The RS-tor Rider Security Aid is an innovative product for horse riders that helps develop rider balance, and allows the rider to stay safer in the saddle during any discipline or activity.

The strap is approximately the length of the rider's forearm and includes an elasticated element that absorbs movement. The rider holds the end of the RS-tor, which is shaped like a riding crop handle.
The RS-tor Rider Security Aid is safe simple security.
