You already spend on your horse — this is the one bit of gear that's actually for you, same as your boots. It's not another routine to keep up: boots off, home from the yard, lie down, one button, rest. Nothing to learn, nothing to hold, hands free. If you've tried things that didn't stick, that's exactly why there's a 60-night trial — you judge it the first night, and if it's not for you, send it back.
