Pessoa training aid?

Ok, so think this might be benefical to my new youngster.

So do you think theses are worth the money, and where is the best place to buy them? Are the 'fake' ones the same?

Thanks.

I think they are worth every penny if used correctly, I brought a different make first as it was slightly cheeper then had to take it back the next day as was useles.

Recently and almost against better judgement invested in "Top Flyght Topline Activator". A lot cheaper than pessoa, but essentially the same - no pulleys, just nylon straps running through rings.
Am glad I got it, saw the difference as soon as I sussed out how to use it properly and 4yo didn't object, worry etc. She'll use it weekly now conditions allowing and my next youngster will probably use it too.
If nothing else the patience they have to learn while you sort it and the acceptance of things dangling and wobbling about is a good education for a youngster!

Do you have a pair of draw reins?
If so, use like this, will save you a lot of money and prob give your horse a better workout-
Pass the middle of the draw reins across the back, just behind the wither. Each end then threads down and behind the elbow then up to clip onto the bit.

Trust me, it may look a little odd but it really gets the horse to stretch down and use its back.
