2021 has been a big year for our program, but a lot of what has gone into the good results of these past few months has been years in the making. Our program is constantly evolving, but the biggest and most impactful change we have made in the past five years has been what saddle we ride in. Many of you know that my horses have gone exclusively in Tad Coffin’s saddles for the past few years. I think Tad is one of the genius horsemen that I have had the pleasure of knowing, and his saddle is a true reflection of his horsemanship, his intellect, his ingenuity, and some incredible engineering as well. I could not possibly list all the ways a simple piece of tack has changed my relationship with my horses, and improved their happiness and well-being across the board. Some of the discoveries he has made in saddle design and materials are groundbreaking, and it’s no surprise that my horses’ performance is so notably improved. This is not a sponsorship post. I’m not sponsored by Tad because Tad doesn’t believe in sponsorships. His only motive is helping horses. I choose to ride in these saddles because of what they offer me and my horses, for how I feel riding in them and for how my horses feel. It has been life changing for us and our program, and I just wanted to give him and his wonderful product due credit for opening new doors to us, and allowing us to become better at what we do. Feel free to give Tad a call at 434-989-3229 #smartriderx #horsemanship

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.
