I have just bought one to lunge my 5 year old WB, he really needs to build up top line and his quarters.

Who has used one, whats your thoughts.

I was thinking i would use it 2 times a week for 20 mins..? Hopefully then i will see an improvement over next few months.

Do you canter them in it..?
 
I have recently been trying one on loan from my equine physio.
She prefers them to pessoas and have used one so do I.
Yes you can use them in canter.
 
i tried him in a passoa ad even though it was loose he seemed to curl up in it, he is very sensitive int he mouth and i thought it looked like it jabbed him and maybe he was trying to aviod that so i never used it again and bought this instead.
 
Hilary at Equi Ami (can be found on facebook or emailed through the site) is really helpful and can answer any questions too :)

I have just bought mine and will lunge in it once or twice a week for 20 mins. Looking forward to using it though can't say I would canter but that is just personal preference! I liked the sound of them most over other 'gadgets' available.
 
Posted to soon sorry as with all of this type of gadget you have to be careful that they don't put the horse on the forehand in trot however in your type of horse this will probally not be too much of an issue they are most effective in the canter but of course that may take time to develop them to that stage .
The pessoa was developed for cantering and the training advice that came with the earliest ones advised to limit its use in trot and on the lower settings as much as possible .
 
thanks i tried it last night and in canter too, just had it on loose though to allow him time to get used to it, he offered to work down and round in canter in it so that was positive, the trot he had a higher head carriage, but hopefully with time that will change.
