The Endo-aids are the most amazingly effective tool I have ever seen. Absolutely every horse, every breed, every age, every discipline of horse in the clinic welcomed it eagerly... Every solution to every problem became simple even for a novice to do. What I saw JP accomplish in 3 days with a beginner rider and her 30 year old Appaloosa was incredible.

Lunging Spirals & Rein Angles | A young horse bucks enthusiastically on the lunge at the beginning of her lesson. By the end of the session she is significantly more balanced and cadenced through the use of lunging spirals - the practice of lunging the horse on progressively larger and smaller circles. In addition to explaining the benefits of lunging spirals, J.P. Giacomini describes the method of gathering loops in the lunge to decrease the size of a circle. He also defines the benefits of using an obtuse rein angle in the lunge line to assist this particular horse. | Lipizzaner/Anglo-Arab | 23 |
