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 this program would be making use of many mechanisms but the main ones would be the ropes, the pulleys and of course the lunge lines. When one puts the steed on the lunge line, the steed will be lifting some weights like people in a gym. Now if the trainer would feel like, he may add weight or lessen it.

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.

The chambon will then be attached to the surcingle in order to hold the horse down. While attaching the chambon, one has to be sure that it is not attached too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, the horse will be uncomfortable but if it is too loose, he may be able to shake the chambon off immediately.

The next thing to do would be to grab the rubber neck extender and try to attach it to the rear part of the animal and attach it to the right and left side. Now take note that this part is to be put in the part near the two back legs of the horse or namely the hocks. If one would do this, he will encourage the horse to move in long and low movements.

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.

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 would want to train horses to pull carriages, the pessoa system would be a really good program. This training program was developed just for the horses that are actually to be used for pulling these things. This training is used to give them a lot of leg and body power in order to pull carriages with people in them.
