Comfy Connections Leather Cavesson

• This cavesson can be used for leading, classical schooling, long lining, straightness training and even riding.
• During groundwork, the cues from the lead rope will be clearer.
• Your horse will learn to take the correct position by placing the upper jaw inward which places the mandible outwards. It is therefore ideal to make the horse suppler and stronger.
• You can work with long reins, or with in-hand reins.
• You spare the horse’s sensitive mouth. The mouth is many times more sensitive to pressure than the nose.
• The sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems will not be confused. It is less stressful for the horse.
• It is the ideal cavesson for everyone who chooses to train bitless.

How to put on a cavesson

Be careful that the nose band isn’t positioned on the soft part of the nose and the nostrils, otherwise you obstruct the breathing.

The nose band should be positioned just above the spot where the soft part starts. The nose band also shouldn’t sit against the cheekbone; that is too high.

The nose band should be secured in such way that the horse can move his mandible (otherwise the horse can’t take a proper lateral flexion and bending) and open his mouth. It shouldn’t be too loose so that the nose band moves too much over the nasal bone when asking flexion or bending.
