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.

Customers please note the Chocolate Brown Synthetic TCS comes with black billets.

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.

Honestly, the saddle is in Germany while I live in Egypt. I will go to Germany next week and bring it to my horses in Egypt. BUT I already one here an me and a lot of people are amazed of it! I think it's not too much to say that we love it. Now with two horses to ride at the same time we need this second one.
And thank you soooo much for creating something so wonderfull 💞🐴
From the order to the deliver everything Was going smoothly and comfortable.

Not deliverd yet, ordered one month ago :-( Really sad, because was looking forward.

We were still trying to resolve this issue at the time of your review. We dispatched your saddle in good time but unfortunately you never picked it up from the depot so it was returned to us 6 weeks later. We pride ourselves in our customer service and we sorry to hear you were disappointed. We have now issued you a full refund.

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.
