Pessoa

[JackDaniels1]

I've watched different people using a pessoa on their horse (with their horse working differently) and with it fitted differently.

I realise it's meant to encourage stretch long and low but how low is their head meant to be carried at? Do you canter with it on?

I got the john whittaker training aid as was just cheaper, came with amazing instructions built up work with it slowly as it is strenuous. Now i canter my boy in it on a specific setting and before/after go on a diff setting to encourage streching long and low rather than promoting engaging quarters... Has really helped my very unbalanced exracer learn to canter on the right leg and strengthened both sides of his body so more balanced when ridden

Google Gail Williams - Equine Physio. Really good video clip of how to fit and use it
