Latest endorsement Sept '08
15th July 2008
Liz from Ireland emailed us with this:

Hi just thought I would e-mail you to say thanks. Received my EquiAmi yesterday and watched the DVD. I have a four year old Dales Pony Jack. It was so easy to put it together. I am not a lunging person at all, because of side reins etc and the pressure I feel horses are put under, even for a short time. So when I saw EquiAmi advertised and saw how it worked, it made sense to me, and it seems, to Jack.

I couldn't believe how easily he took to it, ears forward, didn't even have to lift my schooling stick, off he went. Used it for about 5 minutes on each side after I had warmed him up and he went great, lovely shape.

I also bought the (riding) training aid and am looking forward to using it. Once again thanks. Liz

Sharon from Merseyside bought The EquiAmi lungeing aid after reading about it on the
British Dressage Members' Forum; this is what she said:

I just wanted to say thank you for sending the EquiAmi I received it very promptly. The reason I am emailing is because I have been very worried about using the EquiAmi on my youngster as I explained before he is usually aggressive rearing, turning in and trying to kick me on the lunge. I AM SO AMAZED I plucked up the courage this morning and put the EquAmi on him with being 5 year old I WAS SO AMAZED he was not bothered at all with the EquAmi around the back of his quarters. I then proceeded to walk around the yard to make sure he was happy, he was fine so I took him in the indoor and to my amazement he set off in trot on the left for a good 5 min, I brought him back to walk all fine. I then sent him away on the right with some lovely steps he does have amazing movement and he seemed to take to the EquiAmi straight away. By accident he popped into canter his back lovely, relaxed and no resistance one bit. We finished after about 10 minutes as I was pleased with him thankyou so much I still cannot believe as for the last six months it has been utter stress to lunge him and he was not happy with the lunge work. I will let you know our progress in the next few months and the improvement . Once again thankyou.

Endorsement from USA
26th June 2008
Angela Guy from Houston, Texas had her EquiAmi lungeing aid to use on an ex-racehorse some months ago. This is what she wrote:

“My new horse was very upside down in his muscling, with huge underside neck and withered muscles from always going around with his head and neck up like a giraffe on crack! :-) I thought I would share my thoughts on your great product! Firstly, it is so easy to use! Secondly, I am pleased with the quality construction, without the unnecessary hardware! I use to have one of the other more expensive American lunging "rigs", and promptly E-bayed it after using the EquiAmi just a few times!

As per instructions, I only lunge General in his EquiAmi 2 - 3 times a week for no more than twenty minutes at a time. I'll send more photos as her progresses! The EquiAmi has been a great help in General's proper training, and I will continue to use it! Thanks”!!!

Extra large now in stock
23rd May 2008
We now have extra large sizes available on the lungeing aids and Combis. These fit horses up to about 18.2 hands or very wide horses.

Endorsement from Barry Adams
27th April 2008
Equine physiotherapist Barry Adams came to our premises for a demonstration and bought a Combi to use as part of his work in the treatment and ongoing care of competition horses. Barry's clients include top international dressage riders as well as a wide range of riders from all disciplines. Barry has given us the following endorsement:

"I treat Grand Prix horses and I have found the EquiAmi lungeing aid to be excellent in improving the muscle structure all round, in particular where muscle wastage has occured due to a lay off, or indeed injury". Barry also said he would be happy to to talk to anyone about the training aids if they liked and he can be contacted on bpaequine@yahoo.co.uk .

Barry is based at Bishop's Castle in South Shropshire and travels extensively.

Endorsement from Sue Brennan
27th April 2008
Sue Brennan, Accredited British Dressage Trainer based in the West midlands purchased a Combi in 2007 after seeing our products at a trade stand and then having a demonstration at her premises. She has recently given us this endorsement:

We have lunged various horses in the EquiAmi and found it beneficial in developing rhythm and balance which the horses have been able to re-produce when ridden. The horses have quickly offered a more correct outline after using the EquiAmi. The demo appointment was organised (withut too long a wait for an appointment) and you turned up promptly and everything was explained very clearly & thoroughly.

