Guide to Training Aids with The Saddlery Shop; part 6 of 6

In our blog series The Saddlery Shop have been taking a look at the range of training aids available for riding and lunging our horses. There are many products available that may be used to aid the equine training process and whilst no training aid can replace correct riding it can offer a useful tool to be used in certain instances. In this final edition of the six part blog blog series we are reviewing the final training aid- The Pessoa, but if you have missed out on early editions in the series just visit the website to learn more about the Market Harborough, the De Gogue,the Chambon, Draw Reins and the Harbridge! Training Aid 6: The Pessoa The Pessoa aims to help strengthen the horse’s back, stretch the top line and gently encourage the horse to work correctly. The system utilises the holistic philosophies of the great Nelson Pessoa, and importantly, does not create a rigidly fixed contact between the horse's mouth and girth. Designed to be used while lunging, the Pessoa employs a sympathetic system of ropes and pulleys that can be formatted differently by the handler to give different levels of adjustment. The Saddlery Shop stocks the Genuine Pessoa for £104.99, as well as the Shires Lunging Aid, developed in the style of a Pessoa, and costing a budget-friendly £39.99.
