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 innovation and quality

Love the quality and the functionality is great provided you continuously check in with yourself. I almost reckon they need another strap underneath to remind to keep the hands upright and not flatten out. All in all a great product innovation and training tool.

Thank you so much for your feedback on our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Rox. We're thrilled to hear that you love the quality and find the functionality to be great. Thank you for choosing our product as your training tool. Happy riding!

Amazing and safe

I ordered both the gloves that clip together and the exercise band and I love them both. The gloves you can use with any horse and the results are often immediate, they helped me understand inside leg to outside hand on a physical level rather than just rationally and the horses appreciate the steadiness of the contact with them. The bands are very useful and you can feel yourself really working hard when using them, but I would not use them on horses that are particularly spooky or unpredictable. The gloves on the other hand I would recommend using on any and every horse

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a positive review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Priscilla! We are thrilled to hear that they have been helpful in improving your communication with your horse. We hope to continue providing you with high-quality products for all your riding needs.

Outstanding training aide

I gave these as a gift to a friend who really struggled with steady, giving hands which kept her horse backed off from contact. It’s been about a month and she rides with these connected for about 10 minutes each ride. It’s making a huge difference for both she and her horse.

Thank you for your positive review! We're so glad to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have been helpful in improving your friend's contact with her horse. It's great to know that after just a month of use, there has been a noticeable difference. Keep up the good work! Happy riding!

Game changer

I’ve been struggling for a while to get a good contact with my sensitive young horse. After a few months I finally decided to try those gloves. Not only they helped me get a better hand position but it also improves the whole body posture. But the real miracle was on my horse, he’s way more stable on the hand and engage his rear end in a much better way. It also helped us loads while transitioning and turning.
These gloves are a real investment to evolve in this sport and my coaches are actually very impressed by this tool.
Would 10000% recommend !!

Thank you for your review of our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Victoire. We are so happy to hear that they have been a game changer for you and your horse. We are thrilled that your coaches are impressed with the results as well. Thank you for recommending our gloves and for choosing to evolve in this sport with us. Happy riding!

Game changer!

I am recovering from an ankle injury so I can only walk atm, my trainer is schooling otherwise. I didn’t want to just amble around so invested in the gloves to improve my connection and position. It’s already been amazing and my hands are consistently better even without the straps. So pleased and can’t wait until I’m able to do more to see/feel the difference. 100% recommend 👍

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with our SteadyHands Riding Gloves Liz! We hope that as you continue to heal, the gloves will continue to make a difference for you. Thank you for your recommendation and happy riding!

Delighted

Delighted with the steady gloves. My daughter (13) grew very quickly and therefore couldn't keep her heads steady. We searched for something that could help her during this period and came along the steady hands gloves. Very expensive, but worth the try.

This company has a very good service, helped with picking the good size and when there was a little fault in delivery, they responded immediately and came with a solution right away.

My daughter now trained with them three times and there is a huge difference in her hands and therefore also in the pony. She says that she now is more aware of her moving left hand (which can't move that much anymore with these gloved) and we hope over time she will have the steady hands as she had before.

So, when you are in doubt, I would definitely recommend to buy. Both service and product are really worth it 🩷 only negative thing is probably the shipping time and that there is no selling point in the Netherlands.

Thank you so much for your review Silvia! We are thrilled to hear that our SteadyHands Riding Gloves have made a positive difference for your daughter and her pony. We are also glad to hear that you appreciated our customer service and that we were able to help you find the right size. We apologize for any delay in shipping and hope to expand our presence in the Netherlands in the future. Thank you again for choosing our product and we wish your daughter continued success in her training.

Equisk bands

These bands gave me instant feedback, making me more aware of my position, posture and movement. I have a tendency to lean to my left and these bands completely corrected it and I’ve noticed a big improvement in this issue since using the bands. The difference these bands make in my riding is unreal, not only that but the difference in my horse when I’m engaged is incredible. I would recommend these to anyone no matter your riding level

RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt

Hi Christian, thank you for your review of our RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt. We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with your purchase. Happy riding!

Comfy reminder

Steady hands really help me remember to keep my thumbs up and not to wiggle my hands too much. It’s a really great support in my daily riding.
I was hesitant to buy them for a long period of time, because of the price, but when I got them not only they support so much, but also these are the most comfortable gloves I have ever own.
I can tack up horse wearing them, without any issue. My previous gloves were too slippery or didn’t allow me to fasten small buckles of the bridal. I’m recommending it to everyone in the stable!

Absolutely love these 😍

Absolutely love these bands, helped so much with my straightness, posture and position making my horse so much happier!

Great training shirt

So hard to find a shirt that visually assists when watching a rider. This one works great and when you okay back a video of them riding they ‘get it’ immediately before you even have to say anything!! So glad I found them

Thank you so much for your review! We're thrilled to hear that our RideStraight CLASSIX long-sleeve shirt has been helpful in your training sessions. We're glad you found us too! Happy riding!

Fantastic products

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!

It's great to know that our products are not only functional, but also educational. We appreciate your support and are happy to be a part of your clients' riding journey.

So far so good!!

I only rode with them for the first time today. Great fit, nice grip and they come apart easily.I have been recovering from a groin strain so not much riding has been happening. Wearing the gloves felt like it just allowed me to make better use of my body while riding, not relying on my hands so much. Excited!!!!

Hi Kathryn, thank you for leaving a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves! We're thrilled to hear that they provided a great fit and grip for your first ride with them. We hope they continue to help with your recovery and make your rides even better. Thank you for choosing our product and happy riding!

Brilliant

I bought these on a whim as my hands are my biggest weakness - and somehow, in a span of a week my hands have improved drastically. After 12 years (I am a slow learner), I have finally figured out how to hold my hands with and without the gloves to hold them still. It also encourages the use of my legs and is much nicer for my horse’s contact.

This is a MUST HAVE product!

A dressage rider introduced us to these at our H/J barn. We are all hooked now. For me personally, they have made a complete change with the effortless communication with my horse. Honestly, I feel that every trainer should require these of their students. Imagine the next generation of riders having soft supple communication…we require helmets for riders, these gloves should be a requirement to ride horses. Thank you for this product!!!!

Steady Hands - Thumbs Up!

These gloves are worth purchasing to increase hand awareness. The Velcro is strong enough to maintain tension but readily releases when you need your hands. They are not binding. These aren't for everyday riding, more like an exercise for gaining spatial awareness. Gets your brain thinking differently about your hand position.

Hi Michelle, thank you for leaving a review for our SteadyHands Riding Gloves. We're thrilled to hear that they have helped increase your hand awareness. Thank you for choosing our product and happy riding!

EngageRider Resistance bands from Equisk

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."
