Here's a lovely testimonial from a lady who has found the RS-tor beneficial for sitting through bucks!
I purchased two RS-tors at Badminton horse trials, one for my friend who has a horse that spooks and when she loses her balance the horse has a tendency to buck. Interestingly since I gave it her and she put it on the saddle she has not needed it. My horse has however had a few issues and can seriously buck. I have found it brilliant at stopping you losing your balance and pulling on the reins and at times when the horse leaps through the air keeping me in line with the saddle. I have had three or four very difficult and explosive moments on my horse and it has been defused because I have been able to sit quietly to the situation. I think it is a brilliant invention and would advocate it for anyone whose horse is prone to the odd explosive buck. Thank you, B. Cooper |

Event rider Polly Tucker has recently begun using the RS-tor; here's what she says -
"I am such a fan of the RS Tor; it could stop a rider having a very nasty fall, and allow a rider to feel more secure - I have found it beneficial to my riding. It's a fantastic and revolutionary design. My two Thoroughbreds can be quite hot headed, & we have had lots of bucks and spooks; but with the RS Tor I feel anchored and safe in the saddle."

Susi Rogers Hartley competes within British Para Show Jumping Association and British Show Jumping Association competitions, and is highly regarded showjumper. She is a fan of the RS-tor riding safety aid. "It is a good piece of kit - it has come in handy during my horse's frollicks!! In fact the rest of the yard seem to be stealing it," Susi tells us. "I'm currently using it on hacks when my horse is at his spookiest."

Sarah Millis consistently in the top five placings of the British Dressage small tour rankings, and finds the RS-tor a useful riding aid.
Sarah has represented Great Britain at many European dressage championships and senior international events, and says: “The RS-tor may be useful if you need to keep your hands up and mobile, in comparison to a neck strap or balance strap, whereby your hands are low and fixed. As an example, if a horse starts to buck, the RS-tor allows you movement to try and get the horse’s head up, while also keeping you secure. The RS-tor does work.”
