Customer Testimonials
Our customer testimonials have been received for the original TeleRein device. Exactly the same system is used in both, just whoever receives the information changes from Coach to Rider.
"I have been using TeleRein with my pupils for several months now. I find it very helpful for riders to understand how much rein pressure they are actually using compared to what they believe they have. Also really helpful with riders that struggle to maintain an even pressure on the reins and hence help to straighten their horses. A very useful training aid for rider and instructor.”
Venessa Way
“Bronwyn said how helpful it was to focus on the consistency in her contact, not so much how heavy or light, but how even, and how that reflected in the straightness and balance of the horse.”
Nicola Ward - Kumeu
“TeleRein is a fantastic tool that gives both trainer and rider instant feedback on the quality of the contact - it is light and easy to use - when riding with it you don't even know it is attached! ”
