How Do They Work
Resistance bands are being increasingly used by riding coaches, especially biomechanics coaches or those with physiotherapy backgrounds, as we understand how important they are in helping riders engage the correct muscle chains.
You will immediately feel an increased awareness of your asymmetries and weaker muscle groups while wearing the bands. After even 10 - 15 minutes of riding in the bands, most riders report feeling increased muscle fatigue as a result of consistently engaging the correct muscles. You can start wearing them for longer periods as you become stronger.
Long-term, they will help you to be a straighter, more stable rider. Your position will improve and become more effective. Advanced riders may use them especially to correct crookedness in lateral movements, flying changes and even piaffe/passage.
Riders of all levels will find them helpful in noticing and addressing differences between riding on the right rein and the left rein at all paces.
How to Use the EngagedRider Resistance Bands
No question the bands benefit position. I have however found them impossible to use if I ride alone. You need a very quiet stable horse to adjust them once in the saddle. If you have a helper on the ground they are fine.
I am a human and horse physio and have for years worked on rider balance and biomechanics to improve the way of goin for the horse. I have found that using the bands has assisted this greatly as the rider gets positive feedback as they are riding. It has also helped some of my crooked riders so thank you very much!
I love these bands! From the first time I put them on I got results, my aligned position created a clearer message to my horse and I got better canter strike offs, better balance in turns and I noticed after 3 consecutive rides the muscles I hadn't been engaging previously. Well worth the investment.

Very helpful to wear the banks when learning to keep the body aligned.
Bought them to help teach my daughter to feel her body better. She also has the steady hands gloves.
She wears them under instruction and her coach loves them too.
