FAQs

How safe are SteadyHands Riding Gloves?

SteadyHands gloves are very safe, as they have a centre release clip which comes apart easily with any fast or sudden movement from the rider or the horse. You do not have to worry about your hands being constrained if your horse spooks or plays up - SafetyHands will release quickly without having to think about it.

How They Work

SteadyHands gloves are the result of the application of athletic principles including proprioception (body awareness), resistance training and biomechanics.

The unique positioning of the SteadyHands band across the gloves is the key that allows riders to feel how to correctly engage the upper and lower arm muscles, as well as wrists and fingers.

You have to feel it to understand how incredibly effective they are!

The feedback and reviews of hundreds of riders and coaches all over the world is clear - SteadyHands riding gloves really make a difference to hand position and contact.

With regular use, your improved hand position and contact feel will become the "new normal".

Safety is assured through the quick-release clip, so your hands are always free to move if needed.

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!

Hi Natalie! Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s incredibly rewarding to hear how much the gloves have made a difference for you and your riding. As an adult beginner, navigating all the challenges of position, balance, and technique can feel overwhelming, and it’s amazing to see how a small change can have such a big impact. Your excitement and determination to keep improving are truly inspiring, and we’re thrilled to be a part of your journey. Thank you again for your thoughtful feedback, and we can’t wait to hear about your continued progress! 💪

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!

Jännitys

Mielestäni käteni tuli entistä jännittyneemmiksi. En saa sitä apua mitä halusin. Ehkä pitää vain tottua

Contact problems?

SteadyHands Gloves help with the following issues:

❌ Fiddling with the reins

  • Provides increased awareness of hand movements
  • The resistance bands limits the range of hand movement

❌"Pram"/"piano"/downwards facing hands

  • Engages arm, shoulder and back muscles to correct this common fault
  • Use regularly to overcome the habit

❌ Hands too wide 

- The band limits how wide apart the hands can be held

- Builds new muscle memory of correct distance

❌ Hands too low

  • Encourages bent elbows which leads to better hand carriage
  • Usually goes hand in hand with hands too wide

❌ Overreliance on reins

  • Limits/brings awareness to use of the reins
  • Invites rider to use legs and/or seat instead

❌ Hands moving around too much

  • Gives significantly greater awareness of hand movements
  • Engages the correct muscles to keep hands more steady

❌ Hands not working as a pair/unlevel hands

  • The band linking the hands together acts as a "bridge"
  • Develops mind-body connection of the feeling of each hand individually and as a pair

For beginner riders

SteadyHands will guide the hands in the right position and produce a more independent hand through encouraging better balance.

Beginner riders will form correct habits from the start, and won't have to work hard later to fix a poor hand position.

The SteadyHands safety clip will release easily if needed.

For intermediate riders

This is the time when riders can struggle the most with getting their horse "on the bit".

SteadyHands helps enormously at this time, as it gives riders the chance to experience what a following, consistent and forward-feeling contact can feel like.

For advanced riders

SteadyHands can be used to make subtle changes in the engagement of forearm and upperarm muscles, as well as wrist position, in order to refine the rein contact to its optimum.

At the highest levels, every single detail matters, and those small changes can make huge improvements to performance.

Can something so simple actually work?

Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective ones. In the past decade, our understanding of how athletes learn and develop muscles through kinesthetic and resistance aids has greatly improved.
