It was an excellent way to work on strength/conditioning in two-point.īut that doesn't mean I'm not still very interested in the tree technology and how it might benefit some horses. I later had to ride some other training horses in the barn TC saddles, and I just pretended they were covered in tacks and I couldn't sit down. Soon didn't care for them (made his back extremely sore) and to this date, the TC is the only saddle in history to physically wound me. I just know for a fact that it does NOT meet the unscientific claims that these saddles/trees worked for EVERY horse. I also applaud his work with saddle trees, and I believe it's a great and much needed innovation. He is truly one of the most gifted riders I have ever had the privilege of watching. We didn't get in a fight, obviously, and I think the absolute world of Tad as a rider, horseman, and as a gentleman. That One Time Tad Came To The Farm and We Almost Got in a Fight I have a long and colorful history with Tad Coffin saddles.If you don't know, do read about that one time Tad came to the farm and we almost got in a fight: I've been interested in them since 2016 when I first heard about the marriage of the Tad Coffin SmartRide tree with the comfortable stylings of Voltaire. I had been on the lookout for a Voltaire BlueWing for a long time. It seemed to fit him pretty well, and he didn't seem to object too much too it, so I accepted that we'd keep it for a bit (a year, two years, who knows) while I saved up for a newer version. I love the close feel it gives me and how comfy it was. It's well-used, and calfskin (not buffalo), so it's very well worn in. He's been going in Ashley's Voltaire Palm Beach all year, and just before I came back from Okinawa, I bought a 2014 Palm Beach. I was told awhile ago that my beloved, perfect old school CWD was not working for Sig. Horse is happy because he doesn't have a credit card payment. The part of me that has to pay bills and actually sit in the new saddle is still grumbling.
Well.the part of me that wants my horse to be comfortable and happy is happy. Now that it's finally over, I can happily say that I'm the owner of a 2018 Voltaire BlueWing saddle.
It's been a summer of saddle shopping, and we've done a complete 180 in saddle preferences in the last two months.
