Abstract
A horse training aid comprises a stem running from the girth to a location under the head. A coupling rope is trained through a lateral coupler wheel at the outer end of the stem. The overall length of the aid from the girth to the mouth bits or bridle prevents excessive lifting of the horses head, but offers insignificant resistance to turning of the head as the coupling rope slides on the wheel. With the training aid the horse is encouraged to maintain the correct head position, and this allows optimum muscle development.
Claims21
A horse training aid comprising:
- a stem having an inner end arranged to be anchored to an element on a horse's body and to extend forwardly to a position under a horse's head or neck,
- a lateral coupler comprising an elongate member extending laterally across the stem at an outer end of the stem, and being arranged to engage at each end a horse's bridle or other element on the head, and
- a lateral coupler guide on the stem at the outer end of the stem, said guide allowing the lateral coupler to run laterally across the stem to allow turning of a horse's head while the aid restrains upward movement of the head to a limit imposed by combined longitudinal length of the stem and the coupler.
