Pessoa Training Aid

[derricks]

HI

Do any of you guys out there use one of these ?

My saddle fitter has said that I should start to use one on my horse to help build up the hollows either side of her withers and develop the correct topline

So where is the cheapest place to buy one, very expensive !!! Are the other makes just as good ??? or should I go for a Pessoa ???

Thanks

Go search posts, Druid put on a very detailed how to make one post (then can you pm it to me when you find it!!!!!!!!

)

Will cost you about £5 if my memory serves me right (very unreliable)

some of the cheap copies off ebay are every bit as good as a pessoa, I paid about £30 for mine but think vicijp paid about £20 the other week. As for making one it is easy but to be honest for £20 is not worth the hassle.

I made my pessoa think it cost me a bit more than £5 though, TBH probably as well off with the £30

I am a massive pessoa convert, it has really helped. My horse is pessoad twice a week and it has helped his way of going no end, he has also changed shape and is muscling up really well in all the right places.

All my young horse get lunged in a pessoa at least twice a week, it is great I love it I am a convert!!! It has helped me no end in so many ways. The horses all go very well in it, its easy to use and adjust and like I said I LOVE IT!!!!!!

Eeekkk-have just bid on E-bay for Equibalancer (imitation Pessoa) - thanks for pointing me in right direction. (could not get onto page you recommended - obviously too many other bods buying!)

Look on ebay for the John Whitaker version. It's colour coded and you get a really nice matching roller included.
