The gradual elastic effect of the JP SofTTurn System™ eliminates the horse’s lateral resistance to turning. It facilitates hand communication and gives great comfort to the mouth. The SofTTurn helps the horse to respond accurately and happily to the rein aids and its beneficial effects extend much further by relaxing the withers, back and haunches muscles. By decompressing the back, the SofTTurn relaxes the horse and brings it quickly to the parasympathetic mode (“Rest and digest”). Though the SofTTurn appears similar at first look to a regular running martingale, it differs radically from its action by its absence of constraining/ blocking effects that prevents rough, painful mouth reactions.
The JP SofTTurn System™By infinitely self-adjusting design creates a constant “Persuasion Guiding Effect” that mimics the knowledgeable “Feel” of an experienced trainer’s hand. It significantly improves the contact with the bit, regardless of horse’s age, breed or discipline or rider’s ability. Beginners and Olympic veterans, amateurs and professionals have already adopted it to use with hunters, jumpers, eventers and dressage horses. Its benefits extend to trail riding, where a relaxed, happy ride is highly desirable.
