The Skinny On The Pessoa System

By Cornelia White


For those who do not know, a pessoa training system is a program that will enable horses to be able to gain the muscles that they need in order to carry carriages. In order for the horses to be able to gain strength, they would also need to work out like humans. This system is something like a workout specifically designed for horses.

Now to give people an overview on how this system works, it is best to know about some of the equipment that is being used here. First, there are the ropes that will be pulled by a pulley which is attached to what is known as lunge lines. These lunge lines are adjustable and one can adjust the difficulty level any time.

Of course there are steps to take in order to put these devices on the horse so that it will be ready for the training. Now to start, one has to first attach three things to the steed namely the headstall, the pad, and the surcingle. When that is done, one may or may not put horse boots or leg wrappings.

After that, get the chambon and place it on the surcingle. Now for those who do not know what a chambon is, it is a strap that can either be put tight or loose. However, do not make it too tight or too loose as both will not be beneficial to the horse.

After that, take the rubber neck extender and start attaching it somewhere to the rear of the animal and place it on both sides. The neck extender is to be placed near the hocks, which is the part of the horse that is located somewhere near his two hind legs. Doing this will allow it to get used to moving in low and long strides instead of high ones.

When all of those things are already done, then one has to now take it to the training area to begin its workout. The thing to do here would be to start moving around in a circle first just in case this would be the first time it is experiencing this type of training. It should be pushed to go forward slowly.

As the horse gradually gets stronger and stronger, the trainer may increase the strain if he feels like it. Now what makes this system interesting is that it can help that the steed still have a proper posture. The two parts that will be able to help the horse with this would be the neck extender and the chambon as these are the parts that are attached near the neck to the feet area.

So for those who do not know, this is how the pessoa system training program for horses work. This is actually a specific training program that has been tailor made for those horses that are meant to pull the carriages. It will give them enough strength that will allow them to take the hard work of pulling the carriage.
