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.

How to Use the EngagedRider Resistance Bands

We didn’t plan to start a brand. We just wanted to make something that actually worked. That idea became the Steady Hand Gloves and the beginning of EQUISK 💙 Thank you for being apart of our journey! #equestrianbrand #equestrianblog #equinebusiness

We put boots on to protect our horses’ legs… but when heat builds inside, they can do the opposite. ❌ Tendon fibre breakdown ❌ Inflammation & swelling ❌ Higher risk of soft-tissue injury ❌ Slower post-ride recovery Even a single ride can trap enough heat to damage delicate tendons. That’s why we created the Equisk Cool Boots, boots that truly protect while keeping legs cool. 🐴❄️ 👉 Available now FOR PRESALE – link in bio.

How To Take Bands Off

3 reasons you should stop sleeping on trot poles 👇 1️⃣ They build better rhythm and self-carriage. If your horse tends to rush, fall behind the leg, or lose balance, trot poles quietly teach them to find their own tempo without you having to micromanage every stride. 2️⃣ They strengthen topline and engagement. Each lift through the poles activates your horse’s core, back, and hind end, the exact muscles that make collection, transitions, and jumping easier (and prettier 😉). 3️⃣ They sharpen focus and footwork. Your horse starts actually thinking about where they place their feet, meaning fewer chips, stumbles, and rails later. No fancy exercises or expensive gear needed. Just poles on the ground and consistent, thoughtful riding (though wearing rider bands adds another level - stay tuned for more!) Save this before your next ride… and bring trot poles back into your routine 🐴💪 Should we do a reel on setting up trot poles? #horserider #dressage #equestrianblog #dressagerider #equestrianlife

If you’re an equestrian, … these 10 truths are for you: 1. Your horse isn’t the problem as often as you think. 2. A steadier seat will fix more than a stronger bit ever will. 3. Riding without stirrups will make you 10x better (even if you hate it). 4. It’s never the reins’ job to fix the rhythm. 5. Your fitness off the horse matters just as much as on. 6. Video yourself riding — it will teach you more than you expect. 7. Less force, more feel. 8. Ride the horse you have today. 9. Your mindset affects your horse more than any piece of tack. 10. Invest in lessons, not just gear. Share to a friend or save as a reminder for later ✨ #horserider #dressage #equestrianblog #equestrian #flatwork #horseblog #equestrianproblems

Most riders choose brushing boots to protect their horse’s legs. But what if they’re also causing another problem? 🔥 We ran the tests… and the results were eye-opening. Something new is coming.

Equal Rider Resistance Bands

I rode yesterday using the bands (under supervision from my dressage coach).
They highlighted that my weight was not in my stirrups, especially in my right foot. Once I adjusted to correct this, I felt more balanced and lighter in my seat. My hips were in line with my horses shoulders, allowing for my horse to in turn, be balanced on all four feet.
I’m excited to see how my riding and body awareness progresses, to assist with achieving my goals in my riding. 😊

Fantastic Piece of Equipment!

Thank you for your positive feedback! We're glad to hear that you're enjoying our EngagedRider Resistance Bands. Happy riding!

All the way in SA

First ride in the bands and could defenitly feel a difference in my body as well as the way my horse moved.. His back ups has vastly improved in just one session.. no swining his hind to one side.

Thank you so much for your review! We are thrilled to hear that you have already noticed a difference in your body and your horse's movement after just one session with our EngagedRider Resistance Bands. It's great to hear that your horse's back ups have improved as well. Happy riding!

I really love these

I find it difficult to describe how it feels to ride in these. I absolutely love riding in them, you immediately feel that you’re doing something wrong, which is what I love! Great tool for the rider to fix themselves, instead of strapping the horse in to fix a symptom

Thank you for your feedback on our EngagedRider Resistance Bands. We are so glad to hear that you love riding in them and find them effective in correcting your form. Happy riding!
