Why Riders Choose
®
EQUIBALANCE
Across different countries, disciplines, and training goals, riders found the EquiBalance® System beneficial for improving contact, flexibility, posture, self-carriage, healthy muscular development and the overall performance of their horses.
Riders find the EquiBalance® System an effective training aid for:
✔ Starting young horses
✔ Re-schooling horses
✔ Relaxing competition horses
✔ Supporting the posture of school horses
RELAXATION DURING TRAINING IS
FUNDAMENTAL
"Allowing the horse to stretch the neck and topline is essential for relaxation and, ultimately, for improving collection."
The EquiBalance® Training Rein ensures a comfortable, consistent and perfectly even connection, allowing the horse to find relaxation and confidence to fill the frame in collection.
TRAINING AID THAT SUPPORT
EQUINE BIOMECHANICS
Horse Training Equipment Inspired by
Equine Biomechanics
The EquiBalance® Training Rein and Cavesson were created for riders seeking a horse-centered lunging aid that prioritizes comfort, effectiveness and biomechanical function to support relaxation, flexibility, symmetrical muscular development and improved proprioception.
The EquiBalance® Training Rein not only maintains consistent and perfectly even contact on both sides of the bit, but also allows unrestricted lateral and forward-down flexion of the horse's neck.
As a result, the EquiBalance® System does not create unnecessary tension or force the horse into a fixed position.
WHAT
RIDERS SAY
The Cavesson offers a reliable point of contact for the lunge line:
-
to protect the horse's mouth from undesired pressure
-
to prevent the excessive rotation of the poll
-
to facilitate correct lateral and forward-down flexion
-
to promote precise transitions
-
to improve weight distribution and coordination
-
to provide greater control for safety and correction
It is recommended to attach the lunge line to the cavesson ring rather than the bit to preserve the horse’s comfort and the undisturbed function of the EquiBalance® Training Rein, both of which are essential for encouraging the horse to confidently fill the frame.
A GAME CHANGER
WHY LUNGING WITH A CAVESSON IS
1. PRINCIPAL PULLEY regulates the rope rein's length ratio based on the direction of flexion to maintain the balanced connection on the bit, while it ensures the unrestricted lateral movement of the horse's neck.
2. SIDE PULLEYS regulate the angle of the rope rein to maintain a comfortable and correct point of contact on the bit, while they ensure the unrestricted forward-down movement of the horse's neck.
3. REGULATOR ELASTIC provides the flexibility and the safe position of the rein system to adapt to the horse's dynamic movements.
4. NECK PIECE
The position of the neck piece and the length of the adjustable breast strap DETERMINE THE SIZE OF THE FRAME.
-
Moving the neck piece towards the poll creates a wider frame
-
Moving the neck piece towards the withers creates a shorter frame
A WIDER FRAME is recommended for those:
-
horses who have a tendency to go behind the vertical
-
horses who have difficulty stretching forward-down
-
horses who have just been started
A SHORTER FRAME is recommended for those:
-
horses who have a tendency to go against the bit
-
horses who have a tendency to raise their head too high
HOW TO DETERMINE THE CORRECT SIZE OF THE FRAME?
Should be set according:
-
to the horse's neck conformation
-
to the horse's physical condition
-
to the horse's training level
Most importantly the training rein should be set long enough to allow the horse to stretch forward-down to be able to relax the topline.
