SERVING THE RIGHT PURPOSE
Our dedication to horses has inspired us to design premium training equipment aligned with biomechanical principles, emphasizing comfort and effectiveness.
THE WELFARE OF HORSES
We hope that our efforts in creating the EquiBalance® System will enable a growing number of riders and horses to experience the balance and harmony that our method offers. The purpose of EquiBalance® is to prevent discomfort, confusion, or the potential development of injury in horses that often result from the improper use or inefficiency of other equipment.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES
As every horse has unique skills, needs, and limitations that must be well understood and respected, we believe that the greatest effort in training should first be placed on the rider. The foundation of true partnership opens only to those who practice mindfulness, patience, and the ability to recognize the horse’s responses.
Excellence in training is found in those who seek every opportunity to reward the horse and who are creative in choosing the correct approach when guidance is needed. The horse can remain engaged in the work only with riders who have a clear understanding of the horse’s physical and mental abilities at any given time, the appropriate level of the given exercise, and the correct fit and use of equipment.
“The training of the horse begins with the training of the rider.”
“The rider’s role is to support the horse in finding success in all circumstances.”
Relaxation during training
- is fundamental -
"Allowing the horse to stretch the neck and topline is essential for relaxation and, ultimately, for improving collection."
-
Attaching the lunge line to the cavesson rather than the bit preserves the undisturbed function of the EquiBalance® Training Rein, encouraging the horse to confidently fill the frame.
-
Providing perfectly balanced contact through the reins is necessary for maintaining light connection on the bit, and for promoting straightness.
-
Ensuring unrestricted lateral and forward–down flexion of the neck and topline is essential for relaxation, enhancing flexibility and range of motion, and supporting postural progression.
The EquiBalance® Training Rein is precisely aligned with the horse’s biomechanical needs, enabling sufficient freedom of movement throughout the entire body, promoting relaxation and improved collection.
IS IT RIGHT FOR YOU OR YOUR HORSE?
The EquiBalance® System is great option for:
✔ Novice riders requiring additional support
✔ Riders learning to stretch the horse forward–down
✔ Riders re-schooling horses
✔ Riders starting young horses
✔ Horses that lack confidence in taking contact on the bit
✔ Horses that have learned to resist contact
✔ Horses with a weak topline or existing back issues
✔ Horses that show difficulty stretching forward–down
✔ Horses that require postural development
IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR...
1. Improved Balance:
This system prevents the horse from leaning into the reins, avoiding the connection on the bit, or raising its head too high, all of which could result in hollowing the horse's back. The EquiBalance® Training Rein provides a flexible frame for the horse, encouraging it to stretch forward-down and to find its own balance.
2. Releasing Tension:
The EquiBalance® Training Rein can help gradually release tension in horses prone to resistance, allowing them to move more freely and to relax both mentally and physically.
3. Enhanced Responsiveness:
The EquiBalance® Training Rein's functionality is perfectly aligned with the horse's movement. This means that the system always accurately transmits the aids to the horse—in the right Time, Impulse, and Position—enabling them to understand lighter cues, which will lead to improved responsiveness in the horses.
4. Clear Connection:
It ensures a consistent, comfortable, and perfectly even connection on the bit, which can help refine the horse's understanding of the rider's rein aids. By establishing ideal contact, the horse gains the confidence to fill the frame, which facilitates engagement of the hindquarters and leads to improved self-carriage.
5. Suppleness:
By encouraging the horse to seek its own balance and carry itself more effectively, the EquiBalance® Training Rein can greatly contribute to the development of a more supple horse. This can result in more comfortable and enjoyable riding experiences for both horse and rider.
6. Harmonious Performance:
Once the horse develops a clear understanding of the rein aids, contact on the bit, flexibility, and self-carriage have been established over time, the consistent use of the training rein shall be reduced to lunging sessions to maintain the horse's ideal performance as a preparation for the work under saddle.
