Anyone used the bungee training aid?

Yes I use them at times .
I lunge in them and sometimes use them for riding .
They are good value and useful to have in the tack room.
 
I use them as part of a large range of lunge equipment and find them very useful. Its the only thing one will settle in having taken exception to everything else, she has less to fight with and more freedom so works sweetly.
 
Then can only lean if they are too tight they also don't really lean they fix which is not the same thing they should be loose with no pressure unless the horse raises its head.
In a perfect world no horse would need to be ridden in one but it has helped me with a couple of reschooling projects.
 
Agree with Goldenstar, the two i use it have sacroiliac issues and the bungee works best on them. They move forwards freely and i ensure they track up plus it doesn't have to fixed between the forelegs, it can go higher.
 
Thanks guys, it's for lunging as my boy just goes round with head in the air!lol! He hates side reins so was looking for something little softer just to help encourage him to work in some sort of outline :-)
 
I find them useful for my pony who can school nicely but he can also be an argumentative ******. he was out of work for a bit and came back in being argumentative, now i use it every now and again to get him to accept a contact and work into it.

It has its uses but shouldnt be used constantly.
 
I have one and used it a couple of times but my horse didn't seem to like it at the time. I'd quite like to try it again, but the toggle adjuster seems to have got stuck right at the end and I can't push the loop back through! I guess they aren't that expensive, its just annoying to have to buy another one. Unless anyone has any ideas of how to work it back through...

Get a fine screwdriver and work it through then pull on it.
