The Total Contact Saddle: the ultimate treeless saddle
Choose your saddle, elevate your ride.
Our treeless saddles deliver the perfect fit, every single ride.
Saddles as we know them require regular fittings with questionable results. Saddle-fitting appointements are expensive, time-consuming and can still result in an ill-fitting saddle that causes the horse discomfort and pain.
Many horses are also tricky to fit – those which have flat backs, short backs, roach backs, high withers… or horses which are either very young or old, whose bodies noticeably change shape over time. The Total Contact Saddles solve problems which traditional and other treeless saddles can’t.
Horses also change shape from one season to the next, year after year, but sometimes also in a matter of weeks, which leaves your tree'd or treeless saddle ill-fitting once more. With optional seats and accessories to fit every horse and rider combo, the Total Contact Saddle solves all of this and is an affordable yet dependable solution for a year-round (and life-long) well-fitting treeless saddle.

A close contact treeless saddle for enhanced connection.
Other treeless saddles and bareback pads on the market can be bulky- the TCS offers an unparalelled close contact experience compared to any other treeless saddles on the market, which some have likened to having 'power-steering' for their horse; now in much closer contact, it is easier for the rider to be effective, and for the horse to understand the rider's lightest of aids.
The Total Contact Saddle is a treeless saddle that places the rider on the horse, not perched above it, just behind its centre of gravity, making it easier for the horse to carry the weight of the rider, and move more freely in all gaits. With the Total Contact Saddle, the rider can also learn to feel the direct movement of the horse as it flexes its muscles through the back.
For every horse, every rider, every discipline.

Let customers speak for us
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
A brilliant addition to the TCS saddle. Makes it look more “traditional” and helps with my posture and seat
I've had my TCS for nearly 2 years borrowed my friends seat, instant game changer for my older high withered mare! came home and ordered my own, recieved 2 days later, perfect!
Love love love my TCS, The premium is so soft and padded underneath and my pony is finally able to relax and stretch down under saddle which he has not done prior in treed or even treeless saddles, also had no slippage even when mounting from the ground on my very round non existent withered cob, the company has also been incredible to deal with and are very quick to answer any queries, highly recommend!
Love this saddle! . Super comfortable for both me and Higgins, who is a big shire.
The ride is like nothing before, really feel at one with my horse.
So comfy for rider and pony! He is now happily forward and free moving.
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!
Lovely stirrups - im 5ft2inches, bought the 20 inch stirrups but they are two short so exchanging them, probably need around 26 inch - but lovely product
This is my 3rd TCS over the years and yourve really outdone yourselves team. Beautiful work. Comfy horses make happier horses.
I'm very happy with the girth guards so far. I'm keen to protect the underside of my synthetic total contact saddle. My leather total contact saddle has already got a few marks on it from the girth buckles, over the 4 years I've used it, however I have bought a pair of the guards to use with that saddle too, to prevent any more marks. They work very well with both the leather and the synthetic saddle girth straps, I've had no issues putting them on either saddle. They are a great addition to the saddle.
Brilliant saddle, wish I'd bought one sooner.
Very pleased with our new TCS pony is happy and rider more comfortable.
The quality of this saddle is very good. I've been wanting one since the synthetic saddle first came out but I haven't ridden in it yet, since the pony I got it for is not yet backed, but I will be backing him in the saddle. It is my second saddle, my first one is the classic leather TCS. I love the freedom I feel in the TCS, it has improved my riding over the 4 years I've had my first TCS. It was a no brainier buying a second, because I have two horses, I shared the same tack for my previous horse and pony but my newest pony is smaller and now has his own tack. I do prefer synthetic tack over leather too for the convenience of it. It is not heavy although it's a bit stiffer than my leather TCS was but I know over time it'll soften a bit. It is the newer design, my leather TCS is the older model so it'll be interesting to see how I do ride in it when I back my youngster. But so far I am very happy with my purchase
So pleased with the TCS. My horse is more relaxed and so am I!
