Anyone like the Symmetry Training straps?

[ginnyspinner]

Does anyone use these training straps? I have bought a pair and used them twice and they are really great!!
I have a problem keeping my legs (especially recently broken one) from creeping backwards and hence me then tipping forward and "perching" on the front of the saddle - which in turn encourages Carly onto her forehand (bad! bad!).
Since using these, my naughty legs stay where they are supposed to be and my weight is in my seat - I sit up!!!
Flatwork was just stunning yesterday, plus now I can concentrate on my other bad habits wthout focusing on my legs.
Cannot reccomend highly enough.

I do from time to time, when I can remember to put them on.

I think they are very useful & showed how much my lower leg swung about as they nearly jerked me off when I first went into trot !!!

I have thought about getting some of these for sometime as one of my legs has a habit of sneaking backwards when I jump.

What happens when you take them off though? Do your legs revert back to their naughty ways??

Don't know - muscles are supposed to have memories and can therefore be trained into a new way of being!!!

Can also be achieved with baler twine for the tight people

I tried using baler twine but did it too tightly and pulled a muscle in my leg, it was extremely painfull!

Absolutely hated mine and gave them away to another forum member, not sure how she got on with them!
