The type of ride that reminds me why I love riding in the first place. Some rides are for training, some are just there to enjoy! ❤️🐴

Had a great outing with rubyb.eq on the South Downs in Kent for a 6.5 mile ride. For the equipment I used, see below!

Saddle: Total Contact Saddle

WTH? 🤷🏼‍♀️

A little Ring camera clip from the barn that captures exactly why I know my horse is comfortable with her tack and with the work we do.

Admittedly this clip is a little old and dates from late winter/early spring (as evidenced by my hood being up 🥶 and Miami sporting a fresh clip 💇🏽‍♀️) but I love it for what it shows- she’s standing loose in the barn while I get her ready for a lesson in the TCS. No drama, no bracing, no tension — just a horse who looks comfortable, curious and present in the process.

We often talk about the riding itself, but these quiet moments before you even get on matter just as much. The trust, the routine, the softness, the feeling that your horse is genuinely at ease.

Miami is ridden exclusively in the TCS, and I love how simple and easy it allows tacking up to feel while still giving me security and connection in the saddle.

The little everyday moments really are the big moments 🖤

Today we're sharing pictures of Alfie, who rides his endurance ponies in a TCS saddle. Here he is completing a 26km pleasure ride on and a 31km novice graded ride at the recent Clocaenog Forest Endurance GB Ride.

Alfie is an incredibly dedicated rider with a great sense of style and we're so honoured he's chosen the TCS for his adventures! 🤩🙏

From beach hacks to the dressage arena ✨

Our Australian reseller Rebekah Melrose and her beautiful horse out enjoying the freedom, feel and connection that the Total Contact Saddle is all about, this time in the dressage arena.

Lightweight, flexible and designed to move with the horse — whether you’re schooling at home or riding down the centre line, the TCS allows you to truly feel every step beneath you.

Because comfort, harmony and communication should never be limited to one discipline! 🤎

Bridleless riding is making headlines right now thanks to the first British Bridleless Competition, so we couldn’t resist sharing these beautiful photos.

The most interesting thing here isn’t the absence of a bridle. It’s the presence of trust.

A horse that approaches a fence with a soft eye. A rider who looks relaxed rather than tense. No struggle, no force, no resistance.

The Total Contact Saddle is designed to bring horse and rider closer together, allowing communication through balance, feel and subtle movement. Whether ridden with a bridle, bitless or bridleless, the goal remains the same: a willing horse, a confident rider and a partnership that looks as good as it feels.

Calm. Focused. Happy to be there. That’s what we’re really seeing in this photograph from highly.sensitive.horsewoman working with her gorgeous Arab X Welsh mare Zafirah.

Opening the week with an absolute power pair 👊🏻🔥

We are privileged to share these clips of .x and Fizz taken a short while ago at for pony camp. Bow is such a talented rider who rides Fizz in the TCS over jumps both on the cross-country course and in the showjumping ring and it’s clear to see how Fizz and Bow click with each other! 🤩 We were lucky enough to meet Bow a few months ago where she told us how she first came across the TCS; check out our chat with her in the linked reel!
