"I never stop being surprised at how the A5 with Smart Ride® technology eliminates a variety of back and behavior problems. This is confirmed to me every time I teach a clinic and change the rider to my saddle." |
||||
The saddle
lends clarity to the ride; if the horse does not feel right, you can trust that
it is not the saddle. With this experience there is connection, there is
resonance, not just with the horse and rider, the course and the goal, but also
with Justin and Tad and the painstaking research captured in every saddle.
When you ride in a Tad Coffin Performance Saddle, you join the team, and you will feel the difference." |

A few more
wonderful things about the saddle are that it comes broken in, is very
comfortable, and puts your leg in a very correct position. |

The past
few rides in your saddle have been like a breath of fresh air - kind of like
the difference between riding a donkey and confirmation hunter. I'm back
on track with my horses and we jumped beautifully |

As my career has moved forward, I continue
to rely on Tad’s saddles to help me bring out the best in my horses. I love the new deeper seat TC2 model
and cannot say enough about the Smart Ride technology.
I encourage all of my riders to buy Tad Coffin Saddles. These saddles
are an important part of my success.”

I've been
searching for this freedom in the saddle and the ability to move with the horse
for a long time. The TC2 with its Smart Ride® technology delivers. It allows
the horse to move freely and improve his balance by moving forward. It is a
more natural way of solving riding problems. It allows me to be flexible in the saddle, to move as needed
and still have a closeness to the horse.
With all
of his studies, knowledge and experience, I believe Tad with This
saddle solves the problems I have been riding around my whole life!”

I train
and compete exclusively in Tad Coffin saddles.
Prowler
and I successfully completed the Rolex Kentucky CCI**** this Spring.
I ran the cross country in my TC2 and felt secure in the tack, and secure that
Prowler was comfortable and happy with his saddle. The Smart Ride® technology
in Tad’s saddles, allows the saddles to move and flex with the horses back as they
jump, or do dressage. The results
are unparalleled. All my horses
are happy and sound, which is a direct link to Tad Coffin’s Smart Ride®
technology.”

My horse,
Mimi, had always been stiff and resistant, often spooking without cause, and
always bracing over her top line. The first time I used Tad's saddle, Mimi
softened in her back and started naturally stretching and reaching for the
bridle. She relaxed and moved calmly and willingly forward. I have owned Mimi
for ten years, and I had never experienced her to be so placid. I know my horse
well, and the horse I was riding that day was not the Mimi I knew. I was
experiencing a dramatic change in her, which I continue to enjoy today.
Mimi
appreciates the freedom of movement made possible by the Smart Ride®
technology. The well-balanced saddle, combined with the comfort and stability
of a deeper seat has made me a more confident and effective rider. Mimi and I
have been able to develop an unbelievable relationship that would not have been
possible before using Tad's saddle.
I would
like to mention I discovered that using my own girth in the beginning was
undermining the precise positioning required using the A5 saddle. I ordered
Tad's special girth and found that the combination of Tad's girth and saddle,
used together, has allowed Mimi and I to get the optimal results that we
wanted. I am thankful to my trainer, Gilly McPhee, for introducing me and
familiarizing me with the Tad Coffin saddle, and I consider myself fortunate to
now own one of Tad's beautifully engineered saddles. It is a privilege to ride
in a saddle that is balanced and comfortable for the horse and rider. It allows us both to extend our every
possibility of performance and training.
I am
thankful to Tad for his professional knowledge and dedication and thankful for
his love of horses and their well being.

"I love my TC2 with Smart Ride® technology, it not only makes me feel completely secure as a rider but I can also feel the results it's had on my horse's movement. No more tight shoulders or lack of impulsion.....now his flat work is fluid and strong right from the first step."
