Equi Ami vs Pessoa vs side reins

[jenz87]

What do people think about the Equi Ami vs the Pessoa? Ive heard the EA is better?
Or is it all the same as side reins these days?

What do you think?

much prefer Equi ami to pessoa as nothing to lean on. use the EA for my KS horse

Oooh thank you Kezimac!
Do you think there is a benefit from EA to just using side reins or side reins through the legs?

I've not used a EA but I love my Pessoa.

i prefer the EA as i have used lots of different types - it kind of connects the front to back of horse if that makes sense! - side reins dont do anything for hind legs and the Kalvalkade laura B doesnt either. the pessoa is good but fixed on the roller and they can lean - the equiami is a loop and doesnt jab them in the mouth either
I have had to do a load of lunging work with my horse due to her back and I reckon the equiami the best out the lot and i have tried most of them! -
