USES FOR THE BAREBACK CONVERTER!

Protection for the horse & rider
Not all horses have arm chair backs – some have high withers! Ouch!

Using the bareback converter with your own saddle pad will give added protection and comfort for both of you.

Note- Alycia personally uses a sheepskin lined saddle blanket- the same one she uses with her saddle 🙂

Learning to ride bareback
Learning to ride bareback can be tricky and very slippery! Using the bareback converter with your own saddle blanket gives a lot of extra grip while still allowing you to feel super close to your horse

Trail Riding
Perfect for longer distance riding, those up & down hills and tricky situations when you could possibly end sliding off or either of you getting sore. 

Starting horses under saddle
Alycia uses the bareback converter with a saddle blanket before she puts a saddle on a horse. This is a kind way to let the horse get use to pressure, it is light weight, the horse can roll with it on without getting hurt or stuck and the rider can lay over the horse without any restrictions. 

Jumping Bareback
Jumping bareback can be tricky! This is a perfect way for the rider to not only have more grip on the horses back but also gives protection for both the horse and rider. 

Equine Therapy
Many riders who go to Equine Therapy are physically unable to sit in a saddle for safety reasons. There is huge benefit physically, mentally & for safety being able to feel the horse closely. Using the bareback converter with a sheepskin offers a safe & comfortable solution for therapy horses & their riders.

USES FOR THE FREE REIN

Beginner Riders
The Free Rein is an easy to use safety rope, which helps beginner riders to stay balanced on the horse… Think of it similar to training wheels on a bicycle!

Bareback
The Free Rein is an excellent neck strap for people who are learning to ride bareback. Holding the Free Rein will help you stay with your horse and help prevent you sliding or bouncing off your horse.

Spooky Horses & Starting Under Saddle
The Free Rein is great for someone who has a spooky horse… weather you are schooling in the arena or our on a trail you can hold onto the Free Rein with one hand whilst still holding your normal reins. When your horse spooks it helps prevent their mouth from getting yanked and helps keep you on your horse.

Trail Riding
Perfect for those up & down hills and tricky situations when you could possibly end up pulling on your horse’s mouth for balance, simply hold the Free Rein for balance and let the horse do its job without interfering

Free Riding
The Free Rein is the ultimate tool for teaching your horse how to Free Ride for turning & stopping.

Lunging without reins- learning to keep hands still
Lunging a rider without the bridle reins is an excellent tool to help the rider develop quiet hands- they cannot pull on the horse’s mouth.
Having a Free Rein around the horses neck helps them stay balanced through their body while keep their hands in the correct place.

Jumping
Learning the correct jump position can be hard for the rider and painful for the horse’s mouth- often leading to a loss of confidence in the team.
Weather you have an unpredictable jumping horse or you’re new to jumping. The Free Rein is the perfect tool to help prevent your horse’s mouth from getting yanked and the rider getting left behind.
Simply shorten the Free Rein and place it up the horse’s neck to hold on to over the jump.
