Spent most of the ride thinking it was too loose and wouldn't work and then a monster pheasant caused my boy to shoot forward, the RS-tor came into play and jammed me into the saddle. I doubt the spook would have caused me to pitch off, if I'm honest BUT I sure felt a lot more secure with the RS-tor. Never shall I doubt it again...." "I love mine. It has given me loads of confidence since I had a really nasty fall last year. It is attached to my saddle all the time. I use it when working in at competitions, whenever my horse is feeling cheeky and when riding in fields or any circumstance when he might get excited and do one of his explosive bucks and leaps. It has revolutionised my riding as I now have much more confidence to do things now. Before I got it I had a grab strap and breastplate but you don't have time to grab them when needed and can't ride with your hands in the normal position if you are holding them. I am so pleased with mine and would highly recommend them to anyone, they definitely aren't just for novices. "
