Pessoa Training Aid by Pessoa:

Pessoa Training Aid supports the idea that the horses back muscles need to be able to work freely, to gain that all desired impulsion and balance. Compare this with the typical schooling aids that attach to the girth forcing the head and neck into an outline often with more force than should be applied.

Because the pessoa training aid works with a sympathetic ropes and pulleys system when lunging, it aids and encourages the horse to work in the perfect shape and outline without force.

Developed by the legendary show jumper, Nelson Pessoa, the Pessoa Training Aid is considered by many to be an essential tool for the every day horseman.  Working in harmony with the horse: it persuades and suggests, helping the horse to find its optimum balance and rythm. 

Typical schooling aids often create a rigid contact with the horses mouth.  In contrast, the Pessoa Training Aid recognised that to work correctly a fluid contact is required to accomodate individual movements.  Ths is created by a series of sympathtic ropes and pulleys that are used while lunging to encourage the horse to work in the perfect shape.
 
When developing the Training Aid, Nelson Pessoa acknowledged that a horse's all important back muscles need to be free whilst working to achieve that all desired balance and impulsion.  The Pessoa Training Aid promotes this philosophy and therefore, supports the development of back muscles in all horses.   Ideally, work with the pessoa training aid should begin as part of the horses training when the horse is young. Regular use of the training aid as part of the horses training will help develop the free forward flowing paces that are required to succeed in all competitive spheres.  The Pessoa Traing Aid should be introduced into a work regime, starting in walk, then trot and finally when the horse is settled in canter. 

The Pessoa Training Aid works at its best when used regularly for short periods of time. The Pessoa Training Aid offers a range of settings.  The lower positions work the horse's back muscles in isolaton.  Once the horse is relaxed and working freely on the lower positions, higher positions can be introduced, which work the muscles of the back in conjunction with the muscles in the base of the neck. The system of ropes and pulleys used encourages the horse to take the weight off the forehand and work through his back, bringing his hind quarters underneath him and consequently finding balance and flexibility.
