The cavesson should be able to be lifted 1-2 cm from the bridge of the nose. It should not be too tight. It lies on the nose bridge “corners” and should be tightened so as to allow a finger to be inserted between the cheek and the cavesson. Only once a horse has full range of motion in their jaw will they achieve ultimate relaxation. Tweet Is a Cavesson Right for You? When we put horses on a circle on the halter, we tend to see too much of a bend to the inside. When we look for a bending horse, what do we usually look for? We can feel the bend, we can see their eye, and we can see their jaw turn. Goals of lunging: Gymnastics and exercising. The horse is prepared for riding in many different ways and exercises are used to encourage it to correct its own crookedness. I was going to get the metal-free one from QVC - http://qcvsaddlery.com/en/cavessons/21-lunging-cavesson-with-leather-nosepiece-111.html

A traditional leather lunging cavesson is made from supple leather with a noseband of all leather or metal wrapped in soft material. The cavesson’s noseband typically has three rings, one in the middle/top of the nose, and one on each side. During groundwork, the lunge line is typically attached to the middle or top ring. How it works – Similar to a chambon, it works on your horse’s poll and mouth to encourage him to lengthen his topline. Use the lunge whip to keep the horse out by pointing it at his shoulder. If it’s a young horse you are teaching to lunge, ask someone to stand by their outside shoulder to guide them and keep them out on the circle in walk. don’t always fit the side reins in the same position. Altering their height during a session, as well as from session to session, allows you to change your horse’s frame and, therefore, his way of going. Experiment to see what happens when they’re lower or higher Sometimes, changing the rein can cause them to react because you disappear into their blind spot briefly,” Brendan says. “When I change the rein from left to right, I take up the outside line and place myself so that I’m walking behind the horse on the circle. I stay slightly to the inside so the horse can still see me. Keeping at a safe distance, I ask the horse to come across the middle of the circle and move across my path. I would then move from the left to the right-hand side of the horse and allow a bit of line on what was the inside rein as I encourage the horse to turn right.”According to the Duke of Newcastle, the horse will be towards the bit in a better way and will respond to all the demands of the rider’s hand if it has been educated on the cavesson in the first place.

sizing is important – it should fit his head snugly to prevent it from moving around his nose when you exert pressure on the line. The downside of any training aid that only attaches to your horse’s forehand is that it doesn’t harness his hindquarters, so it may not be the most suitable tool if he needs to be encouraged to engage his hindleg. The cavesson is easy to integrate into a bridle with a bit. When making the transition from cavesson to a bit, the horse will react lightly and attentively to the effect of the bit and will be easier in the hand. With the cavesson, mistakes that are made by previous riders using a bit can be easily corrected. Instead of improving our skills, we might look for the easier ‘solution’ and start using a cavesson without an iron chain.Auxiliary reins: Standard are side reins or Lauffer reins . Running side reins are also often used. Basic shapes – apply some of the floorplans that you would use when riding, including circles, starting at 20 metres and scaling down to 10 As you move farther away on the circle, the cavesson allows you to still be able to play with balance. Your horse now has a free-flowing line from their poll all the way through to their hind legs, giving you a more precise ability for communication. The cavesson also allows you to see the position of your horse’s natural head carriage. It doesn’t create head height but shows where your horse’s natural head height is. Chambons mainly rely on poll pressure, but also work on your horse’s mouth. The headpiece sits over the top of the bridle and attaches via two small straps that prevent it from slipping during exercise. We can also look at this from a more European perspective. The halter places pressure underneath the jaw. This causes your horse to actually lose its balance, causing him to move his head outwards. You now have a crooked horse with all of his weight on the inside shoulder. The inside shoulder leaning in makes his head turn away, cutting off your communication. Using a halter on the lunging circle is not good for functioning or for effective communication.
