NECK STRETCHER

A neck stretcher can be used for lunging and ridden/flat work.

It is a long elastic rope that runs from the poll, through the bit, and down between the horse’s front legs, or to the side rings on a girth or lunge roller/surcingle.

The toggle is used to easily adjust it longer/shorter for each individual horse

It is fairly simple and easy to use.  It is extremely effective, without using force thanks to the elastic.

If the horse raises its head and/or pushes its nose out, the neck stretcher puts downward pressure on the poll, with secondary pressure on the bit.

If the neck stretcher is attached between the legs there is less pressure on the mouth and more on the poll.

This should NOT be used for jumping as the horse is unable to stretch its neck out over the fence, or raise it for balance on landing
