Balanced movement

Encourages coordinated movement and targeted core activation, supporting the muscles involved in balance and self carriage.

Common questions

  • CORE by D is an elastic core training system that combines a premium saddle pad with attachable training bands. Use the pad on its own for everyday riding, or clip on the bands in 30 seconds to add targeted core activation. One system for both.

  • Both systems use elastic resistance bands based on the same well-established training principles with core activation. The difference is the riding experience. CORE by D offers a premium saddle pad, crafted for everyday riding with premium materials, elegant colours and a refined finish. When you want to include targeted core training, simply attach the elastic bands. Because we sell directly to riders rather than through distributors, we're able to offer a price typically €100 to €120 lower than comparable systems.

  • Start with 2–3 sessions per week but shorter sessions (5–10 min) and see how your horse responds. Then increase the time gradually up to 20 min. As your horse builds strength, you can use it more frequently. Many riders make it part of their weekly routine.

    Always use the hind band together with the belly band. The belly band can be used on its own.

  • Most riders notice a difference within 3–4 weeks of regular use. Common improvements include better balance, more even movement, improved self-carriage, and a calmer, more body-aware horse.

  • Available in Shetland, Pony, Cob and Full. Choose the same size you normally use for saddle pads, it will work 9 times out of 10. Both dressage and jump pad style are available.

  • The saddle pad can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Training bands should be rinsed under running water only. Premium materials designed for everyday use and easy care.

What riders say

Training with confidence

As a first-time horse owner, I was afraid of doing harm. CORE by D gave me a way to train with confidence. Diamond took to it quickly, and it shows.

First-time owner
A gradual, real change

My horse was sceptical at first. Within a few sessions he had settled. The change in how he moves and carries himself has been gradual, consistent, and real.

Recreational rider
Simple and honest

Elegant in colour, simple in use. You know the horse is working, without any force.

Leisure rider
On days when I am not at my best

The best equipment I have ever used. On days when I am not at my best as a rider, it helps me still give my horse a proper session.
