The pessoa training aid is a more severe and to use only on a horse whose muscles are already somewhat developed, or it does not seem to be the case since you say that his back is not good.
why put the horse in trouble? The pessoa is not set correctly, you are in a rise which is difficult for him and it requires extra effort.
The strap comes back legs tapper in which gene the horse even more. No work may be good in this case. Especially since the horse does not hang your head in no time down. It is best to start not with the strap a little more fit for the reins fleet which brings only embarrassment for the poor animal.
If it hurts him to canter in a small circle, why not make the circle larger? You have plenty of longe line, push him out. Wont solve your problem but at least help him while hes recovering.
just to say the pessoa needs to sit tight against his rump in the groove between his hock and rump just little higher to push him from behind and ive found for best results for back problems if u attach a bit of string to the girth inbetween his legs then attach it to his bit then in between his legs so he works in a long low outline and pushes him from behind it works wonders hope he getts better
peeps ;) bless him hes very good being so well behaved with it flapping about behind his legs :) poor boy hope the pessoa helps him a lot and he gets better soon! x
He has the most amazing paces.. :) Even with all his back problems... which I hope can be fixed =/ I've always wondered what a pessoa actually does... I'm clueless.. xx
