BTB: Frenemy gift idea: Sitting trot seat belt

Frenemy gift idea: Sitting trot seat belt Posted: 19 Dec 2010 12:44 PM PST Have you seen the Unisit rider "seat belt"? One look and you know what it's for. While it is a delightfully insulting gift idea for the frenemy, the "buzz" on the listservs is that this is a useful tool for teaching how the correct sitting trot feels. At $179, it doesn't strike me as the kind of thing an individual would buy -- a riding instructor or trainer might use it on different students to give them a feel for sitting the trot. Hmmm. Doesn't look safe That was my first thought, but instructors who have used the device assure me that  there is a quick-release feature in the event the rider falls, because when all is said and done we never wish ill of our frenemies. Ideally, I'd prefer to have someone knowledgable show me how this thing works and how to adjust it safely. The product comes with a video that presumably helps with this. If you're gonna strap yourself to a 1200 lb horse, you'd better know you're doing it right.
