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."

Awesome product

Love these gloves they have helped me with my hand positioning and how much pressure I put on the bit my pony is so much happier and so am I would definitely recommend

Resistance bands

Resistance bands had a huge impact on my posture the moment I tried them. Especially it helped in sitting trot, where I have been gripping with my knees and it has blocked horses movement. With the band gripping was gone and horse moved better than ever in sitting trot. Totally worth the money and will recommend these to all riders.

Great training tool

Gloves are comfortable and once your hands are in position, you barely notice the strap. They don't breathe very well though so if your hands sweat, the gloves might be a bit damp the next day. They work for flat and jumping and release easily if needed, but they definitely make a difference in positioning your hands correctly.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Margaret. We are glad to hear that they have been a helpful training tool for you and that you find them comfortable to wear. We understand that they may not breathe as well as some other gloves, but we are constantly working to improve their breathability. We are also pleased to hear that they work well for both flat and jumping and allow for easy release when needed. Thank you again for your feedback, we appreciate it. Happy riding!

Ok

I feel these gloves might help someone with uneven hands or who moves them too much. For me it didn't really help. A fraction too tight in the length of the strap and I lost all feeling with the bit. A fraction too loose and they lose the sensation of keeping hands level. I can see their value in some cases but I prefer to go on feel - and arena mirrors for those lucky enough to have them. Practise is the key.

Hi Denise, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We appreciate your honest feedback and are sorry to hear that they didn't work as well for you. It's important for the gloves to fit just right in order for them to be effective.

Once you feel the correct way, it’s easy to find it automatically without looking.

Have trained in these gloves for a month now. They keep your hands exactly where they should be and remind you sub consciously, when you are not attached. The feeling is instant, after just a few minutes it all clicks into place. Clever, simple bit of kit. I start my flat training with my hands strapped, then undo the Velcro strap to jump.

Thank you for sharing your experience with our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Crystal! We're thrilled to hear that they have been helpful in keeping your hands in the correct position while riding. Happy riding!

Small fit

The gloves work well and have helped my son with his positioning and he likes wearing them. However they are so small! We got the large children’s size for my 9 year old and I have to squeeze him into them. I should have sent back, but given they are from Oz I didn’t think it possible. Basically, great product but to much much bigger than you would think.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our Junior SteadyHands Riding Gloves Kelly. We are glad to hear that they have been helpful for your son's positioning and that he enjoys wearing them.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the size being too small. We would like to assure you that we do offer free size exchanges and would be more than happy to assist you with finding the perfect fit for your son. Please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team for assistance.

Tolle Handschuhe

Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit den Handschuhen. Sie erfüllen ihre Aufgabe wirklich gut. Ein kleiner Nachteil ist das Material, meine Hände schwitzen recht doll.

Wir entschuldigen uns für etwaige Unannehmlichkeiten, die durch das Material verursacht werden, und werden Ihr Feedback an unser Produktentwicklungsteam für zukünftige Verbesserungen weiterleiten.

Game changer for a first time rider (and a dentist)

As a dentist, I'm no stranger to tension in my hands and arms, so when I started horse riding, relaxing them was a real challenge. My instructor pointed out that my hands were my biggest issue, which made me skeptical about whether gloves could make a difference. But since I was desperate to improve, I gave the riding gloves a shot… and I'm so glad I did.
Not only are they comfortable and well-fitted, but they genuinely helped me keep my hands more still and relaxed. That translated into a much better posture and improved control of the reins. For a first-time rider like me, these gloves were surprisingly helpful.
Highly recommend, especially if you struggle with hand tension or are just starting out!

Thank you for your wonderful review Indira! We are thrilled to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves were a game changer for you as a first-time rider and a dentist. We are so glad to hear that our gloves helped you relax and improve your posture and control of the reins. Thank you for recommending our gloves, and we wish you many more enjoyable rides!

Great innovation and quality

Love the quality and the functionality is great provided you continuously check in with yourself. I almost reckon they need another strap underneath to remind to keep the hands upright and not flatten out. All in all a great product innovation and training tool.

Thank you so much for your feedback on our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Rox. We're thrilled to hear that you love the quality and find the functionality to be great. Thank you for choosing our product as your training tool. Happy riding!

Amazing and safe

I ordered both the gloves that clip together and the exercise band and I love them both. The gloves you can use with any horse and the results are often immediate, they helped me understand inside leg to outside hand on a physical level rather than just rationally and the horses appreciate the steadiness of the contact with them. The bands are very useful and you can feel yourself really working hard when using them, but I would not use them on horses that are particularly spooky or unpredictable. The gloves on the other hand I would recommend using on any and every horse

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Priscilla! We are thrilled to hear that they have been helpful in improving your communication with your horse. We hope to continue providing you with high-quality products for all your riding needs.

Outstanding training aide

I gave these as a gift to a friend who really struggled with steady, giving hands which kept her horse backed off from contact. It’s been about a month and she rides with these connected for about 10 minutes each ride. It’s making a huge difference for both she and her horse.

Thank you for your positive review! We're so glad to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have been helpful in improving your friend's contact with her horse. It's great to know that after just a month of use, there has been a noticeable difference. Keep up the good work! Happy riding!

Game changer

I’ve been struggling for a while to get a good contact with my sensitive young horse. After a few months I finally decided to try those gloves. Not only they helped me get a better hand position but it also improves the whole body posture. But the real miracle was on my horse, he’s way more stable on the hand and engage his rear end in a much better way. It also helped us loads while transitioning and turning.
These gloves are a real investment to evolve in this sport and my coaches are actually very impressed by this tool.
Would 10000% recommend !!

Thank you for your review of our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Victoire. We are so happy to hear that they have been a game changer for you and your horse. We are thrilled that your coaches are impressed with the results as well. Thank you for recommending our gloves and for choosing to evolve in this sport with us. Happy riding!

Game changer!

I am recovering from an ankle injury so I can only walk atm, my trainer is schooling otherwise. I didn’t want to just amble around so invested in the gloves to improve my connection and position. It’s already been amazing and my hands are consistently better even without the straps. So pleased and can’t wait until I’m able to do more to see/feel the difference. 100% recommend 👍

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Liz! We hope that as you continue to heal, the gloves will continue to make a difference for you. Thank you for your recommendation and happy riding!

Delighted

Delighted with the steady gloves. My daughter (13) grew very quickly and therefore couldn't keep her heads steady. We searched for something that could help her during this period and came along the steady hands gloves. Very expensive, but worth the try.

This company has a very good service, helped with picking the good size and when there was a little fault in delivery, they responded immediately and came with a solution right away.

My daughter now trained with them three times and there is a huge difference in her hands and therefore also in the pony. She says that she now is more aware of her moving left hand (which can't move that much anymore with these gloved) and we hope over time she will have the steady hands as she had before.

So, when you are in doubt, I would definitely recommend to buy. Both service and product are really worth it 🩷 only negative thing is probably the shipping time and that there is no selling point in the Netherlands.

Thank you so much for your review Silvia! We are thrilled to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have made a positive difference for your daughter and her pony. We are also glad to hear that you appreciated our customer service and that we were able to help you find the right size. We apologize for any delay in shipping and hope to expand our presence in the Netherlands in the future. Thank you again for choosing our product and we wish your daughter continued success in her training.

Equisk bands

These bands gave me instant feedback, making me more aware of my position, posture and movement. I have a tendency to lean to my left and these bands completely corrected it and I’ve noticed a big improvement in this issue since using the bands. The difference these bands make in my riding is unreal, not only that but the difference in my horse when I’m engaged is incredible. I would recommend these to anyone no matter your riding level

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."
