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."

Great shirt but not suited to the tropics

This long sleeve shirt is great in every other way , good fit , quality item however the material is very hot and quite thick . Not suited to anyone riding in the tropics . I have been wetting it prior to riding but now as it enters Summer I won’t be able to use it . Just as considering . A mesh version would be awesome.

Thank you for leaving a review for our RideStraight CLASSIX Long-Sleeve Shirt. We appreciate your feedback and are sorry to hear that the material is not suitable for the tropics. We will definitely take this into consideration for future products and appreciate your suggestion for a mesh version. Thank you for your support and we hope to provide you with a better experience in the future. Happy riding!

Balance vertical position

Truly love my Engaged rider resistance bands. Makes it easier to keep in a balanced vertical position, avoiding falling forward or back as well as keeping a central position (left /right)
And, perhaps most importantly, it keeps my seat in the saddle.
After a few minutes you do not think about the bands, only that you keep an engaged seat. Love them

Thank you so much for your kind words about our EngagedRider Resistance Bands. We're thrilled to hear that they have helped you maintain a balanced vertical position and keep your seat in the saddle during your workouts. Happy riding!

Instant Improvement!

I have ridden in my gloves twice now, and my horse is loving it. He was previously avoiding the contact and evading the bit in the trot transition, but now he accepts it easily. I’ve had two very positive rides. Both I and my horse recommend!

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! We are thrilled to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have made a positive difference in your rides. It's wonderful to know that your horse is responding well to the increased contact and your transitions have improved. Happy riding!

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. 😊

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! 😊 I’m so glad to hear the EngagedRider resistance bands helped you feel more balanced and aware in your riding. Excited for your continued progress! Happy riding!

Thank you for your kind words Kristy! We're glad to hear that our RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt has been helpful for you. Happy riding!

They work!

My 11yo daughter’s hand position has really improved after using these gloves for around 6 months. The Velcro did come undone easily on our first pair of gloves, but customer service was super attentive and quick to replace, and we’ve continued our riding journey with another pair of these gloves. No magic, the strap just helps and reminds you of your hand position in a comfortable and safe way. Congrats for the idea! We will certainly be looking out for your new products.

Thank you for your positive feedback Tammy! We are glad to know that our Junior SteadyHands Riding Gloves have helped improve your daughter's hand position. We apologize for the issue with the Velcro on your first pair, but we are happy to hear that our customer service team was able to assist and provide a replacement. Happy riding!

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!

Steady hands

Love these gloves!

My trainer had me order these gloves to help me with my “jazz hands” and they have worked so well!!!

Thank you for your positive feedback, Kimberly! We are so glad to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have helped with your 'jazz hands'. Keep up the great work with your trainer! 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!

Very effective

I didn’t realise how much I move my hands around, and because of that they take some getting used to. However my horse seemed to feel very happy with me using them, I could feel the difference. I used them for driving my pony as well as riding, they worked very well for that too. Snug fit though and I would have referred leather, but I’d definitely recommend them.

Thank you for your review, Tania! We are glad to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have been effective for riding your pony. We understand that they may take some getting used to, but we are happy to hear that you and your horse have noticed a positive difference while using them. We appreciate your feedback and will take note of your suggestion for a leather option. Thank you for recommending our gloves!

Equisk Riding Bands

I’ve been using the bands for a few weeks and am seeing results such as more stable core and ( left ) leg , along with more level shoulders .
Easy to use and you really don’t notice you’re wearing them during your rides , they just help remind your body how to be symmetrical

Hi Teddy! Thank you for taking the time to leave a review for our EngagedRider Resistance Bands! We are thrilled to hear that you are already seeing results after just a few weeks of use. Keep up the great work and happy riding!

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."
