A ribbon for a steadier hand
It is not easy to keep your hands steady, to carry them in front of you and to have a soft and constant contact with the horse’s mouth. Because sometimes the elbows are then away from the upper body, which immediately makes the hands restless or the hands are carried too wide. To prevent this and to get used to the correct hand position, the Assistant Band helps and supports you in the learning process.
Using the Assistant Band

Calmer hand position
The elastic band makes the hands calmer, the elbows are brought closer to the upper body, which stabilizes the whole arm.

Prevents the hand from being too wide
For example, if you are training for a dressage task, the band will help you keep your hands as close to each other as you adjust the band. A broad hand position is no longer possible here.

Elastic band allows movement
The elastic is flexible enough to allow movement in the arm in case a horse gets frightened. It also withstands even strong pressure without opening.

Fast opening
The Assistant Band has a loop so that it doesn’t fly away when it opens and you can quickly slip out of the band without it falling off. In addition, it has a magnetic lock so that it opens immediately with a quick jolt, so that you don’t get stuck.
So improve your hand posture with the help of the Assistant Band
Hints
Important: This tape is used to train for a steady and correct hand position, as desired according to the FN. If you ride with a sideways reins or a slightly wider hand, the band will get in the way.
The small loop for the hand is universally adjustable, as is the entire elastic band. So you can choose the width of the desired hand position as you would like it to be.
At the beginning you have to get used to the band, because it can happen that you first work against the tape. We therefore recommend that you only apply a slight pull to the band and not want to hold your hands too far apart and press against the band.
Vivien –
Ich durfte das Assistant Band einige Wochen für Howana testen. Die ersten Minuten war das Gefühl mit dem Band ungewohnt und ich hatte mich etwas verspannt da ich zu viel Zug auf das Band gebracht hatte. Nachdem ich den Zug aber reduziert hatte, hat mir das Band sehr geholfen meine Hände ruhiger zu halten, die Ellenbogen besser am Körper zu halten und die Schulterblätter zu stabilisieren.
Daumen hoch für den kleinen Alltagshelfer.
