Lungeing Aid
|
 |
The EquiAmi lungeing training
aid can be fitted to a horse
tacked up in a snaffle bridle
and lungeing roller in just a
few minutes. It is designed to
be used for 20 minutes twice
a week. The pack is
accompanied by a short DVD
which shows how to fit and
use the aid alongwith clear
printed instructions. |

Correct use of the EquiAmi training aid
encourages the horse to work in a soft,
round outline, to work with engagement
of the hindquarters, and to carry himself.
It works by suggestion and reward, and
by connecting the whole horse.
The unique, patented design of EquiAmi
training aids place the horse inside a
self-centering loop. The positioning of the
loop of the lungeing training aid encourages
the horse to bring its hind legs underneath
its hindquarters, to lower its head and
shorten its frame.
As the horse adopts a more rounded outline,
it is immediately rewarded by the training aid
becoming looser. When the training aid is
working at its best it is applying absolutely no
pressure and the horse is working
in a relaxed manner.
As the loop is self-centering and is not fixed,
the horse is unable to lean on the aid so has
to learn to balance and carry itself.
Another advantage of the loop system is that
it is only necessary to make adjustments to
one side of the training aid as it is a loop and
self-centres so always remains equal provided
it is fitted correctly.

Whilst not designed for unbroken horses, it can be
used as part of a basic training routine, once a young
horse is comfortable with a rope or long rein around
the hindquarters. Teaching a horse to work through
his back from the start makes more sense than
making corrections or retraining at a later stage
though this is equally well achieved using the
EquiAmi lungeing aid. |

The EquiAmi lungeing aid provides a good workout for
fit horses when weather conditions or time constraints
restrict riding. It is also recommended by experts that
we work our horses from the floor once or twice a week
so that the important muscles that support the saddle
can work without pressure. This enables unrestricted
blood flow through these muscles to allow them to
'pump-up' and strengthen. This in turn supports the
saddle and rider more effectively and lifts the saddle
away from the spine when ridden. |

The lungeing aid comprises a leather chest piece and two
colour coded sections of the lungeing loop in a storage bag,
with printed instructions for fitting and use and a
complimentary DVD. The leather chest piece is cleverly
designed to work with any roller. It has a flat loop to slide
over a roller or alternatively this can be unclipped and the
chest piece can clip directly on to a roller that has a D ring
on the belly section.
