Absolutely thrilled with my Balanced Support Reins!
I am disabled with rheumatoid arthritis and have poor hand mobility and very little strength. My lovely horse Ivy learned very quickly if she dropped her head my hands would be pulled out of the loops, very frustrating. Have used the reins three times and she has already learned that she can no longer do it. It has given my confidence a much-needed boost.
I was being told to get rid of him. He's dangerous. He's too much for Arabella... get her a safer pony.. and my last ditch attempt was balance reins after they had been suggested to me by a pony club instructor, and oh my goodness, what a difference they have made.
Now, Arabella is confidently off Lead rein, doing pony club rallies alone, and even competed all on her own this weekend for the first time. This would never have been possible before .. and it’s all thanks to her Balanced Support Reins reins.
We have been a fan of Balanced Support Reins for a few years now, and have just upgraded to the loop handles - and wow!! They are just incredible for these little riders with little hands (and probably too big pony … but he’ll last her!) we’re still very much in the lead rein strange but confident these are going to help Jasmine get the basics of keeping hold of her reins and turning. Amazing customer service, get the product!
Game changer! My daughter was having her arms pulled from our naughty pony and just like magic balance support reins stop her from being used as a rag doll in the show ring can't recommend these enough..... @amelias_showing_life says it all!
“Wonder! My twin girls were struggling with their white unicorn pulling them from the saddle but thanks to Balanced Support Reins they can enjoy 100% of their time spent in the saddle. What a relief! "

“ We are delighted with the reins!
Thanks to them, my daughter regained self-confidence and gained a steady hand and the pony who was very crazy became a teacher without bad times. "

"We have had our reins for a few years now and they've helped both my daughters so much! Ceilidh, our beloved but at times naughty Welsh Sec A has been prevented from much grass eating and dragging small people from the saddle in the process. I also find her bucks less enthusiastic too! One of the best things is being able to use them while jumping too.”

We absolutely love our Balance Support Reins! We have them in half rubber and plaited. They have helped my daughter with going off the lead at the age of 5 with quite a cheeky pony to maintain contact even when she’s slightly unbalanced with her hands and stopped him putting his head down for a cheeky snack!
These reins have been absolutely invaluable for my son and his development of riding! He has autism and has difficulty keeping the reins in the right place. Now he has got a good balance and seat and doesn't feel that he needs to hold the saddle anymore. It's also easier for him to steer his pony. He also gains more strength and feels more secure when his pony lowers its head to eat grass.
I’ve recently purchased a pair of these absolutely brilliant reins. Honestly, they are most definitely worth the money. No more pulling my daughter out of her seat to eat something. The pony soon learned that she couldn’t do it anymore so now listens so much more. A brilliant invention. I went for a pony size for our 12hh pony. I phoned a while back and they were very helpful on the phone. A prompt delivery service too and I got a great deal!
We have used BSR for nearly a year on our 12.1 mini cob. She had started to snatch at the reins when my daughter was riding (never with me), which was denting my daughter's confidence and hurting her arms and fingers. The BSR has completely changed her riding. Our pony still tries occasionally to pull down but once she feels the resistance she stops. It removes the strain on my daughter and stops the reins from being pulled through her fingers. Initially, we bought pony size but they were just a little too short, easy prompt communication to swap for XL pony size.
My eldest is 7 and has been having a slight knock to his confidence lately. We don’t know why. His pony is green off LR but everything has always gone so smoothly. I couldn’t work out what to fix if I didn’t really see what the problem was. Anyway, placed an order and they literally arrived the next day. I am astounded at his immediate calm attitude and there were no tears. He rode with sheer confidence again and he kept telling me that he had magic reins. We absolutely Love them and cannot thank you enough for your wonderful product and service.
