Is your horse heavy on the forehand or struggling with balance?
A balanced horse carries more of its weight with its hind legs, lifts through the back and moves evenly on both reins. A horse that stumbles, leans on the bit, feels heavy on the forehand or drifts to one side is often telling you it lacks the strength or body awareness to carry itself.
Balance improvement products range from groundwork aids to elastic resistance systems worn during lunging, long-lining or riding. When you compare them, look at whether the aid works with the whole horse or one area only, whether it ties the head or neck to a fixed point, how it is fitted, and how gradually it should be introduced.
Pair any aid with correct riding and a conditioning plan, and build up session length slowly as your horse gets stronger.
