The World’s #1 position-training aid for a steadier seat

Most riders do not need more vague reminders. They need instant body awareness while they ride, so the right position becomes easier to repeat.

A simple feedback loop between your body and your horse.

The bands connect your posture, core and lower leg with gentle resistance. When you tip, collapse, lose even weight or let the leg wander, you feel it instantly.

That means less guessing, fewer repeated explanations and a clearer path to the position you are already trying to achieve.

What Makes Our Resistance Band Work

  • Dropped Shoulder

  • Collapsed Hip

  • Heels Drawn Up

  • Bouncing Seat

Developing a quiet, yet following seat is the holy grail of horse riding. Many riders struggle with staying relaxed yet supple, especially during bouncy movements like extended trot. Although acquiring a great seat takes time and practice, there are things that riders can do to develop their seat more effectively.

- How This Helps

The bands activate your core and deep stabiliser muscles, which helps you to achieve a deeper, more stable seat. The elasticity of the bands encourages you to keep your joints and spine soft and supple, minimising stiffening and bouncing.

Another common issue which can be caused by tight hip flexors, or the deeper psoas muscles (as well as other imbalances). Can present itself during lateral work especially.

- How This Helps

Wearing the bands during riding helps to activate the correct deep muscles to maintain a level pelvis. We recommend combining with off-the-horse exercises to target the cause of the problem effectively. During rides, the bands will help rewire neural pathways to ensure that beneficial muscle chains are activated.

Many riders struggle with the heels being drawn up. This causes instability in the seat and makes leg aids less precise and effective. Pushing the heels down forcefully is not a solution as it pushes the rider's seat out of the saddle. Instead, the muscles, tendons and ligaments in the legs must gradually lengthen.

- How This Helps

The bands gently encourage you to stretch down through the heels, by giving you a point of elastic resistance to spring into. Use them with or without stirrups. You will notice an improvement very quickly. They are also very useful for riders who struggle to keep their heels down on one side more than another.

10 minutes can be enough to create a clearer feeling.

Use them once a week for general improvement, or more often when you are solving a specific position issue. The goal is not to make riding harder. The goal is to make the right feeling easier to find.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Collapsible content

What size should I choose?

The bands are one size fits all and adjust for different rider heights and body shapes. Use the guide stripes to keep placement even on both sides.

How do they help my riding?

They provide gentle resistance and body feedback so you can notice posture, seat, leg position and left-right balance while you ride.

Can I use them every ride?

You can use them as often as you like, but short, consistent sessions are the best place to start. A focused 15-minute session during a ride can help build awareness without overdoing it.

Who are they best for?

They are best suited to intermediate riders and above who want to improve seat effectiveness, posture, symmetry and leg position. Coaches can also use them as a teaching aid.

Can coaches use them with students?

Yes. They are useful for lessons because riders can feel corrections instead of only hearing them. Always fit them carefully and use them during appropriate schooling work.

What is your return policy?

Try them for 30 days. If the fit, feel or setup is not right for you, contact us for a return. Manufacturing defects within 1 year are replaced free of charge.

How long does shipping take?

Standard shipping usually takes 5-10 business days. Expedited options may be available at checkout, and orders are processed within 1-2 business days.

How do I fit them correctly?

Adjust the bands so they sit evenly and comfortably, then check the guide stripes for matching placement. The resistance should give feedback without pulling you into a forced position.
