Farmena Chambon

Chambon - Horse Training and Flexibility Aid Product Features Function: Physically restricts the horse from raising its head beyond a certain point. Mechanism: Works by applying pressure to the nape (hollow) area. Adjustability: The length of the Chambon determines how high the head can be raised. Purpose: To relax the back, gather the hindquarters, and promote muscle development. Product Description Chambon is an effective training equipment used to improve the biomechanics of the horse and work the correct muscle groups. Its basic working principle is based on applying pressure to the "hollow" area of ​​the nape when the horse raises its head. Since horses generally dislike this pressure, they quickly learn to release it by lowering their heads. Physical Development and Gathering: This equipment encourages the relaxation of the back muscles and the flexion of the spine by keeping the horse's head down while in motion. With the relaxation of the back, the horse moves towards a "collection" motion by bringing its hind legs further under its body. Functionally, it performs the exact opposite task of the rein movement used to raise the horse's head. Technical Advantages and Pros: **Correct Posture Training:** Encourages correct posture by preventing the horse from raising its head beyond a fixed point. **Strengthens Back Muscles:** Allows the back line to stretch and strengthen as the horse lowers its head. **Rear Leg Propulsion:** Increases the horse's balance and propulsion by bringing the hindquarters under the body. **Precise Adjustment:** The Chambon length allows for gradual lowering of the head position. **Self-Learning:** The horse learns the correct form on its own by noticing the reduced pressure when it lowers its head. **Applications:** **Muscle and balance training for young horses; Rehabilitation of horses with stiff backs or excessive head raising; Increasing flexibility in longeing training; Pre-dressage preparation.
