Training different horses, ages, and styles like dressage, show jumping, or racing? Light Hand has your back! It’s your all-in-one tool for clear communication and a gentle touch, no matter what situation you’re in.
For Young Riders:
We know the challenges young riders face—their first canter, too-strong signals, or those accidental hand movements which cause pulls on the horses’ mouth that can confuse our four-legged friends. Light Hand helps cancel out confusing signals, making their ride smoother, and boosting their horse’s confidence.
For Young Horses:
Training young horses, especially when they’re learning to take the bit, can be tricky. Light Hand becomes the solution, offering shock-absorbing capabilities that build trust and confidence in the rider’s hand. This freedom allows the horse to find a comfortable position, making the learning process smoother and more enjoyable.
For Problem Horses:
Got a horse with some challenges? Whether it’s hypersensitivity or defensive behavior, Light Hand brings exceptional shock absorption to rebuild trust in the rider’s hand. After just a few sessions, watch the magic unfold—increased relaxation and improved behavior.

In horse riding schools, children often face challenges in mastering proper contact without causing any harm to their equine friends. Light Hand steps in as the invaluable solution, creating a safer, more comfortable, and positive experience for both the rider and the horse. It’s the key to building trust and enhancing the learning process.
For All Riders and Horses:
No matter your skill level or your horse’s personality, Light Hand is the universal go-to. Feel the simplicity of effective communication, a gentle touch, and a better connection to the bit. It means a smoother ride and more enjoyment for you and your horse.
Light Hand acts as a translator, allowing your horse to understand the signals of your messages as you ride.
Unlock the full potential of Light Hand with these simple yet effective guidelines:
1. Ensure Correct Attachment:
Always attach Light Hand correctly. Begin by attaching the small carabiner-sized device to the bit, ensuring the logo faces away from the horse’s mouth. This ensures optimal functionality and communication.
2. Handle Piston with Care:
Gently use the device and avoid applying lateral forces to the piston. Treating it with care contributes to its longevity and effectiveness.
3. Maintain Balanced Reins:
Achieve a balanced and appropriate tension in the reins, allowing for clear communication without over-tightening. This ensures a comfortable experience for the horse.
4. Choose Properly Fitted Bits:
Select a well-fitted bit that complements Light Hand. Avoid using excessively thick bits to encourage lightness and clarity in communication.
5. Follow Progressive Training:
Introduce Light Hand gradually, starting with straight lines and large circles. Progress systematically to promote a positive learning experience for the horse.
6. Practice Patience in Training:
Exercise patience during training sessions, allowing the horse time to adapt and understand the signals provided by Light Hand. Positive reinforcement and gradual progress contribute to success.
Remember, while these guidelines provide a solid foundation, consulting with your trainer is always advisable to ensure the Light Hand’s effective integration into your unique riding routine. Enjoy the transformative experience that Light Hand brings to your horse riding journey!
