• Why use a Pessoa lunging system?

• A supple back
• Looser paces due to improved suppleness
• Develops topline muscle
• Improves connection from hindquarters to bridle
• Better engagement of the hindquarters
• Improves the horse’s balance
• Improving the back muscles can also help to improve horses who are tense or hollow, encouraging relaxation and the lowering and stretching of the horse’s neck and topline.

How to fit a Pessoa

1. Put the lunging roller on your horse and place the hindquarters tensioner over your horse’s back.
2. Run the two lines from the tensioner along either side of your horse and through the rings on the roller positioned halfway up their body.
3. Now clip the lines to the bit rings. While you’re fitting, clip both attachments onto your horse’s bit. When you’re ready to start lunging, move one clip from each side onto the roller.
4. Attach the V-shaped piece of rope to the top of the roller.
5. The sheepskin-covered piece sits around your horse’s hindquarters. This rear piece needs to sit just behind their stifle. It can be easily adjusted on either side to fit.
6. When attaching the front ropes, check they are of equal lengths. To do this, undo the clip that doesn’t have a pulley and stand in front of your horse holding the ropes.
