Neck Stretcher Solo

Neck Stretcher for Horses — Lunging & Flatwork

The Solo Neck Stretcher 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. It encourages a rounder frame and a softer contact, without using force.

Key Features

• Suitable for lunging and ridden/flatwork
• Quick, easy adjustment with the toggle — fits any horse
• Elastic construction applies gentle, self-releasing pressure
• Works primarily on the poll, with secondary pressure on the bit
• Effective without force — the horse chooses to yield

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, making it kinder for horses still learning to soften.

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. Pair with your usual reins and lunging equipment for a complete training setup.

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.
