![]() ![]() ![]() I think he makes good saddles and you’ll find plenty of people who swear by them and love them, but I personally don’t find them comfortable for me. He’s so much better physically and mentally now. The best thing I did for my KS horse was to invest in the bone shave operation. These people did end up ordering saddles from him and like the saddles (those were received months after the Thera-Tree was returned). I think they kept it for 2-3 months before sending it back because honestly they saw no difference. So yes, I’m a pretty big skeptic of some of his claims.Ī few people at the barn went in together on renting a Thera-Tree to save cost. He consistently refuses to admit that his saddles might not work for a particular horse - it’s always they need a different version of his pad, or have him do some other magic change to the saddle. The claims about KS horses that were sent to him improving in his saddles, well, I’d expect some improvement if they are being sent to a trainer who is rehabbing/working them correctly to help their KS symptoms. Said all of his test herd always reacted unanimously to any tweak he made in his saddles when experimenting (all would love it or all would hate it), which again, just seems highly unlikely. It seemed to me that eventually the horses just became bored/fell asleep after 30+ minutes standing there, not that the Thera-Tree magically calmed them. If they didn’t after 10-15 minutes he would just say they needed longer with it on. His demo was pretty staged too, he’d put a Thera-Tree on a horse in the cross-ties saying it would help them relax. And there was a lot of grounding everything with copper - like put your girth on a copper cloth before using it. He made everyone turn on the blue light filter on their cell phones because even when the phone wasn’t actively being used it interfered with the horse’s E/M field or something? Which doesn’t even make sense if the screen isn’t on. I attended a demo with Tad a few years ago which included his Thera-Tree and honestly I found it pretty tough to swallow. I am very willing to do just about anything for my boy, but do not need to waster money on snake oil. He has a herd of 25 horses with histories of back pain that he uses as test subjects but that is def not an unbiased report.Īny and all thoughts and experiences are very welcome! Thank you. He also states up front that to date there has been no FORMAL scientific study, but that a vet is going to be setting one up. To be fair to him tho, he does state clearly and upfront that he does not know exactly what is going on in the tree, but this is his theory. This guy is after all a bonafide horseman, not a shyster, but his webpage is full of grand language and a little short on details. Has anyone here heard of his new TheraTree and actually tried it or his saddle with the SmartRide RX tree? If so did you see the miraculous results he is claiming? IF he really has accidentally stumbled onto something that really does help the horses back as much as he claims on his website, renting the theratree is much more feasible than buying one of his saddles, which are so expensive there are no prices on his website, lol. So he then decided to essentially take the tree and make it a standalone therapy device that he can rent to owners who want to give their horse the “therapy”. Sounds a little woo woo but not totally impossible for materials when combined in a specific way to create an EMF. His most recent evolution of saddle tree apparently was showing tremendous changes to the horses in very short periods of time, so he started looking into why and it sounds like the materials being used in the tree are combining to cause a small but steady electromagnetic field. ![]() ![]() Since my boy was diagnosed with Kissing Spine, of course I have started googling best saddles, treatment options etc, and Tad’s page came up. ![]()
