well if any of you seen my previous post about my boy having a lameness work up im waiting for his physio to be done and he has to have six weeks of lunging in a pessoa but he has to still be ridden to. if he doesnt improve in six weeks than he he going in for x-rays to check for kissing spine and pelvis problems. well im after a training aid i can ride him in that has the same use as a pessoa getting him to work long a low and stretch over his back and come through from behind, it would seem silly to lunge him in the pessoa and then undo all that by riding him and him just get sore again. any recomendations.
oh and is this just as good as a pessoa,

i can borrow a proper one but dont like to borrow just incase i break it but i cant really afford a proper pessoa.
 
i'd use a fairly loose bungee rein...

I've got a 'Dress circle' pessoa type from ebay, quite good quality for the price, cost about £25 with P&P, as for the training aid... i'm pretty sure my instrcutor uses a degogue on a low setting to encourage long and low, but i could be completely wrong!
