How Do They Work
Resistance bands are being increasingly used by riding coaches, especially biomechanics coaches or those with physiotherapy backgrounds, as we understand how important they are in helping riders engage the correct muscle chains.
You will immediately feel an increased awareness of your asymmetries and weaker muscle groups while wearing the bands. After even 10 - 15 minutes of riding in the bands, most riders report feeling increased muscle fatigue as a result of consistently engaging the correct muscles. You can start wearing them for longer periods as you become stronger.
Long-term, they will help you to be a straighter, more stable rider. Your position will improve and become more effective. Advanced riders may use them especially to correct crookedness in lateral movements, flying changes and even piaffe/passage.
Riders of all levels will find them helpful in noticing and addressing differences between riding on the right rein and the left rein at all paces.

The bands are robust, but they seemed to make my lower leg more UNSTABLE! I'm pivoting at the hips, and it's just not working. I work with my coach and film myself. I won't be using them.
Hello Monika, We are sorry to hear that the bands haven't worked out for you. Most of our customers find that they get immediate results, however we are all made differently and for others it has taken longer to get used to them. We hope that you will give them another try in the future. On a good note, we are glad that you thought the material was good quality.
By adding the bands with my steady hands I could feel my core being utilised and my position changing nearly instantly. These two products alone are amazing but used together are a complete gamechanger!
Wow, Brie, you are certainly having a good workout with the gloves and bands. So pleased you are happy working with them both together and that the changes were noticed so quickly.
I was slightly sceptical as to whether the EngagedRider Resistance Bands would actually make a difference to my riding but WOW!
From the very first moment I put them on I could feel my body stretch up and open through my shoulders and rib cage. Gone was the habitual leaning forward and rounded shoulders, I was able to sit up and sit deeper, particularly in the canter work.
My coach was really surprised and we will definitely be continuing to work with the bands on during my lessons to teach my body new good habits!
Thank you Equisk, fabulous product!
Hello Cheryl, another lovely customers of ours was saying she was sceptical about the Steadyhands riding gloves, but once she tried them she was very happy. We are so glad to hear that after your initial feelings about the bands, you had a WOW moment! That is fantastic that you are seeing such a difference in your posture and seat. Keep in touch and let us know how your journey continues.
