Equihandee Bunny Ears
The Secure, Graspable Way to Support Riders with Reduced Dexterity
For many riders with physical disabilities or neurological conditions, maintaining a steady hand position can be an immense challenge. When a rider experiences reduced dexterity or has limited control over their limbs, their instinctive reaction to find balance can result in accidental pulling on the reins, which disrupts the horse and unbalances the rider.
The Equihandee Bunny Ears offer a wonderfully simple and effective solution. This innovative riding aid provides a dedicated, easy-to-grasp anchor point right at the front of the saddle. It gives riders something secure to hold onto, instantly preventing them from pulling on the reins while offering a reliable physical reference point to help them stabilise their upper body.
How It Works
The Equihandee Bunny Ears work by providing an immediate, tactical anchor that promotes proper rider alignment. When a rider tends to tip forward or lose their balance, gripping the Bunny Ears allows them to physically push or pull themselves back into a secure, upright position. It is an exceptional tool for use during lunge line lessons as it allows the rider to completely let go of the reins and focus purely on their seat, posture and core balance, making position corrections easy, clear and straightforward.
Why Parents Love It
Provides an Immediate Anchor Point The unique shape gives small or weak hands an easy, intuitive place to grip. This independent security helps riders feel grounded and secure in the saddle without relying on a constant ground-support hold.
Protects the Horse's Mouth For riders with involuntary movements or spasms, the Bunny Ears act as a safe buffer. By anchoring their hands to the aid rather than the reins, they can enjoy their ride without accidentally pulling on the horse's mouth.
Corrects Forward Tipping If a rider struggles with a weak upper body and tends to collapse forward, the Bunny Ears provide the perfect leverage to help them sit up, open their chest and maintain a centered position.
Super Soft Technical Material Crafted from a specialised technical fabric, the Bunny Ears are incredibly soft and comfortable against sensitive hands, ensuring no rubbing or discomfort during long riding sessions.
