How does it work?

The red strap allows your hands and body to follow your horse’s movement in a walk. The green strap allows you to sit in a more forward position encouraging a deeper heel, aiding balance during a rising trot, canter and jumping position. In addition, it gives you confidence and stability during those ‘spooky moments’. 

Please ensure you start with a well-fitted saddle and bridle.

Place the Balancer over the head so it rests in front of the shoulders. The red strap sits closest to the saddle and the green strap sits on the neck just in front of the withers.

Place the girth connection through the girth of your saddle making sure it lies in the middle of the front legs. Attach the two clips onto the D rings on each side of the saddle. 

Adjust all straps to fit your horse’s conformation. 

The Balancer should be snug but not over-tight to restrict movement. 

Ensure all adjustments are made before fully tightening the girth.   

 
The Rider Balancer is a ‘rider aid’ it won’t eliminate ‘falls’ or difficult situations whilst riding, but it will help you feel more secure and more in control. Remember, at all times, ride with a correctly fitted hat, tack and suitable riding boots. 

Your Balancer is made from high-quality ‘eco-friendly’ recyclable Polypropylene cushioned webbing, handcrafted in the UK. As with all tack, regular stitching and clip checks are required. The Balancer can be washed by hand or in a machine (best to use a suitable wash bag to ensure your washing machine is not damaged in any way).
