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."

RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt

Comfy reminder

Steady hands really help me remember to keep my thumbs up and not to wiggle my hands too much. It’s a really great support in my daily riding.
I was hesitant to buy them for a long period of time, because of the price, but when I got them not only they support so much, but also these are the most comfortable gloves I have ever own.
I can tack up horse wearing them, without any issue. My previous gloves were too slippery or didn’t allow me to fasten small buckles of the bridal. I’m recommending it to everyone in the stable!

Absolutely love these 😍

Absolutely love these bands, helped so much with my straightness, posture and position making my horse so much happier! Not only this after just a couple uses others could see the difference & I could sit trot a lot better which is something I’ve struggled with for years! 😍 so highly highly recommend

Great training shirt

So hard to find a shirt that visually assists when watching a rider. This one works great and when you okay back a video of them riding they ‘get it’ immediately before you even have to say anything!! So glad I found them

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that our RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt has been helpful in your training sessions. We're glad you found us too! Happy riding!

Fantastic products

I purchased the gloves & bands. The immediate bio feedback for my clients has been remarkably effective in assisting them with correcting their positions. Just a few minutes a ride really helps them understand how quickly they try to go to a less effective place and how staying where they are supposed to be can be so much more effective. Thank you for developing such fantastic, educational tools!

Hi Allison! Thank you for your positive feedback! We are so glad to hear that our gloves and bands have been effective in helping your clients with their positions. It's great to know that our products are not only functional, but also educational. We appreciate your support and are happy to be a part of your clients' riding journey.

So far so good!!

I only rode with them for the first time today. Great fit, nice grip and they come apart easily.I have been recovering from a groin strain so not much riding has been happening. Wearing the gloves felt like it just allowed me to make better use of my body while riding, not relying on my hands so much. Excited!!!!

Hi Kathryn, thank you for leaving a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves! We're thrilled to hear that they provided a great fit and grip for your first ride with them. We hope they continue to help with your recovery and make your rides even better. Thank you for choosing our product and happy riding!

Brilliant

I bought these on a whim as my hands are my biggest weakness - and somehow, in a span of a week my hands have improved drastically. After 12 years (I am a slow learner), I have finally figured out how to hold my hands with and without the gloves to hold them still. It also encourages the use of my legs and is much nicer for my horse’s contact.

This is a MUST HAVE product!

A dressage rider introduced us to these at our H/J barn. We are all hooked now. For me personally, they have made a complete change with the effortless communication with my horse. Honestly, I feel that every trainer should require these of their students. Imagine the next generation of riders having soft supple communication…we require helmets for riders, these gloves should be a requirement to ride horses. Thank you for this product!!!!

Steady Hands - Thumbs Up!

These gloves are worth purchasing to increase hand awareness. The Velcro is strong enough to maintain tension but readily releases when you need your hands. They are not binding. These aren't for everyday riding, more like an exercise for gaining spatial awareness. Gets your brain thinking differently about your hand position.

Hi Michelle, thank you for leaving a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We're thrilled to hear that they have helped increase your hand awareness. Thank you for choosing our product and happy riding!

EngageRider Resistance bands from Equisk

I found them really helpful to keep my upper body straight and stop leaning forward, especially when transitioning from trot or walk to canter. They definitely help with the balance. I found that my riding greatly improved.

Good for focusing

The gloves ares great, they help to focus on common mistakes; though I tried to do jumping excercises with them on and I wouldn’t suggest that being new to them. I must first get used to them while doing ground work and dressage excercises, till the muscle memory stays with that hand posture I guess. I’m still working on that with my lovely gloves.

Hi Karina, thank you for taking the time to share your experience with our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We appreciate your feedback and we hope you continue to enjoy our gloves.

Love them!

I brought these as a gift for my wife. She had used them previously with a coach, and now uses them at home in training. GAME CHANGER!!

Hi Chris! Thank you for your positive feedback on our EngagedRider Resistance Bands! We are thrilled to hear that your wife is enjoying them and that they have been a game changer in her at-home training. Wishing her continued success and happy riding!

Effective Product Hard to Use on Your Own

No question the bands benefit position. I have however found them impossible to use if I ride alone. You need a very quiet stable horse to adjust them once in the saddle. If you have a helper on the ground they are fine.

Hi Anwen, thank you for your feedback on the EngagedRider Resistance Bands. We appreciate your honesty and are sorry to hear that you have found them difficult to use on your own. Thank you for bringing this to our attention and we hope you continue to enjoy the benefits of the bands with a helper on the ground. Happy riding!

Resistance bands

I am a human and horse physio and have for years worked on rider balance and biomechanics to improve the way of goin for the horse. I have found that using the bands has assisted this greatly as the rider gets positive feedback as they are riding. It has also helped some of my crooked riders so thank you very much!

Hi Lena, thank you for your feedback! We are so happy to hear that our resistance bands have been beneficial for both you and your clients in improving rider balance and biomechanics. We appreciate your support and thank you for choosing EQUISK. Happy riding!

Instant Feedback

I love these bands! From the first time I put them on I got results, my aligned position created a clearer message to my horse and I got better canter strike offs, better balance in turns and I noticed after 3 consecutive rides the muscles I hadn't been engaging previously. Well worth the investment.

Thank you for your feedback! We are thrilled to hear that our resistance bands have helped you see instant results in your riding. We truly believe in the effectiveness of our product and we are glad to see it making a positive impact on your riding. Thank you for choosing EngagedRider Resistance Bands! Happy riding!

Generally good

I've found then generally good, but the quick release buckle comes apart too easily. I realise why one is needed, but one that requires more force would be helpful

Hi there, thank you for your feedback on our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We're glad to hear that you have found them to be generally good. We understand your concern about the quick release buckle and we will definitely take that into consideration for future improvements. We hope you continue to enjoy your rides with our 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."
