“My daughter loves her SymmFit top! When she wears it, we can help her with her position (and bonus - she actually listens!). It’s super comfy, and even more of a bonus, the colours are just beautiful!”

That’s exactly what SymmFit was designed to do - help riders see, feel, and understand their position more clearly, in a way that’s encouraging, not overwhelming.

👀 Helping Riders See What’s Happening

It was brilliant to see so many young riders try on our SymmFit training tops at the National Equine Show earlier this year — and to hear what parents and instructors had to say.

So many parents shared the same story:

“They just don’t listen when we try to help with their riding!”

But the moment their children put on a SymmFit top and saw their position in the mirror or on photo/video - something changed. Suddenly, it wasn’t just mum or dad saying it. They could see it - and that made all the difference.

Instructors loved it too. It helped them explain exactly what they were seeing and made it easier for riders to understand and accept feedback. For young or beginner riders especially, this visual input helps bridge the gap between feel and form.

🎯 Why SymmFit Tops Work for Young Riders

Alignment lines make posture issues easy to spot - for parents, coaches, and the rider themselves.
Riders get visual feedback, which often works better than repeated verbal instructions.
The tops help shift lessons from correction-based to awareness-based - no more “nagging.”
They're comfortable, confidence-boosting, and stylish enough that young riders want to wear them.

SymmFit tops help young riders take ownership of their position - not just be told what to do.
