The Bull Run Hunt is pleased to invite you to a saddle discussion and demonstration given by Tad Coffin. It will be held at Locust Hill Stables (9427 Oak Park Road, Locust Dale, VA 22948) on Friday, August 7th starting promptly at 6 pm.
FREE - Refreshments Served - Please RSVP to Rosie Campbell at (540) 672-5128
As an Olympic gold medalist and the only American manufacturer of English saddles, Tad Coffin is uniquely qualified to discuss saddle design and the influence saddles have on the horse\rider relationship.
In this discussion, Tad will share some of his discoveries from 20 years of research and development and what he has come to believe about the potential inherent in the saddle. His beliefs stand in contrast to much of conventional saddle wisdom.
In the demonstration, Tad will ride 2 horses well known to members of the hunt. He will highlight the relationship between saddles and a horse's movement, temperament and resistances. He will ride using his saddle with the technology he has developed and discuss its impact on performance. He will cover his criteria for saddle fit, padding and placement.
Please join us and grow your understanding of saddles and their potential. Look forward to seeing you all there! - Bryce Allen and the Bull Run Hunt
