The Riding Aid
The unique, patented design of EquiAmi training aids place the horse inside a self-centering loop. The positioning of the loop of the riding training aid encourages the horse 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.
