Yes! The TCS is cleverly designed to adapt to any horse, providing padding, placement and girthing is adapted to the horse. You can find more information here.

The simple answer is no. The TCS has been pressure-tested and used safely and successfully by thousands of riders and horses. You can read about the science behind the TCS here.

If padded correctly, your TCS saddle should not slip. Customers who experience slip find using grubby cotton saddle pads directly against the horse and neoprene topped half pads useful. Using a breastplate or a breastcollar can also reduce slip.

It depends. Some bodies and levels accept the TCS but it is best to check the rules and regulations of the competitions you wish to enter before purchasing.

Padding and girthing are very horse-specific. Sometimes, the rider will also have an influence on padding and girthing choices. For more information on padding and girthing, please look here. If you are usure about what padding to use, please contact us for help.
