Would you pay £500 for a training aid?

I know Devoucoux tack is always pricey but IMO this takes the biscuit!

cripes and I thought the Pessoa one was pricey!

 

[dressagecrazy]

No WAY!!!!!

I don't go for Training aids at all really. But im really shocked at the price & not keen on the idea.

I could see that training aid being a great way of teaching a horse to lean on the hand though.

If the training aid was some dreamy and very good dressage trainer on tap I might consider it! Not for some bits of rope though........

 

[Kayfm]

omg this cost a fortune. Cant beat a good pair of hands and they are free !!

 

[kick_On]

OMG some folk do have too much dosh!!! -

 

[horseywelsh]

Wouldn't spend a penny on training aids, never mind £500, don't believe in quick fixes.

 

[MegaBeast]

Seriously?!? That's bonkers

 

[Kentisheventer]

Hmm... 16.6 lessons with my trainer, or that? I wonder....

 

[cavalo branco]

You could knock up a piece of elastic like that yourself for a fiver!! Hey, I'm on to a winner!!

 

[Drummer]

Not even if I was on an hourly salary of a million pounds!!

 

[Puppy]

Ummm, nope!

 

[SpottedCat]

Well it depends - if they had a money back guarantee that my dressage scores would always be in the 20s after a month of using it, then yep, I'd buy it

 

[SmartieBean]

i doubt it, i said i would never buy a pessoa becuase of the prices of them although but look who owns one now haha lol. I don't have £500 going spare though and if i did happen to have £500 that wouldn't be the first thing i thought of buying lol

If it works then it will soon be copied. How many people have 5 point breastplates now?!?

Just about to say the same Lec.
Wont be long till Jefferies, Cliff Barnsby and alike all bring something out similar.

You wait, cheap copies will be on ebay before long, just like the Pessoa.

 

[jules89]

well it aint sold on me!

 

[TarrSteps]

Well, what do you know! Everything old is new again. That's basically a "dumb jockey" and hardly a new idea - open any training book from the 1800s and there will likely be one on display.

Good luck to them.

Didn't spend that much on my horse and i wouldn't sell him a for a million pounds! Think they are taking more then just the biscuit...
