TCS doesn't move, it's never left any marks, he doesn't have any sore muscles when I do my post ride check of his back. Bonus is, having previously suffered from a sore lower back after rides, now I'm pain free!

I believe it's allowed my growing 5 year old Welsh D to move freely, with zero restrictions on his shoulder and therefore given him confidence in moving forward, perfect for his first year under saddle and accommodates his changing shape too.

I'm not the most accomplished rider and was concerned about how I would cope with the TCS but it's shocking how quickly I've come to prefer it! It's comfy, stable, secure, lightweight and easily transported. Can't sing it's praises enough.

I am 2 months into my TCS journey and this saddle is nothing short of a miracle. My pony is now moving forward, freely and comfortable and her muscle growth in just 2 months is incredible. Will never be looking back now this saddle is our only way forward
