How They Work
SteadyHands gloves are the result of the application of athletic principles including proprioception (body awareness), resistance training and biomechanics.
The unique positioning of the SteadyHands band across the gloves is the key that allows riders to feel how to correctly engage the upper and lower arm muscles, as well as wrists and fingers.
You have to feel it to understand how incredibly effective they are!

With regular use, your improved hand position and contact feel will become the "new normal".
Safety is assured through the quick-release clip, so your hands are always free to move if needed.

Love the Velcro, and the idea as they do work a heap, but the gloves are too thin all over and gave me a blister on the first use and don’t feel hard wearing, other than that I love them!
Hi G, so sorry to hear that they are too thin for you! Most riders appreciate the finer material for a sensitive feel on the reins, but we understand some riders prefer thicker material. The good news is that we are soon releasing a new style with a micro-suede palm, which you might prefer. As your gloves are covered by our warranty for 12 months, feel free to get in touch to ask for a free replacement to the new style if you find they wear out too quickly. In any event, glad they are working well for you in terms of the Velcro strap!
The gloves were purchased for my wife who loves them, I am not an equestrian so not quite sure I understand the utility of the strap between the gloves, but she assures me it is working and helping her technique.

Amazing gloves – great grip, super comfortable, beautiful quality. The only challenge is that they clearly believe in me more than I do in my riding skills… yet 😉 Highly recommended!

Contact problems?
SteadyHands Gloves help with the following issues:
❌ Fiddling with the reins
- Provides increased awareness of hand movements
- The resistance bands limits the range of hand movement
❌"Pram"/"piano"/downwards facing hands
- Engages arm, shoulder and back muscles to correct this common fault
- Use regularly to overcome the habit
❌ Hands too wide
- The band limits how wide apart the hands can be held
- Builds new muscle memory of correct distance
❌ Hands too low
- Encourages bent elbows which leads to better hand carriage
- Usually goes hand in hand with hands too wide
❌ Overreliance on reins
- Limits/brings awareness to use of the reins
- Invites rider to use legs and/or seat instead
❌ Hands moving around too much
- Gives significantly greater awareness of hand movements
- Engages the correct muscles to keep hands more steady
❌ Hands not working as a pair/unlevel hands
- The band linking the hands together acts as a "bridge"
- Develops mind-body connection of the feeling of each hand individually and as a pair
For beginner riders
SteadyHands will guide the hands in the right position and produce a more independent hand through encouraging better balance.
Beginner riders will form correct habits from the start, and won't have to work hard later to fix a poor hand position.
The SteadyHands safety clip will release easily if needed.
For intermediate riders
This is the time when riders can struggle the most with getting their horse "on the bit".
SteadyHands helps enormously at this time, as it gives riders the chance to experience what a following, consistent and forward-feeling contact can feel like.
For advanced riders
SteadyHands can be used to make subtle changes in the engagement of forearm and upperarm muscles, as well as wrist position, in order to refine the rein contact to its optimum.
At the highest levels, every single detail matters, and those small changes can make huge improvements to performance.
Can something so simple actually work?
Sometimes the simplest solutions are the most effective ones. In the past decade, our understanding of how athletes learn and develop muscles through kinesthetic and resistance aids has greatly improved.
