Using a training aid without restricting

A training aid helps the horse find a carriage. It must never force his head. The adjustment matters more than the model.

The basic rules

Start with it set long and shorten it gradually, over several sessions. Always warm the horse up without the training aid, and remove it for the cool-down. A horse that rears, freezes or hides behind the bit is too restricted.

On the lunge or ridden

The Chambon, the Pirelli and the de Gogue are mainly used on the lunge. The Thiedemann and the running martingale are used on a ridden horse. Long reins require experience.

Elastic or fixed

An elastic training aid (Pirelli, Canter Soft Rope) gives the horse a little give. A fixed model acts more directly and suits more experienced hands.

Frequently asked questions about training aids

Which training aid to start with?

An elastic training aid, on the lunge and set long, is often the easiest to use. Ask your instructor for advice on the first adjustment.

How long should the training aid be left on?

A few minutes at first, then a little longer if the horse accepts it well. Take breaks by unclipping it or letting it out.

Chambon or de Gogue?

The Chambon encourages the horse to lower his head and stretch his neck. The de Gogue works on the same principle, with a stronger action: it can also be used ridden, by experienced hands.
