Balance Bands

These patented bands are a horse training aid made from super stretchy elastic and are designed to help a horse find better balance while working without a rider. The two adjustable front bands attach to either side of the bit on one end and are then secured to each stirrup bar on the other end. The back band attaches to the D-rings on either side of the saddle and is then lowered around the back legs of the horse where it should fit loosely just above the hocks.

The Balance Bands are designed to actively simulate a rider's rein and leg contact on a horse while working from the ground. Combined with the horse's normal saddle and bridle, the Balance Bands effectively create the feel of an experienced rider for the horse without the additional burden of carrying the rider's weight.  This allows a horse to feel the support that a rider can provide without the restrictions of a fixed rein, static head position or head mechanism.  By using the Balance Bands, a horse can develop more balance and flexibility as well as enhance the muscles that aid in achieving a bio-mechanically correct collected frame with comfort and ease. The bands come in two sizes; one for Pony-to-medium size horse, and large-to-draft horse.
