Keep your hands down! And don’t fall off!!
Why is it that when things start going badly, our instinct is to lean forward and raise our hands?? This is seriously the WORST thing to do and yet we all seem to do this!
You will notice that when your hands come up, you lean forward, your center of gravity comes up and off of the horse, and you end up in a precarious position if your horse decides to drop their shoulder and turn to the side!!
Ok great! So how do we fix this?!
Put a grab strap on the front of your saddle - and don’t be ashamed! Many of the top riders in this sport have a grab strap on their saddle!!
How do you use the grab strap?
- Hold the grab strap with your hand along with your outside rein
- Be sure that when you pull on the grab strap you sit back and pull yourself deeper into the saddle rather than out of the saddle!
-The grab strap can also be useful for if your hands are unsteady or if you tend to ride with your hands too high.
Watch the video to see how I use the grab strap when I am riding!
Here's a link to a grab strap but check your local saddlery too if you prefer not to shop online.

Oh thank you! Your demonstration of your hands going up and body tipping forward is so me. My horse spooked the other week and I reacted, as you showed, and we ended up out of the arena! I've got a grab strap but you're the first to actually show me how to use it - I've been trying to hook my little fingers in but then have no control with the rein aids. Virtual hug. Wow.
Haha thanks for the virtual hug Linda! (and thanks for watching and subscribing too!!)
Thanks for making the grab strap a grown up accessory. I always have one on my saddle and it has saved my butt countless times. And helps so much with training the hands!
In the UK we call these a balance strap. I have always used them and are very useful in a variety of situations. For young inexperienced horse, riders, horses who lack confidence out hacking, in the arena, horses getting a little excited in group endurance riding. One of my horses is a 14 year old ex show horse who sustained a eye injury and has blurred vision on his right side. He spooks and instantly jumps to the left, the balance strap helps me to stay in the saddle, keep relaxed and gives him confidence. With the strap we can still enjoy sessions in the arena and hacking in the English countryside with pheasants jumping out of hedges!
Aren't they the best! Thanks for watching Kat.

