With this neck ring you get the finest connection to your sensitive horsebecause it meets the highest requirements in order to gentle communicate with your horse. The Show and Grand Prix rider Alizée Froment has developed the Equizügel® “Mistral” together with us, which is soft to the horse’s neck hugs the horse’s neck and adjustable in size is. It is made of Biothane (16 or 13 mm wide) and has a special fabric padding made of breathable Airmesh backingthat protects sensitive horses from moisture and chafing.
Your Equizügel® Mistral 💎 Unique 💎 is lovingly and carefully made for you in our manufactory – you determine the color and size and choose the fabric for your padding according to your style. Every detail is customized according to your wishes – for a truly unique piece that is as unique as you and your horse.
The classic Taomero® has a moving halter ring – this means that the ring can turn slightly with the horse’s movement. This ensures a particularly smooth fit and prevents the halter from slipping into the eye – especially when moving or pulling on the lunge line.
In the current season of “Die Pferdeprofis”, Jenny and Peer use a special version with a firmly sewn halter ring. Why? In some training situations – especially with very fine ground work – it is important that even the smallest signals reach the horse with pinpoint accuracy.
We now have a supplementary chin strap with a fixed halter ring for this purpose. This can be easily replaced if you have a Taomero® with an adjustable chin strap – or selected directly in the configurator.
You decide whether you prefer agile and comfortable – or targeted and direct.
The correct length of your Equizügel® depends largely on how you want to use it. Thanks to its adjustable length of approx. 65 cm, you can adapt it flexibly – depending on the horse, training goal and application.
💡 As a second rein when riding with a normal bridle
If you use the Equizügel® in addition to the normal reins, it should be long enough. The aim is that you can hold your rein hands in the usual position without the Equizügel® pulling you forward. Important: There should still be a loose loop hanging behind your rein hand so that you can “give way” from time to time.
In this version, the horse is supported in its upright position by fine impulses in the chest area – ideal for horses that like to lie on the reins or struggle with their balance. At the same time, Equizügel® helps you as a rider to work on riding independently of the reins: Your hands remain calm, your seat becomes more active and you begin to work more consciously with your weight and thighs.
🐎 As a neck ring or for bitless free work
If you want to use the Equizügel® as a neck ring – for free work or riding without a headstall, for example – it should be set slightly shorter. This prevents it from hanging too low or dragging on the ground when the horse’s head is lowered. A shorter length also makes it easier to follow up.
📏 Tip for determining the length:
If you are unsure, you can simply use a lead rope or a measuring tape to try out the ideal length on your horse before you order. Hold it the way you want to use the Equizügel® later and then measure the length you need.
Dr. Vivian Gabor: “Horses communicate via body language such as facial expressions, gestures and muscle tension. If we pay attention to our own body tension and consciously create closeness and distance, we communicate in a horse-friendly way. With exercises that use body language to give and take space, we create trust and security. The conscious use of our body language enables clear and subtle communication, both from the ground and from the saddle. As a horse behavior trainer, fine, measured communication with the horse is important to me, supported by the Taomero, which can be used in a variety of ways in long rope work.” More information at www.IVK-center.de.
The double lunge can be buckled in different ways, depending on how you want to support your horse. Two common methods are direct buckling and remont buckling.
Here the lunge line is led from the hand of the lunger over the lunging belt to the bridle – the same on both sides. It is similar to the action of the rider’s hand and frames the horse well. As the aids only work backwards in the direction of the girth, precise positioning and bending is more difficult – especially for young horses.
On the outside, as with the direct lunge, but on the inside, the lunge line is first passed through the bit ring and then to the girth. This means that the aid acts more directly and laterally on the horse’s mouth, making it easier to position and bend – especially for inexperienced horses. The effect is finer and reaches the horse without any detours.
👉 Please lead the outer lead over the back to ensure a steady outer rein.
For double lunge training, you need a bridle, a well-fitting lungeing girth and a suitable double lunge.
The bridle should be stable and fit well – for example a cavesson, but a snaffle, with or without a bit, is also possible.
The lunging girth should fit securely and leave the spine free. A ring over the withers allows the outer lunge line to slide freely.
The double lunge should be light and easy to grip. The front 2 to 2.5 meters should ideally be made of rope – this slides particularly well through the rings of the girth.
Biothane is ideal: stable, light, water-repellent – perfect even when in contact with the ground.
Which length fits?
12, 14 or 16 meters – depending on the size of your horse.
Working on the double lunge is another very effective way of training your horse from the ground. For example, you can prepare your horse for riding, work on bending and position, prepare for driving. But above all, this training offers wonderful variety with a wide range of exercise options.
The two lunges, attached to the bit or sidepull rings, simulate the reins. You can therefore support the ground work wonderfully with fine rein aids, bend and position your horse on the lunge line and offer him the stretching position again and again.
Note: As the long lines have a slight or even very large leverage effect due to the line guide – depending on how they are buckled – your aids will be amplified. Added to this is the weight of the lunge line – the heavier it is, the more swinging. So work carefully and finely and don’t underestimate your strength.
Riding beginners in particular benefit from the Equizügeln®, as the hands have a smaller radius of action, which inevitably leads to the rider consciously creating body tension in the back and thus significantly improving their sitting position. The interaction between seat and action is promoted by the self-learning effect. Riding independent of the reins is trained.
Riders who are unsure or tend to fall forward also benefit from riding with the Equizügel®. By stabilizing the rein hand, the rider can lean a little further back into the reins without disturbing the horse’s mouth. In this way, the rider can better find his center of gravity on the ischial tuberosities.
Riding with Equizügel® as a neck ring, i.e. without a headstall, is the dream of many horse people. It shows the ultimate trust between you and your horse, a sense of achievement that is great fun and boosts the self-confidence of both of you.
The path to riding without a connection to the horse’s head is often not entirely safe and should be worked on step by step . To begin with, you should always practise in a closed riding arena! Initially use the Equizügel® in addition to your normal bridle. Read the text “How to hold the Equizügel®”. Practice a few times in the arena until you feel confident and can slowly start to let the normal reins slip a few centimeters out of your hand. In this way, you and your horse can slowly and gradually get used to communicating with your weight and leg, independent of the reins. In this way, you can gradually let the reins go longer and longer or, if necessary, pick them up again. Until you are only riding your horse with the Equizügel®, your weight and your leg – a great feeling!
I went for a super nice Christmas ride yesterday in 8 degrees and rain.
I actually only use the Equizaum for lunging. I have to say, I just love it – and so does my Icelandic horse! Thank you for this great innovative bridle, Equimero!
We love our beautiful Equizaum and it is almost our daily companion. The pony loves it and bitless, alone in the field is finally no longer a problem. In all gaits. We are simply happy! Thank you very much and Merry Christmas to you Celly and Kasan
Hello dear Equimero team.
Many thanks for the great cavesson. Great that it went so quickly.
Finally one that fits my horse properly and doesn’t slip. Best regards Kerstin and Fred
