This is a fabulous ergonomic riding tool. The bands are a great reminder to keep my legs still and heels down.to use my core and keep my shoulders balanced My trainer used another type of band and I gifted her these bands and now she uses them regularily for lessons They are not constrictive when riding, and riding with them on in a posting trot is the best tool for improved riding. I feel special with my banners across my body! Well done!!!
