"Save your money or buy something nicer. Elastics are too stretchy, pulleys fall apart every time I use which presents a huge safety issue. I wish I could return but I’m outside the 60 day window. Material for headstall and surcingle is cheap. Do not recommend!!"
"I like this system and it didn’t take long to figure out how to put it on by looking at the photos of it. The horses had a fairly easy time adjusting to it."
"Appears to be quality and usability, coming into the winter months for training purposes"
"The system itself serves the purpose and I don't mind the elasticity of the lines because it allows the horse to work and find their balance instead of leaning. The quality is not what I expected for the price though. Surcingle and cavesson are not great but usable, however the pulleys that connect to the bit are complete garbage and have fallen apart multiple times mid-lunge. I wasn't able to find the pieces in the dirt the last time this happened and customer service was unable to offer a replacement so I have to go on the hunt to find an alternative so I can actually use the system again. Think I would have been better off with similar systems available from other brands."
"The pulley broke after five minutes on first use. Not worth the price considering the cheap hardware. Return to sender."
"lungeing. easy to put on and hook up, but the elastic rope has too much give, allowing horses to pull instead of give to the system. I replaced this rope with nylon rope and reused the rest. Also, the throatlatch on the bridle was way too short to be useful."
"The cords are not as thick as your previous product. The cords allow a little too much give. The quality is not as good as they were originally."
"Don't waste your money I have a 17hh medium narrow TB. The lines have way too much give and absolutely no resistance. The system is useless because of these extremely elastic bungee lines. The horse can lift the head and push the rear legs out behind with little to no consequence and avoid the purpose of the system entirely. The cavesson/bridle is poorly shaped. The throat latch is way too short for the size of the bridle. The browband is huge as well. The surcingle fit perfectly although the cinch is very cheap feeling and would definitely cause sores/rubs on a sensitive skinned horse The butt strap is a very rough synthetic wool material and would also cause rubs after several minutes of use. I DO NOT recommend"
"When using this item don't butten them down tight, let them get used to it. For those whom that have never used an item like this. Go slow get them used to it. So you won't have any issues, with the use. Less is more! Leave on a good! Happy working."
"I couldn't use it because it was too confusing to figure out how to use. No directions or video"
