``At the riding school almost every girl rides with the TC and they are showing good results very quickly, getting balanced and getting very good confidence faster then usual`` (K.O. . owner of an equine equip supply company and school in Norway).
``T***y says thanks for his carrot :) he didn't mind me putting the saddle on him. Tested it out on a rideable horse and it felt exactly like I expected it to, I think I've already got some people interested just by them looking at it! I am looking forward to using it properly on T***y, hopefully in about a months time he'll be walking with me on his back, he's progressing rapidly and gradually overcoming his fears of people so anything is possible ;).. (L.P. Essex - after taking ownership of a horse with a .history. and not at all happy in his .previous life. .These photos were taken a couple of weeks ago, he is really improving as you can see. We also rode prelim 4 today really nicely..`` C.S. (Dorset)
``I do like the way you feel so close to the horse and I find that she is wonderfully responsive to turning (which was a problem before) - I just need to look and think 'this way' and she goes there, also stopping..`` E.F.
``I took it to my sister.s place once we had finished mine and rode out using it on a cob who has trouble with a conventional saddle (always moves on the back). As he is a bit more smoother and a lot rounder than C****a, it was seriously like sitting in an armchair... his canter was soooooo lush`` F. B. (Beds)
``Am enjoying the saddle. One query - which is the correct way round for the geleze pad. L.A.`` (we sorted out her query !)
``Firstly, thank you VERY much for today, it has been tremendously helpful. You have, as I anticipated, taught me more in a few short hours than I've learnt in hours and hours of riding lessons:).`` (C. K. Derbys)
``Just wanted to let you know how happy I am with my new saddle! I have received many comments and queries about it on my jaunts about the neighborhood. I always tell them to look up total contact saddle on the internet. Mr. M**n, my horse, approves of it too. As I said before he is very sensitive and the gel pad was a bit disconcerting to him at first, but that lasted less than a minute. I feel much more comfortable with this than the bareback pad, because there is absolutely no slip! You were right... This saddle just makes so much sense!`` (H. D. Devon).
``Now that I'm using it I don't want to ride in anything else. My jumping has improved and I love it`` (J. T. Derbys)
``I wanted to tell you how happy I am with it (the saddle). The saddle has made our riding much more enjoyable and secure`` (H.D. USA)
``I absolutely love it! Being able to feel my horses back while using stirrups is an incredible experience. I've used it a lot since purchasing it this spring. I really think my horse appreciates not having a tree binding his back and movement as well`` (C. G. USA)
``I bought my saddle from you last autumn after the Natural Horse Gathering and am still really happy with it - as is my 15.2 Welsh cob`` (L.A. Wootton Bassett)
``When I ride bareback I no longer feel like a passenger on a horse but like a member of the team. You can really feel what the horse is thinking and vice versa. I really hope that in the years to come there are no other types of saddle and that the equine world realises the value of this revolutionary product.`` (BL, Great Britain).
Yes, this saddle is made in the UK by a saddler who hand finishes each one - sitting by a sewing machine threading each stitch. We only use top quality leather that comes from Italy. We don't compromise on quality like some may do ...
No, I've NEVER had any feedback in 5 years to suggest that this product causes back problems (counter intuitive maybe) in fact the oppostite is the case. Be open minded and give your horse and your own performance a chance !
Loads of great pics from the Lines Riding School in Noway (they LOVE the saddle). Go HERE and select 'rideleir' (riding schools) and 'diverse bilder' - enjoy !! Thanks Katarina.
