The Schneiders Lunging Aid is an indispensable training tool for both English and Western horses. Designed to assist in teaching horses how to collect and stretch through their back, this lunging aid encourages horses to give and release to pressure on their own. This approach helps in developing a horse's natural abilities without forcing them into a set position. Crafted from incredibly soft cotton, the lunging aid is gentle on the horse's body, preventing any discomfort or rubbing during training. Safety is a priority with this lunging aid, as it features an O-ring in the center to keep the straps securely together under the horse's legs. Additionally, it is equipped with swivel scissor snaps, making it easy to attach and remove, and is compatible with most English and Western bits. The lunging aid's length is adjustable, ranging from 133" to 170", allowing it to fit most horses comfortably while offering an adjustable amount of tension. With a 1 1/4" diameter back cotton rope and a 3/4" diameter rope, this lunging aid is designed to suit a variety of training needs. It is important to note that the bridle is not included. The lunging aid is offered in black, making it a stylish addition to your training gear. Crafted by Schneiders, a trusted name in equestrian equipment, this lunging aid is a valuable asset for anyone looking to enhance their horse's training and collection techniques.
