Abstract: A garment is disclosed by which a person other than the wearer may firmly engage his hand with the garment. The garment is particularly useful for aiding handicapped persons in riding horses. During such use of the garment, an attendant's hand is engaged with the back side of the garment to support the rider. The snug hand engagement may be by way of a horizontal strap at the lower portion of the back side of the garment near the wearer's hip and lower back region, by way of a horizontal strap in the upper portion of the garment in the region of the wearer's shoulder blades, or by way of straps in both places. Also, vertical straps may be provided to effect handholds for gripping the garment. The garment has uses other than in handicapped horseback riding. For example, the garment is useful in providing a handhold for the rear person in tandem riding situations such as with motorcycles, bicycles, snowmobiles, sleds and the like.
