TREELESS SADDLES & ACCESSORIES


 
Total Contact

 

“The difference”, said one purchaser of the saddle recently, “was between driving a car without power steering and one that has power steering. The lack of effort needed is amazing”.

The need to ride with the horse instead of against the horse is discussed by Mario [below] in his method and the saddle is just a part of that method – it’s no good buying a World Rally Car and driving it like a trip to the supermarket in a three wheeler !

Client Comments

`It's weird that it doesn't feel weird``
(C. R. Worcstershire)

``The difference is like driving a car with power steering and one without: it's so easy and effortless``
(A. H. Gloucestershire)

``Our independant riders say they are really pleased to be able to concentrate on their position and riding skills without regular interuptions to adjust our (original) tack``
(New Yat RDA, Whitney)

 


``The demonstration was both interesting and thought provoking... We were very interested by the concept that your product offered`` (The training committee of The Pony Club, UK)

``This is the saddle of the future``
(Albert Voorm, Silver Medalist Sydney 2000)

``My horse naps much less with a TC saddle and doesn't suffer from a bad back the next day, anymore``
(D.M. Warwickshire)

``When I first viewed the Total Contact I thought 'what!!!'

The Total Contact' was 'fitted' to my ID/TB very quickly, with the use of a Gel pad, saddle cloth and girth. I mounted up and walked around the field for a few minutes. After a few simple exercises I began to gain a good secure balance in the stirrups. I was astounded to find that very soon I had forgotten that I wasn't riding with a 'normal' saddle.

It was amazing. I walked, trotted and cantered successfully and had great fun.

After twenty minutes I was totally sold on the Total Contact. I didn't want to get off. I felt total unity with my horse. He seemed to understand my aids more clearly``
Jan Barley (Gloucestershire)

 

"The ideal situation would be to genetically engineer a horse to have a ‘D’ – ring growing on his ribs which I could hang stirrups off. Stirrups are all a jumper really needs”

“For two thousand years a saddle has been a ‘chair’ we strap onto the back of a horse. Total Contact changes all of that”

The above are two of the challenging comments from Ex Italian pro show jumper, trainer and Italian Federal Instructor Mario Prisco.

Mario has taken his experience in training, riding and coaching as well as his observations of other top show jumpers to develop his “Total Contact” riding method. “Total Contact” uses the balance of the rider to be more in harmony with the horse’s motion.

To achieve this Mario has had to completely re-design the traditional view of a saddle and has developed his “Total Contact” saddle which allows more of the riders intention to be communicated directly to the horse instead of through several inches of thick leather, padding and wood.

   

If you like riding bareback you will love the Total Contact!

Using the Total Contact has enabled me to: -

  • Start my Welsh Section A - I would never have found a saddle that fitted him and also my posterior!

  • Prevent continual slipping problems that I had using an endurance Torsion treeless saddle with my Welsh Section D. It also helps me to ride closer to him, as he is so wide that my pelvis was being spread uncomfortably wide with the Torsion.

  • Regularly have a good gallop with my elderly ID/TB who exists only to eat and gallop! We have also jumped a few small jumps comfortably.
The Total Contact is endorsed by the Riding for Disabled group and has been acknowledged as innovative by The Pony Club.

The Total Contact is priced at only £195.00 plus £5.00 P & P.
