E-Twist’Air: Feedback from Our Ambassadors

An international dressage rider and amateur show jumper, Anne-Louise has incorporated the E-Twist’Air into her routine to the point where it has become second nature.

From the very first use, the airbag became an essential piece of equipment.

Designed to simplify use without compromising performance, it stands out in particular for its lightness and ease of use.

“It’s lightweight, easy to use… there are no straps to clip in, and it doesn’t get in the way at all. ”

A growing awareness, even at the highest levels

For Anne-Louise, wearing the airbag is also part of a broader reflection on safety while riding.

“I realized that it’s important to prioritize safety, even when you’re a professional.”

A reality confirmed during an incident at a jump.

Following a mishap with one of her horses, the airbag deployed and did its job perfectly.

“The airbag was able to protect me… luckily, neither of us was seriously hurt. ”

In this specific situation, the electronic system made all the difference.

“I stayed in contact with the horse all the way to the ground… perhaps a conventional airbag wouldn’t have deployed in time.”

Technology designed for practical use

The E-Twist’Air relies on an electronic system capable of detecting falls, connected to a mobile app.

It is designed to be simple and intuitive to use.

“You just press the button twice to activate it, and it turns green when it’s ready.”

In addition to the deployment, an integrated back protector provides extra protection in the event of a fall.

A technical approach, designed to support riders in all situations.

Equipment adopted and recommended

After several months of use, Anne-Louise has fully integrated the E-Twist’Air into her riding routine.

“It’s a product I recommend to my friends and family… for their safety.”

Practical, comfortable, and technical, it has become an essential everyday companion.

At Horse Pilot, safety isn’t just an option. For Camille, the airbag has long been a part of her daily riding routine, especially when working with 3- and 4-year-old horses, where the unexpected is part of the learning process.

But it was a life-changing event that deeply reinforced this conviction.

Following a seemingly minor fall from an experienced horse she knew perfectly well, Camille suffered a fractured vertebra.

An accident without any particular violence, but with very real consequences.

“That day, I realized that the consequences can be serious, even in dressage and even with a trusted horse.”

A new habit, a matter of course

Since then, wearing an airbag has become routine.

“Today, we ride every day with the airbag, without exception.”

This shift is part of a broader transformation in equestrian practices.

Just like the helmet, now an essential piece of gear, the airbag is gradually becoming a standard part of a rider’s attire.

Wearing an airbag also means acknowledging the reality of the sport.

“Horseback riding remains a high-risk sport. Wearing an airbag means accepting this reality and taking responsibility.”

A direct impact on performance

Beyond physical protection—back, chest, neck—the impact is also felt mentally.

“Feeling protected frees the mind. ”

More at ease, the rider is also more relaxed, which is directly reflected in the quality of the work.

“Horses are emotional sponges. When you’re more at ease, they feel it too.”

A smoother ride, a better connection, and a more precise response from the horse.

A responsible approach to performance

Today, the E-Twist’Air is part of a holistic vision of the sport, where performance and safety go hand in hand.

“It’s foolish to risk your life or health when solutions exist. The Horse Pilot airbag allows us to live our passion with complete peace of mind.”
