Take a look to discover these helpful tools, add them to your tack room, and begin practising today!
During horseback riding
Riding without a saddle is a delightful experience to share with your horse. To add extra comfort for both you and your horse, you can use the
QHP Bareback Pad Super Soft. As the name suggests, this bareback pad is incredibly gentle on you and your horse. Additionally, the bareback pad provides a grip to prevent slipping. The added convenience of a handle at the front allows you to regain balance if needed. Riding with a bareback pad is fun and contributes to an independent seat! What more could you ask for?
Elevate bareback riding with the
QHP Rope Halter Combo Liberty. This rope halter can be used for both bitless riding and natural horsemanship, taking your experience to new heights. This vibrant set consists of a halter, detachable reins, and a lead rope – everything you need to start strong!
Natural horsemanship
Establishing good leadership is fundamental to fostering a stable relationship with your horse. You can develop this skill through a series of exercises known as groundwork, which can be conducted from the ground up. Groundwork can significantly benefit your daily interactions with your horse by promoting mutual understanding and facilitating tasks such as standing still or walking backwards. Dedicating time to this activity is worth it. You will benefit from it, and your horse will also enjoy it! To make the experience more accessible, it's recommended to use a
Groundwork rope QHP, which will allow you to signal commands from a farther distance.
Lunging
You've probably already included lunging your horse in your training schedule. That's a good thing! By doing so, you're providing your horse with exercise and training them to respond to verbal commands.
A valuable item for lunging is the
cavesson. This multifunctional bridle can be used for lunging, groundwork, and riding. With the ring on the noseband, you can train your horse effectively without disturbing its mouth. This way, you avoid the risk of pulling the bit through the mouth. Therefore, the
QHP soft leather cavesson is highly suitable for lunging your horse.
