Pessoa settings

[SilGathien]

So, I've been using my pessoa for quite a long time now, and have really felt some positive changes in my boy's way of going.

However, I lost the instructions (whoops), a while back and was wondering if anyone could tell me what the second setting for a pessoa is because I want to move him up a stage.

Thanks.

Instead of attaching the ends under the girth, attach them on the lowest setting of your roller. If that makes sense?

You just keep moving it up...

There is an article in Chiltern Rider which shows the 4 positions;

Point C(top) Dressage position recommended only for riders wish to obtain a high neck position for dressage
Point D high position. This position is similar to that of a horse when ridden. It helps develop the final muscles needed for the horse to be in perfect balance when cantering
Point E Middle position. This is an intermediate position, which helps the upper neck muscles to develop.
Point F Low position. The lines go through the pulleys attached to the bit, btwn the front legs & attach to the underside of the roller. This position is ideal to introduce the horse to the system & due to the tension on the spinal column it helps to bring the shoulders up.

Hope this helps