Ok that’s the lot I promise. Have an awesome day! 🐴
I do have a grab strap and used it not long ago when my horse spooked it was a great save.
Congratulations 👏. You are a perfect horse lady ❤️
Perfect timing for me Amelia. My trainer was just telling me about this. It looks so easy when watching videos, but is difficult for me to keep my hands still. I imagine using a grab strap will help develop the muscle memory to tackle this problem and allow me to concentrate on the many other riding techniques that need work! Thanks Amelia!
Oh great idea Helen! Thanks for watching!
I just started lessons again after 30 years away. The saddle I use has a grab strap. I had never seen one before and I am very appreciative that it is there! Thanks for the video. 😊
Using a grab strap made all the difference in steadying my young mare. I was annoying her with my unsteady hands and from using it I was able to train my arms into doing the right thing. Was thrilled to learn they are allowed in competition toon (at least at lower levels).
Yes!! They for sure are allowed at competitions!
And this is so great, BTW. I never really knew how to use this strap deliberately. It was always more like clutching and holding on rather than steadying my hands and shoring up the outside rein.
Same!
I had a grab strap since I have owned my dressage saddle. I also have one on my jumping saddle
I have a "oh shit strap" a friend advised me to get! Because of this video I started using it to help me sit back better and keep my hands down! Works like a charm! Thx Amelia!
That's what call them too 😁
Thank you! I have one and took it off, never really used it much. It is going back on :)
I also find my grab strap to be useful in keeping me centered and not leaning to one side or the other on turns. I use it on trails to train myself to not motorcycle those sharp turns.
Good Morning Amelia: I totally forgot about the grab strap. I had 1 25 years ago on my saddle when I had my first OTTB. I don't know where it went but I just ordered 3 new ones from Amazon. Also in 2013 I took a clinic with Julio Mendoza and he suggested simply using bailing twine around the neck for the feel of the outside rein before neck straps came in. I rode with the bailing twine neck strap for about 8 months. I recently went back to using that neck strap 1 month ago on my 5 year old OTTB because he can be tricky with bucking into the canter. Great advice. 👍 I love it and will using the grab strap in your clinic 2 weeks.
Yes! They are great to have on the saddle!!
I love it you are awesome trainer I love all your lessons and experiences thank you ❤❤❤
LOVE this. Thank you
I am so glad I found your channel. Very well explained, rationalised, and demonstrated. Thank you!
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
The alternative to a grab strap is a Tellington Touch Neck strap for Bridle free riding. It attaches to the saddle front D with another strap and button secure fitting often found on outdoor jackets. A friends loves these.
They don't slide away but sit around the lower neck.
I still grab the mane if pushed. No shame at all. Stay safe👍💕🌈
The horse I ride has a grab strap on his saddle, but I never really knew how to use it without just grabbing it in a panic (which I sometimes forget to do and my hands just go up)! Thanks for breaking it all down in an easy to follow way - the best way to hold it with the reins and also when to use it
Thanks for the excellent tips!
I lost my confidence in canter recently and because I'm nervous I feel really unstable and I think next time I ride this will really help me sit back and be more stable. Thank you ❤
Best of luck! Keep me posted!
I will try this great tip
This helped me so much riding on Monday! Thank you.
Excellent tip! For whatever reason my hands are horrible when riding. I have moved to using a strap around the neck. But you have to remember! Mercurial is such a nice guy! Kudos to all the horses in your videos!
ONly seeing this message now and I'd jut sent you on this video as a suggestion to your last reply! Sorry Stephanie!
Oh, you make it looks so easy :). ! I enjoy all the help in your instructional videos...thank you!!
Another great video! Yes to the grab strap aka Oh S**t strap! It's really helped me so many times. Amelia, wearing the sun shirt with the arm stripe really shows where your arm placement is. Very helpful video!👌 Thanks again. 🐎 😊
You're so welcome and thanks for watching!
I'd love to see more meal recipes of what you eat daily to keep so rider fit, especially dinner ideas 💡 😋
Awesome video! My trainer called it a Bucking Strap bc in the canter departure my mare would sort of give a little buck. However, after putting it on the saddle for that, we also found it was so helpful to help me with my outside rein AND to keep my hands down. Thank you for this video!
That’s that for! It attached with the saddle of my lesson horse, but I wasn’t sure what’s that for. My lesson horse easily spook especially when I’m riding in the trail. It’s good to know I can hold it. Also, my hands are all over. Thanks Amelia!
Thanks Amelia! I have always had a grab strap. It’s saved me from falling many times. It also helps me to keep the outside rein on and steady.
Ha! Well whatta ya know! I recently put the grab strap on my saddle but didn’t know it was this useful, I didn’t have any idea this is how you use it. I assumed it was just like an “Oh Shit” handle! I was curious how I would collect my thoughts enough on way to the ground to remember I have the grab strap and how I would have time to remind myself to grab the thing! Thank you! Very helpful again! Time after Time 😉😎
Very good
Yeah i tend to lift my hands especially in downward transitions and was wondering what I could do to assist. Will check with my instructor about these as the lesson horses I ride only have the neck straps as part of the running martingale. Tx timing perfect as usual
Great video!And your riding ist stunning Amelia.Thanks!
Thank you so much Katerina! And thanks for watching!

Hi Amelia. I have just started using a balance strap on my high energy reactive 6 year old, steadying my outside rein has definately helped. Like Julie I have been using the velcro keeper straps on the saddle pad on my older dressage horse who has a big bouncy trot which helps me sit alot deeper. I have not joined the two keepers together as just holding one side helps me to keep my thumb on top. I think your balance strap is a bit longer than mine. Thank for the videos they are very inspiring.
Halfway into the video I went to the store to grab a grab strap. I'm gonna use it tomorrow for the first time. Thanks Amelia! ♥
Love the grab strap! Really helps my seat in the canter. If the saddle doesn’t have a strap, I’ve also used the Velcro keeper straps that are on some saddle pads by attaching them to each other (with a little twist to line up the Velcro) creating a big loop that sits in front of the saddle. Also, the first time I used the grab strap was during a lesson on a longe line, a great way to try it out if you’re nervous about it.
Great idea Julie! Thanks so much for watching!

