Premiere Howlett (Thiedemann) Training Aid
Taxes included.
Shipping costs calculated at checkout.
The Howlett training aid, also known as the Thiedemann, sits exactly between draw reins and a standing martingale. It limits excessive head elevation and forward projections without imposing a frame: the horse retains genuine freedom in its natural position.
This gradual action makes it a daily training aid rather than a tool for occasional correction.
✨ Key benefits
- ✔ Provides guidance without restricting: it limits upward movement without imposing a position
- ✔ A gentle alternative between draw reins and a standing martingale
- ✔ The horse retains real freedom in its natural position
- ✔ Versatile: suitable for ridden flatwork and bringing a horse back into condition
📋 Technical specifications
- Type: Howlett training aid, also known as Thiedemann
- Adjustable in length
- Use: ridden work
🐎 Why choose this product?
Draw reins require a highly educated hand: when used incorrectly, they pull the horse's nose behind the vertical. The Howlett is more forgiving because it acts by limiting upward movement rather than through continuous pressure. It is the right choice for anyone who wants to provide guidance without risking restricting their horse.
🧴 Advice for use
⚠️ Always start too loose rather than too tight: the horse's nose must never go behind the vertical. Ask your instructor to help you with the initial adjustment. Start at walk for a few minutes, and never leave a horse wearing a training aid unattended.
Composition: leather, metal.
