If you are looking to learn how to use your EquiBalance® Training Rein most effectively, it’s important to understand the function of each element. This knowledge will help you ensure your horse’s comfort, progression, and safety during training.


Key elements of the EquiBalance® Training Rein
Key elements of the EquiBalance® Training Rein

A. Principal Pulley


The principal pulley regulates the rein’s length ratio according to the direction of lateral bending, ensuring balanced and even contact with the bit.

B. Side Pulleys:


These pulleys maintain the correct angle and a safe length of the rein on each side. The rope rein, guided through this pulley system, allows the horse’s neck to move freely without creating undue pressure on the jaw or tongue.

C. Neck Piece & Regulator Elastic:


The position of the neck piece, along with the length of the adjustable breast strap, determines the size of the frame.


These elements should be adjusted in relation to your horse’s body conformation, physical condition, and training level.


▪️ Positioning the neck piece closer to the poll creates a wider, more open frame.

▪️ Moving it toward the withers results in a shorter frame.

The regulator elastic adds essential flexibility to the system.

D. Trigger Carabiner:


These durable, stainless steel carabiners allow for quick and effortless adjustments.

E. Safety Elastic: 


The safety elastics help maintain the secure positioning of the training rein. Their use is especially important for upholding safety protocols during lunging and free-training sessions.


Performance & Training Advantages

By mastering the use of the EquiBalance® Training Rein, you can significantly support improvements in your horse’s overall performance.

It helps encourage flexibility, mobility, and correct contact on the bit, while allowing your primary role to be simply assisting the horse in moving forward correctly.
