I would be so pleased if you were able to sell these items in smaller sizes!

It does look a great piece of kit, but not all of us have horses with huge heads. Is there any chance of it being produced in smaller sizes (pony and cob)?.

I was kindly leant the Horse Hero lunge rope to try out on my youngster & what a fabulous, effective & kind piece of kit that is. So as I needed to get my own of that, I thought I'd treat myself to the trio & get a decent cavesson (investment buying is my excuse!!).
Wow, after several days of use all I can say is it will have to be prised out of my dead hands! It looks a classy piece of kit & has drawn a lot of admiration on the peg in the tackroom but it's when you start to use it that it really shows how useful it is.
Lungeing the experienced horse, the cavesson fits snugly & doesn't slip & it must be more comfortable then putting over the top of a bridle. My horse took a much firmer contact on the lunge rein when lungeing him off the cavesson rather than the bit.
Today I popped it into my car as I was off to a friend's stud to work with some youngstock. First task of the day was a 3 year old oldenburg colt who had never been bitted before.
Typically of breeders stock, he wasn't over-handled, which makes more pleasant horses to work with long term in my opinion. But he was a bit wary of the head piece going over his ears. No problem, I whipped off the browband & popped the cavesson on like a head collar. Next up was bitting & how much easier with one long strap to do up than trying to juggle fastening cheek pieces.
Then off for some leading practice with the rope off the cavesson, where you have more control than a headcollar & can leave the mouth well alone in the baby horse.
Top bit of kit & ever tack room should have one!
