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.
Customer Reviews
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

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!
