Yes. Really like them as they suggest as opposed to pulling the horse in. Use one when lunging alot, and just reminds my horse where to carry himself but doesnt give them anything to lean on

Just because I dont like his head being 'put' in position, like Ive stopped using draw reins aswell and any other gadget for that matter, they all made him tense and put him in a fauls out line. Its been bloody hard work getting Arch to accept the bit and work properly, but its been worth it.
Not to say, I disagree with any training aid, if it works for the horse and rider then go for it. All horses are different. If your not sure weather to ride in Bungie, just try it and see what you think. x

I would agree wholeheartedly with everything said here - I have done the same - used to ride in either bungee or draw reins, and yes, they both had a significant effect but it is an unnatural way of obtaining results - you cannot escape this! I am not against training aids either, but Moonwalker is right in saying that they can give a false outline, hence why I no longer use any of them and am trying to get Elz to work naturally!

I've used a Bungie, it is cheaper than most training aids and you can actually make one yourself. If i had to use something though, i would use a harbridge. You don't have all the reins like you do with draw reins and it doesn't look too bad if you ride on the road in it.
