The Shires Blenheim Market Harborough is a Blenheim quality Market Harborough training aid with continental web reins. Useful for ridden flat work, this training aid is fastened to the girth and runs up between the front legs, dividing into two narrow straps, each with a small clip hook at the end. These straps pass through the bit rings, from the inside to the outside, then are clipped to small D-rings on the reins.

When fitted correctly, the Market Harborough applies pressure to the bit when the horse raises its head too far; this pressure is then relieved when the horse lowers its head. The horse is therefore consistently corrected in its way of going without rider interference in the mouth/with the bit. This training aid will help to develop topline muscle when the horse is working in a correct frame.

Caution: this training aid should only be used with an ordinary snaffle - not one with any sort of lever or gag action, or a Pelham. It should be fitted loosely to start with to allow the horse to get used to the action. Always make sure it's fitted loose enough so the direct, ordinary rein comes into action before the Market Harborough.

Available in Black or Havana; size Pony, Cob and Full.
