In order to pull heavy carriages with a number of people inside, horses must have really big muscles and immense strength so that they would be able to carry the heavy weight. Now the pessoa system works like a sort of training program that would enlarge the muscles of horses. For them, it is like a form of a workout wherein they build more muscle mass.

Now to give people an overview on how this system works, it is best to know about some of the equipment that is being used here. First, there are the ropes that will be pulled by a pulley which is attached to what is known as lunge lines. These lunge lines are adjustable and one can adjust the difficulty level any time.

When one would want to train his horse, what he will do is that he will let his horse undergo a lunging session to build his leg muscles. The first thing to do would be to put on the headstall followed by his pad and a surcingle. After that, try to put on some boots for the horse or try wrapping the legs with some cloth.

The chambon will then be attached to the surcingle in order to hold the horse down. While attaching the chambon, one has to be sure that it is not attached too tight or too loose. If it is too tight, the horse will be uncomfortable but if it is too loose, he may be able to shake the chambon off immediately.

The next thing to do would be to grab the rubber neck extender and try to attach it to the rear part of the animal and attach it to the right and left side. Now take note that this part is to be put in the part near the two back legs of the horse or namely the hocks. If one would do this, he will encourage the horse to move in long and low movements.

When all of those things are already done, then one has to now take it to the training area to begin its workout. The thing to do here would be to start moving around in a circle first just in case this would be the first time it is experiencing this type of training. It should be pushed to go forward slowly.

Eventually, the horse will get used to the heaviness that it has to pull and would then be able to take a little bit more weight later on. Now what makes this mechanism interesting is that it will also help the horse be able to have a good posture while it is training. It can actually help the animal be able to have a straight body which it will get used to while pulling the carriage.

So for those who do not know, this is how the pessoa system training program for horses work. This is actually a specific training program that has been tailor made for those horses that are meant to pull the carriages. It will give them enough strength that will allow them to take the hard work of pulling the carriage.
