What A Pessoa Training System Is

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.

When one would want to train his horse, what he will do is that he will let his horse undergo a lunging session to build his leg muscles. The first thing to do would be to put on the headstall followed by his pad and a surcingle. After that, try to put on some boots for the horse or try wrapping the legs with some cloth.

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.

Once that is already done, take the neck extender and put it around the rear area of the steed and attach it to both of his sides. Now take note that this thing to be put somewhere near the two hind legs of the animal or otherwise known as the hocks. This would control the steed and discourage him from making wild movements.

After finishing these steps, then one can now bring his steed to the lunging place in order to start the official training. Now in order to start, the trainer has to first let the horse move forward at its fastest pace. When the horse starts out, the trainer has to make sure that it starts slowly by moving around in a circle.

When it is already rather used to the strain, then the trainer may now increase the difficulty and let it go in further directions. Now in order for it to be able to maintain proper posture, the neck extender and the chambon will be able to keep the entire body straight during the process. That way, it will get used to having that kind of posture while pulling a carriage.

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.
