The RS-tor has both safety and riding benefits when used for flatwork. Many riders of young, green or spooky horses rely on neck straps, however, these can be dangerous.
International dressage rider, Sarah Millis, says: "When using a neck strap, your hands are too low and fixed. With the RS-tor, if the horse starts to buck, you have the movement to try and get the horse’s head up, while staying secure in the saddle.”
The RS-tor:
- Attaches simply to the saddle; the rider holds the end-piece comfortably – rein contact unaffected
- Allows the rider can carry their hands as normal when schooling
- Assures no ‘fixing’ of the hands, which can occur when a saddle balance strap is used
- Facilitates riding through spooks and bucks with less chance of the rider losing their reins / balance
- Is ideal for home schooling, but may not be used within affiliated dressage competitions
