You'll spend a few weeks getting used to it, but after that its no big deal. If you don't it is really not a big deal. If you buy a new one, or get a used one from that time, you'll get a softer seat. Plus, in 2006 Tad Coffin updated the seat (and the saddle, it is called the A52) so it is more comfortable. After about three weeks in my Tad I got used to the seat difference, and I really don't notice it anymore. I feel very proud to put my Tad Coffin on my horse's back.ĭislikes: I suppose the seat is a tad harder than in other saddles, but it really isn't bad. I love the hole at the very bottom of the billet (real low down) for horses that bloat up. The billets are strong, with lots of holes for easy adjustment and a perfect fit.
Also, the billets are nice and long, easily mistaken for being weak, but that is not the case. Over fences it gently guides you leg to the right place, and keeps it there. My Thoroughbred (who is pretty standard for a TB) uses a medium thick pad, and it fits really well. They are meant to be used with the Tad Coffin leather pads, so you can really adjust fit. Another thing I love about Tads is how versatile they are. It's a really nice, slim looking saddle that works well, AND looks fabulous on your horse(s). The Tad Coffin saddles have a great technology in the panels that really improves the soundness of horses' backs. She's been having chiropractic adjustments too, but the Tad really helped her back out. Her stride opened up a bunch, and she just feels looser and more natural, not trapped by the saddle anymore. Now that she's better (thank God), I got my Tad, and I noticed an enormous difference in the comfort and movement of her back with my Tad than the Butet I was using. My horse was one of the unfortunate ones to come down with the Equine Herpes disease this summer (West Coast) at a horse show, and because it is neurological it really screwed up her back. Likes: Where to start! First of all it is, hands down, the best saddle on the market today for hunter/jumper.
I felt I got a great deal on the saddle, as it was in phenomenal condition, and it is seven years old. I think the saddles, custom from Tad, retail at about $4,200+. Purchase: I bought this saddle from a tack shop in my area just this fall for $2,400, marked down from $3,000, with two TC leather pads included.
