Coach Review

"I tried SteadyHands on several different students and in every rider, it improved not only their hand position, but their whole overall position. The resistance band helps to engage the rider's triceps, keeping elbows bent, encouraging a more open chest and taller more upright seat. Every rider commented on how much more aware they became of what their hands were doing! By having quieter hands, they had to ride correctly from their leg and seat, which resulted in a more consistent contact and better way of going for their horse."

MAGIC!!

Ok, I’m an adult beginner and I’ve been struggling with position and my hands and so many things.
I’m not paid to say this. I bought the gloves with my own money. ONE RIDE. One ride and it changed everything for me. I noticed my horse’s transitions have been more seamless, I sit better, I’m so much more balanced in canter. It’s like how can a pair of gloves do all that? It’s amazing! I’m so glad I got these gloves and I can’t wait to keep improving and building! Already looking into other products!

Great tule

I really appreciate the gloves and looking for the elastic straps
As an osteopath I really feel and notice the postural effect and the core strenghtening

Love the gloves

Just started using the steady hands gloves. They are great with the quality of the gloves themselves being very good. Soft and comfortable to wear, and the release clip works well. They do not over restrict your hands but keep them in the right spot. My brain seemed to click in and keep my hands in a much better position. Yes I would be happy to recommend .
My hands are small and I would normally take a size small in a glove, and ordered a small and they fit nicely.

Thank you for your positive review! We are thrilled to hear that you are loving our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We are also glad to hear that they are helping to keep your hands in the right position. Thank you for recommending us. Happy riding!

Didn’t expect them to be such a game changer

I didn’t know what to expect and just thought they would keep my hands still and together. But what i felt instead was a sudden activation of my core and my seat immediately improve. By having to rely less on my hands for balance my entire seat changed. My horse horse went into frame so nicely, and i definitely felt more aware of the rest of my body. I actually don’t believe it took me this long to get them! No i can’t school without them and recommend them to everyone!

Hello Lizelle, we really appreciate your five star review with such lovely feedback. We want our products to be game changes for our valued customers and also for their wonderful horses. So pleased that you found more benefit than just still hands. Happy Riding. :)

Perfect training aid

This is a great product. Makes you check yourself if you ride a bit handsey or less still. My trainer is recommending this product for other students who have similar issues.

Thank you for your wonderful review Victoria. We are so pleased that you have noticed a difference in your hand position. Please thank your trainer for recommending us.

Impressed!

Great idea, great business and great customer care!! 🙏

Thank you Jacci, we do our best to look after our valued customers. :)

Very helpful

I wear the gloves at the start of every flatwork session and competitions, it really helps me to focus on keeping my hands still when they are usually last on the priorities. Helps get the muscles working

Definitely a gentle reminder to shift your focus to your hands, and therefore bringing awareness to your body position too.

Good training aid

The Equisk shirt is great for videoing your ride and assessing your posture. Unfortunately the fabric is hot and not suitable in humid or hot weather.

Wonderful Anna, so pleased to see you noticing any changes you might need to make. Be interesting to see what feedback your trainer has.

The quality is amazing!

The sage RideStraight ATHLETIX shirt is not only functional but it's beautiful as well. The material and the finish feels deluxe, it's breathable and comfortable. I'm very happy and would definitely recommend you purchase.

Hello Cheryl, I was just telling another lovely customer that I am putting a Sage Athletix Shirt on my Christmas Wish List. I have a white one and absolutely love the feel of the shirt too.

Hi
I really like the idea of your gloves, it really helps the rider to sit still whit her hands and its particularly good for young riders.
But we demand better quality of the velcro. The velcro was stretched after the first ride and it needs to be more stable to maintain the quality required, considering the price of the gloves. We feel that the size guide on your website does not correspond at all to the actual size of the gloves. We measured exactly according to your table, but unfortunately both gloves are way too big.

Regards Birgitta Wanatowski

Hello Birgitta, thank you for your honest and valued feedback. We are more than happy to look at exchanging the size of your gloves as we want you to be happy with your purchase and have the correct fit. Also if there is a quality issue, please send us a photo to info@equisk.com so we can speak with our manufacturer. Don't hesitate to email us about anything, as we are only too happy to help.

Helpful

I think they have made difference to me to get more steady hands. The 2 first times I separeted them immediatly cause I felt I couldnt give aids with them, felt locked up! Third time I was determined to give them a chance and I ended up doing the whole session with dem connected and it worked out fine. Less disturbing, reminder to ride back-front and hands more still and in front. My horse feels more steady relaxed and comfortable with me riding with gloves connected and now I dont want to ride without them! The gloves feel a little bit plastic and the velcro could be better quality but so far they work out fine, used them about 5 times.

There is nothing wrong with feeling like that when you first start out with the SteadyHands gloves. We are so pleased you kept going, as sometimes it can take a few times to get the feel of them. How great is it that your horse feels the benefit of the gloves? Thank you for your feedback about the quality, we are keen to hear what our customers have to say. Keep in touch regarding the velcro as we do offer a 12-Month warranty. Happy Riding.

Great gloves!

They really do help with muscle memory and feeling what the rest of your body is doing..or not doing! Totally safe they come apart easily but not too easily. Wear them whenever you need a tune up.

Hi Lisa, well said! So glad to hear you are happy with your gloves.

We love a happy horse, and it's so great to hear that your horse is benefiting from you wearing the SteadyHands gloves.

Coach Review

"What I like most about the gloves is the safety release and elastic strap, so you aren't restricted if you need to get your hands apart in a hurry. I like the increased awareness it provides riders. I was able to use them on one of my clients in particular, who had a breakthrough with her realisation of reliance on her hands (Ieft in particular). I also used the gloves. I have been working really hard on my own contact and hands. I found that with the gloves, I had to be more aware of my postural stablisiers and core activation to keep my body engaged and not switch off. Once I took the strap off, I had a more consistent contact."
