which cheap version of pessoa to buy?

[madhector]

Im so confused there seem to be so many, all i know is i want to get one with pulleys, but cant seem to tell which ones do and which dont, if someone could recommend one that they have bought I would be very grateful, thanks

I have an "Equibalancer" off eBay, it was about £20 ish. The ropes are thinner and I *think* the adjustments are different to the original Pessoa, but it has all the pulleys and things, and the sheepskin bit etc. I just looked for the cheapest one that had pulleys, rope (not webbing straps as some of the really really cheap ones have) and the sheepskin bit included, and this one looked the cheapest.

saw that one, looked the best to me too, but ropes did look very thin

 

[madhector]

just bought one

thanks

The ropes are thin, but they have stood up well so far. TBH I can't see it would make much difference. Plus, surely if your horse gets tangled/ caught in something with it on, you want it to break? Plus point!

 

[madhector]

very good point

Got mine from the Holland based site and it was about £30 inc UPS delivery.

I bought a pessoa off ebay for about £40, but I think as long as they do the same thing, it shouldn't matter which make it is.

You don't want to buy one, you want to MAKE one! lol. I made mine with a bit of rope and some old lead rope clips and an old girth sleeve..........viola!
