As title really, what are you views on gadgets, such as the pessoa, side reins, chambon, harbridge, draw reins etc?
I'm personally not keen on a lot of gadgets out there..
I currently lunge my mares in side reins (when I do lunge) and do own a pessoa, which i've used maybe a few times- as i'm undecided on it. One mare works well in it and my other tends to come behind the vertical- which she can do anyway- so i don't think its suited to her (It's not fitted tightly).
I'm having to lunge and free-school more than usual at the moment as I've hurt my back. I was thinking of trying the chambon as I like the idea it allows to head to 'come out'.. what are your thoughts?
Also thoughts on the harbridge for lunging and/or ridden work?
I've personally never used a ridden 'gadget' so would like to hear your opinions
