I have worked alongside Vickie at Dennis Eventing for two decades, rehabilitating horses both mentally and physically. It has been very rewarding seeing the horses improve but the difficult part has always been reintroducing the rider. What may seem to be a quick fix needs to be maintained with good, balanced, effective riding.
As most horses have been asymmetrical, they have often made the rider unbalanced or vice versa. With the use of Equiseat Aid, the rider can be helped to maintain straightness and balance. I have seen and experienced the profound changes and improvement of both rider and horse pre and post use of Equiseat Aid, enabling the rider to continue strengthening and training the horse in a much more effective manner without the need for constant correction. This is such a huge benefit to the horse, the rider and to me!
A recent example of such a case was a horse I hadn’t actually treated but was able to observe having a lesson with and without the rider using Equiseat Aid. Without Equiseat Aid, the horse was very asymmetrical, unlevel on the offside hind, crooked initially, offside hind reduced track up and movement away from body (abduction). He was also noticeably unlevel both standing and in movement.
The horse improved with the use of Equiseat Aid on the left leg of rider, to balance the compensation, straightening the horse and stopping over-use of the near shoulder and improving the flight and stride length of the offside hind. I was absolutely astonished how much improvement I had witnessed, and having experienced Equiseat Aid in use for myself I'm happy to give a 5*****. rating. Highly recommended!