Many thanks,

Sue Brennan

Pony sizes &Miniature
17th March 2008
Hi everyone, you will be pleased to hear that the pony sized training aids are now available. We now offer the Combi and Riding aids in both Full and Pony sizes and the Lungeing aid comes in Full, Pony and Miniature sizes for those of you who show these small breeds and want to encourage them to move in a fabulous outline. We were asked to produce these to help tiny ponies move in a nice outline for showing. We will see how they go, but it should be interesting and fun.

Unfortunately we have to increase our prices for the first time in two years. This is unavoidable and due to the huge increase in the world price of brass (and all metals) as it is being bought up by industries in Asia and the Far East.

The pony sizes will fit approx 11 to 14 hands. A 14 hand pony that is chunky or has a big front may be better with a full sized one as the full sized ones now adjust from 13 hands up to 17.2 approx (these depend on the width of the pony or horse). The miniature size is for 28 inches up to about 11 hands.

Endorsement from Hartpury
10th January 2008

It was very exciting to receive an endorsement from Hartpury as the staff there are highly trained, knowledgeable and were a bit sceptical at first, but agreed to try a prototype for a while.

Kathryn Nankervis MSc CVPM, of Hartpury Equine Veterinary and Therapy Centre in Gloucestershire says:

“We have found the Equiami to be a very useful training aid, particularly for younger or less well educated horses where we are trying to encourage a lower head carriage.

It works well for horses which have ewe necks and/or an extended posture and we have had great results when using it in horses recovering from back surgery”.

Alyson, who purchased a combi at Your Horse Live emailed us in Jan 2008 with this:

Hi,

I would just like to say what a fantastic aid the equiami is.

I saw your stand at your horse live show and was so impressed with the talk and tv demo i bought the combi there and then.

A bit apprehesive when I got home, about where to start.

I have an ex-racehorse that is fairly new with us and he likes to get his head above the bit when you ask him to do anything he does not want to and not very supple or schooled.

I tried just the front piece first until he settled and that was good then introduced the rear piece and after a few bucks he worked like a different horse.

after using this over the next few weeks the improvement was remarkable and this showed up when out hacking so improved. My daughter rode him with the riding piece and was amazed at the diffence in him.

Then we had a new girl arrive on the yard with a horse that had been rehabiltated from Hartpury College and they had used the Equiami there on this horse, so she borrowed mine to keep up his training until xmas came and she had the combi as a present from her boyfriend.

Then a friend bought one and used it at the yard she was at and I think she had a few comments of that would never work, but carried on using it as she was pleased with the result and now some of the yard have asked if they can try it.

So all I can say is well done and thankyou for this wonderful piece of equipment.

Gillian purchased a lungeing aid on-line and has emailed us with this:-

Hi,
Great device! Loving it! Really simple to use and adjust.Taught my daughter how to use it last night ( shes 17) and her ID absolutely loves it! He is even doing collected walk/canter transitions! Really easy to adjust and they really cant lean on it, and the bum is right underneath them! Ive never got on with side reins etc, as they always seem too resticting, and you seem to have to continually adjust them - but this is super.

3 Wishes Granted to Lottie Prentice
17th December 2007

When Lottie Prentice, the British 3 Day Event rider from Syde Park near Cheltenham, was asked to try out the EquiAmi training aid on behalf of Horse magazine for a tried and tested report, she said "I really have three wishes; I want to improve my horses’ performance; save time working the horses and make life easier; if any new aid can fulfil these I will be amazed".

Well it happened that after several weeks using the EquiAmi lungeing aid her three wishes were granted, her horses were working better; there was improvement in their paces and outline. Lottie saved time as the aid was very easy to fit and each horse required less lungeing work as the EquiAmi lungeing aid gave them a good physical workout in a relatively short time. Life was easier giving more time for Lottie to ride out and teach. Lottie contacted EquiAmi and offered to endorse the product and help in any way she could.

Lottie said "this simple lunging device works as a training aid to enable the horse to work in the correct outline without being restricted. It is a time saving device that will work all the necessary muscles and it is definitely an aid that you can trust with whoever is lungeing the horse. You will know that your horse has worked properly and used himself fully. It is accompanied by a short DVD explaining simply how to fit the aid and once you have used it once it will become a must-have in every busy yard".

EquiAmi is proud and happy to support Lottie and her lovely horses and wish them every success
this season and beyond.