Ok... I need to add one of these! I never thought of it helping to steady my outside rein! I have a tendency to "give it away" this would definitely help! Thanks ❤ 😊
They're the best Lori! Thanks for always watching!
me too
I have one on my saddle: I thought about a neck strap but I don’t understand how they don’t slide down the horses neck! I thread my air vest clip through the grab strap. To be honest I never thought about riding with a hand holding the grab strap and I’m going to try that (my horse likes to scoot sideways/ spook and one time he randomly leapt in the air resulting in a fractured pelvis for me - hence the air vest and grab strap). Thank you for the advice and encouragement Amelia! I’m changing barns soon and that always makes my horse extra ‘looky’, nice to know I can hold my grab strap and feel no shame 😁
You're so welcome Natalie, and thanks for watching and subscribing Natalie! Yeah absolutely no shame in the grab strap!

Amelia, thank you so much for the strap episode - it is a perfect solution! It reminded me when about holding onto the martingale when transitioning to canter (I used to do it for security when we first cantered in on the trails). My mare struggles with right lead canter in the arena and I get frustrated and tense up and then she struggles even more. Holding to the strap with my outside hand was a game changer yesterday! All your videos provide awesome solutions to our riding issues. Excellent videos!

Also refer to it as ‘bucking strap’ Always ride with one 😍 Especially useful when teaching flying changes on an ‘exuberant’ horse 😆 It’s also great to use in a lunge line lesson, no reins, just use grab strap to learn to sit the trot and canter 😉
They're so handy aren't they! Thanks for watching Sandra!

I used the grab strap during my ride yesterday. It does take getting used to. And I noticed that my hands were much more steady. I am going to try the rubberband help as well. Also the scrambled egg things also works really well.
Thanks so much for watching and subscribing Sylvia! Yeah the strap really helps.
I have grab strap on my saddle but didnt really no how to use it. Thanks for your video very useful. Thks so much.....

I have a grab strap for my 5 year old, it has given me tremendous confidence in the canter depart.
Super!!
So glad I found your channel! I've never used a grab strap before but I definitely think this will help with my young mare. Also, what saddle are you riding in? It looks super comfy and I haven't found one yet that I really love for my new horse.
I'm glad to hear that! I ride in saddles from Custom Saddlery :)
This is awesome. I am new to riding and had one made and the lady told me it"s called a "granny strap". I am battling with flappy hands so this is perfect . Thank you....

Yes , yes, yes to all you say! Been there, fallen off, got the strap and use it. Although I did find the idea VERY useful to lean back and sit deeper....Off to try it now! Thank you Amelia!

Such a good idea! My new horse has a really big canter compared to what I’m used to and I find myself lifting my hands and leaning forward but it just makes everything worse! Will try a bit of baling twine and see if it helps! Thank you ☺️

Ok that’s the lot I promise. Have an awesome day! 🐴
I’m so glad you demonstrated how to use the strap at all the gaits, my hands bounce too much and my horse has what your husband calls out of body experiences on occasion so the strap is a necessary for me until i progress further in my riding. Question is when holding at the canter do you maintain the same contact or give just a little bit on the rein to accommodate the head motion so I don’t bump his mouth when his head goes down?
Hi Lisa! I would try to keep the contact in the canter if possible!
Yes this morning i introduce the strap. Omg. what does my right hand do unconsciously. I hade a super nice ride en a wunderful canter.
That makes me so happy to hear! congradulations!
Great tip with the grab strap thank you! My hands always rise when I go into canter and my instructor will always say Hands down! 👍🏻 xx
You're welcome! And thanks for watching!

There are endless straps available. Which one for keeping outside hand steady?
It works for me! no strap yet.I Just imagine there would be a strap. Thanks to Amelia :)
I used a flash that I don’t use on my bridle and made my own grab strap. I used it today since my hands are not as steady as I need. Horse went better when I had a more stable outside rein due to grab strap.
Awesome! It's such a great tool! Thanks for watching!

