Neck Stretcher Solo

Neck Stretcher for Horses — Lunging & Flatwork

The Solo Neck Stretcher is one of our lunging and training aids: 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. It is fairly simple and easy to use, and effective without using force, thanks to the elastic.

Key Features

• Suitable for lunging and ridden/flatwork
• Easy to adjust — the toggle sets it longer or shorter for each individual horse
• Elastic construction applies gentle, self-releasing pressure
• Uses mostly poll pressure, with secondary pressure on the bit
• Effective without using force

How It Works

If the horse raises its head or pushes its nose out, the neck stretcher puts downward pressure on the poll, with secondary pressure on the bit. When attached between the legs there is less pressure on the mouth and more on the poll.

Fitting Tips

A Girth Loop (GIR300) can be used to attach the neck stretcher to the girth, or to add a bit of length if needed.

Important Safety Note

This should NOT be used for jumping — the horse must be free to stretch its neck out over the fence, or raise it for balance on landing.
