How to use the Kentucky Head Setter
This is a wonderful, brand new modified "Kentucky" head setter. It is a bit different
from most head set rigs and is the only tool that will help your horse achieve that perfect
chess piece head set. This one is HORSE size. Ever wonder how the trainers do it,
get that perfect headset? Well, now you know. This bridle may look a bit unusual, but if
you take a look at the photos, you will understand how perfectly this head setter is
designed and how outstanding results can be achieved in a totally humane fashion. This
bridle is made to use with a mild snaffle bit attached to a simple pulley system that only
pulls on the mouth when the head is not in the correct position. The overcheck and bit
lifts the head and neck up and the bit brings the nose in. When the head is where it
should be, there is absolutely NO pressure on the horse. So, the horse teaches
himself, exactly where to put his head to avoid contact with the bit. This is really quite a
bit easier on the horse than even really good hands can be, since there is no jerking,
wobbling or any inconsistency from unsteady hands!
This bridle is made to be VERY versatile and easy to use. You can use this bridle in
the stall for a few minutes each day to strengthen the neck and back muscles. You can
also use this bridle with long lines. It can be used with side reins and a longe line. There
are unique D rings attached at 2 places on both sides of the cavesson (you wont' find
this anywhere else ) to attach your longe line, one high and one low. So, when you get
your horse ready, in side reins, you can have him work on the longe line without attaching
the line to his mouth - just the cavesson. Again - he will learn his head set without
anybody's jerking hands ruining his mouth! You can even use this bridle from the saddle
by attaching the over check to a string that you fasten between the D rings near the cut
back of your saddle.