@@AmeliaNewcombDressage I used it again yesterday to stablize my outside rein and he exploded, tried to rear, run through the fence, ran sideways...not a pretty picture. I did mostly walk to settle him down and got him to relax into a lower frame but it took quite a while. He is just not happy being between both reins and legs. He is basically refusing to round. Still a work in progress and will have to forgo a show we entered for this saturday since he's so upset at the moment and this will probably take a few months to work through. :-(
Follow up. I looked up a horse chiropractor online and worked on 2 areas on my horse. 1) his pelvis is tilted forward per chiropractor who worked on him last Thursday. So I used technique for flattening pelvis the back lift. 2) saw TMJ video come up, watched it, he was talking about barrel horses that brace with head up. Release technique was simple. Did that before I rode as well. The difference was immediate! Soft, light in my hand, body more relaxed and he was willing to round and stay on the bit. This ride was the most positive one I have ever had on him. I did both releases post ride as well.
Great video...one friend refers to it as the oh crap strap. I will be using mine tomorrow!

I have both a neck strap and an old flash strap hooked into the D-rings of my saddle.
I actually took a really nasty tumble grabbing for my neck strap, as his lordship had pulled his head (and therefore the strap) down his neck with him. I reached down, overbalanced, and took a dive out the left door. I was fine, beside a pretty nasty concussion and the need for a new helmet.
Oh my goodness Taryn that sounds nasty! Glad you're ok now though! Thanks so much for watching!

Really great!!! Thank you so so much!!!!! I just saw that you use ONE hands only on it. Is this correct? I thought initially while looking that both hands were on it :) :) :) But it is just great!! Thank you so much!!!
One hand is better than two so you can still steer and for safety.
I have a grab strap (your old saddle 😂 Now I need to practice using it as I came off hard the other week in the exact scenario you mentioned! Got out of position when my boy bucked and bolted -he zigged and I zagged 😢 Hoping I can follow your instruction in the moment!
It's that split second decision! But if it's there, then you'll get into the habit!

I think it would be great tip to my teacher for beginners :)

I have a videographer and sometimes I use a PIVO pivo.ai/products/equestrian-edition?ref=RVQlHY8xHEy1SA
I always have grab strap on all my saddles.
Want to improve your position? Check out our FREE mini course on Rider Position: www.ameliasdressageacademy.com/riderpositionminicourse/
Can you send me the link to best order the grab strap from???? Thanks
Look on smartpak or amazon
would using the grab strap while perfecting the sitting trot be an option?
Yes!!
I used a neck strap for a while but worried that if my horse got loose while it was on him and he put his neck down that it could possibly end up around one or both of his feet... I'll try the grab strap now! Thanks.
Grab straps are definitely better! Thanks so much for watching Nancy!

Amelia, could you please add what the dimensions of your balance strap are? Like how long is it? Cannot find any available in-store in my region, so I would like to try making one from an old rein.
Let me check that and come back to you Darryl but in the interim you can use baling twine tied to the D-rings :) Thanks for watching btw!

I am interested in the balance strap too. Can you send information about it, and what to purchase and where? Thanks
Did I miss the link for this Grab Strap? I would like to try the one you are demonstrating with bc it looks a little longer than mine. TY.
That’s a good point. Mine is 12” buckle to buckle and I bought it in the UK visiting my folks. I was like Hurrah, a black grab strap! I compared it to the brown one I had before, purchased here in the states and the brown one was a few inches shorter. They do come in different sizes and if we’re going to be using them the way Amelia suggests longer is probably better.
@@nataliedavies69 Thank you! I looked at mine and it’s about 10” and very little give across. It was always hard to find.
I will go for the 12” one. That size seems apropos for what was shown in the video.
Here's one from Amazon, but if you have a local saddlery it might be worth checking there!

Will a grab strap for and English saddle the same size as one for a Western saddle?
For a western saddle you could use the horn!
@@AmeliaNewcombDressage Right, but it would be difficult to use the horn as a practice tool for keeping your hands down. :)
Can this grab strap be used on a Western Saddle?
I think you would need a longer one but you should definitely rig up something if you need it!
Hi Amelia, How would you work with a naughty horse who crow hops in the canter? This was a problem child I leased a few years back and gave up. Thanks
Hi Stephanie,
I would probably go back to groundwork if they were really naughty, because they need to find their own calm in every situation and work through reactiveness on the ground.
Then I would start at the bottom of the training scale and work slowly with him! Here;s a specific video about relaxing in the canter too.
