A round leather strap that attaches to the pommel and provides a firm handle to hold. For a beginner rider, it allows them to regain their balance without pulling on the reins, and therefore without hurting the horse’s mouth when they lose their balance.
Riders working with young horses use it for the same reason, during breaking-in and their first outings.
✨ Key features
- ✔ The rider regains their balance by holding the handle rather than the reins: the horse’s mouth is protected
- ✔ Firm handle, easy to grasp even when off balance
- ✔ Round leather, comfortable in the hand and durable
- ✔ Buckle attachment, stainless steel hardware: fits any saddle
- ✔ Useful for both breaking-in and teaching
📋 Technical specifications
- Material: round leather

🐎 Why choose this product?
When a rider loses their balance, they grab whatever they can find, and that is almost always the rein. The horse then receives a tug in the mouth at the worst possible moment. This strap provides an immediate alternative and offers enough reassurance for the rider to dare let go with their hand.
🧴 Instructions for use
Adjust it short enough that it does not hang in front of the withers, but long enough to be grasped without leaning forward. Check the condition of the leather and buckles before every teaching session. Clean with glycerin soap, then apply leather grease.
Composition: leather, stainless steel.
