Pilot Study News
In June 2024, Animalweb’s Dr David Marlin and Dr Roberta Blake conducted a pilot study for the Equiseat Aid at ARU Writtle. Five riders on ARU Writtle’s mechanical horse were assessed while riding without and with the Equiseat Aid.
Animalweb’s Dr David Marlin concluded that “Initial results showed a significant improvement in all riders’ shoulder symmetry when riding with the Equiseat Aid compared to riding without it”.
Vickie Dennis, founder of Equiseat Aid, added: “We are delighted with the results of the pilot trial carried out by Dr David Marlin and his team at Animalweb. We developed Equiseat Aid to help riders work at being as balanced and symmetrical as possible in the saddle. The initial results from the trial demonstrate that wearing an EquiSeat Aid has a positive effect on the rider’s shoulder symmetry in the saddle, which is fantastic news!
We’re looking forward to increasing the scope of our trial by collaborating with Dr David Marlin and ARU Writtle to collect more comprehensive data and analytics, as well as to broaden the testing to Animalweb members. Stay tuned for more news in the coming months.
