The training dummy Pferdinand is perfect for introducing young horses to riding. This gentle and safe approach allows the horse to gradually get used to the rider in the saddle. It counteracts the horse's natural instinct to shy away from a perceived danger from above with a gentle adaptation and habituation process. Pferdinand is made of sturdy nylon material. It features attached loops on both legs and the hips, allowing for easy attachment to the saddle and stirrups. Additionally, the ends of the legs are secured to the saddle. The upper body should be filled lightly, for example, with bubble wrap. The arms have loops at the front, which can be easily secured to the front of the saddle with the Maria-Hilfs strap. Additional fixation can be attached to the loops around the hips, which connects to the saddle.
