News & Saddle Performance Tips - Tad Coffin Performance Saddles

TC2 is a "Game Changer"

August 26, 2020 Christine Hery

We love hearing that our saddles are a "game changer" for partnerships between horse and rider! Here's what @rvaequestrian says:

"Let’s talk saddles! I recently upgraded to a GAME CHANGING saddle, and I’m in love with it. My new (used but well cared for) 2015 TC2 saddle has changed the way I feel in the saddle on my horse. For the first time ever, I feel like I am IN the tack versus desperately trying to stay in it, and because of this I can sit Perkins’ trot and ride his canter comfortably and with confidence!! I have now lessoned in this saddle, hit the trails, hacked out, and shown in it and I can positively say it is the best investment I have made in my riding other than my horse.

I did my saddle research before finding and buying this unicorn saddle and the thing that really made me want a Tad Coffin saddle was its therapeutic benefit for the horse. I want Perkins feeling his best and the right saddle is a huge part of that equation. I also love that Tad Coffin’s workshop is Virginia local for me, and the quality of the craftsmanship and leather is incredible."

Thera-Tree is also having an immediate and significant impact on Butter's case of anhidrosis.

Good Balance is a Cornerstone of Good Riding
Dec 3, 2021

Understanding what horses need from saddles has been the singular focus of my most intensive investigation for the past 30 years. My conclusion is that, while complicated, it's possible to build a saddle that not only allows, but elicits the natural balancing gestures of horses.
