Chambon (Elasticated)2 Way. Available in 3 sizes
2 Way Chambon The chambon is used to encourage the horse to work in a longer, lower outline, using the muscles over the back, quarters and neck. It’s ideal for the early stages of a horse’s education or in retraining. It is effective for horses who go in a hollow outline, with their head up, back dropped and quarters trailing. By encouraging the longer, lower frame, the horse will learn to use his back muscles and engage his quarters. It must be introduced slowly and the horse must be encouraged forward into the contact to get the best results. The Elasticated cord clips to each bit ring and then passes upwards and through a loop on each side of the brow band. From here, the cords drop downwards to attach to a single strap (Via the carabiner clip provided) that passes between the horse’s forelegs and loops onto the girth. The chest strap is made of webbing and is adjustable (See Photo) Or option 2: Place over the top of the headpiece through the browband loops (optional, just extra security/slip prevention) thread the clips through the bit and clip onto the ring at the chest piece (See Photo)The chambon acts on the poll and, via the bit, on the corners of the mouth. When the horse raises his head higher than desired, the bit is raised in the mouth and poll pressure is applied. As soon as he lowers his head the pressure is removed. In effect, the horse works the chambon.Useful for: Developing suppleness of the back Encouraging a longer, lower frame Developing muscle over the back and loins - particularly good for strengthening those used for show jumping Strengthening the hindquarters Developing looseness in the paces through suppleness in the back Developing topline muscle Never put the Chambon on too tight, this will encourage your horse to over bend!
