Abstract
A monitoring and feedback device to assist a horse rider in achieving proper balance and posture by measuring one or more load data parameters, such as load magnitude, load angle, or torque, for both stirrups simultaneously and providing visual or audible feedback on that load data to the rider or a non-riding instructor. Load measuring brackets are attached to the stirrup bar of a saddle and each measures one or more of the load data parameters applied. Processing circuitry generates signals for transmitting, either wired or wireless, feedback signals representing the load data to a visual display or sound headset and thereby provides real time information to a rider or non-riding instructor.
