Equestrian Coach BHSI, worked many years in Canada and USA, Coached at National Centre New Zealand 51/2 years, now freelance, National Coach for NZPony Clubs Assn., SPARC Level 111 coach, Performance coach ESNZ.
Devised TeleRein to measure contact on riders' reins, with radio receiver to Coach hand held receiver, ona scale 1 - 12, being 300 grms to 13kg. Suitable for flat or jumping riders, riange up to 60 metres.
I have Multiple Sclerosis, no real proprioceptive sense, and my sensations can change without warning. My riding teachers tell me I have good hands, the horses are light and responsive, with relaxed tongues and lower jaws. I rarely put much pressure into my contact, and I try to make my hand aids by just tweaking my relaxed little finger.
If it shows the hands seperately it might help my teachers to tell me when I start losing contact. I often do not notice right away.

Your TeleRein sounds interesting, but I fear my contact may be too light to register. Good for you developing it!

How much would it cost me?
