Tough-1 Leather Lunging Caveson

It gets the job done, but not great. The brass fittings are only secured on the ends. So when lunging, the metal can slip off the noseband. Likewise, the chin strap can slip, making the arrangement less than ideal. If you know what you're doing, get a better one. Now I wish I had bought a better one, but this will do for now. The leather is ok, the workmanship is satisfactory. The design is not.

This look wonderful, its leather, brass hardware...BUT its HUGE. I should have returned it. but really wanted it to fit. I punched holes in it to make shorter in the nose band area, removed the head band added electric tape to it for keepers. but still wont do its job correctly. Sorry to say I'm going to dump it at a tack swap.

The leather is pretty thick so should last but the nose band is so poorly thought out that when you do it up, the ends slide out and rub. There are no keepers to hold the latching buckle of the nose and to the padding of the nose and that wraps under the jaw. It is also very oversized. I have a full size Lusitano and it makes her head look small.

I get this was on sale and cheap, but cheap is what it is. It kind of looks bad, the leather is very cheap, the hardware cheap, and the way it's put together, the sizing, doesn't stay in place while on the horse. The cheaply nylon one I have stays put better. I thought by going to a more durable construction it would shift less, but that's not the case. Later I spent 80$ and got a beautiful leather one from Germany, with perfect construction. It stays in place too. You get what you pay for I guess.

This caveson is made very well and fits a wide range of horses. I have a small quarter horse and a largish draft and it fits both of them. I highly recommend it.

Most awful cavesson I've ever purchased. On the back of the noseband, there are no keeper straps for the leather and the buckle, so the back of the straps stay in place, but the noseband goes where it pleases. Also, the metal piece going over the noseband (sorry for the unprofessional terminology) with the rings is only attached by the leather straps, two on each side. My horse is in training and today, he pulled back, and the metal piece pulled down onto his nose. The cheek strap is placed too high on the headset. It slips into a throat latch.Also, I bought a full sized. I have a 17.3 hand Thoroughbred. All he's ever fit in is full. But with this, I would tighten the top buckle and the cheek strap would go up. If I loosened it to make the cheek strap go back again, the nose band almost covered his nostrils. Very poorly made cavesson, would certainly not recommend to ANYONE.

awesome

Bought this & there are no keeper straps to keep the metal hardware in place so it slips down off the leather noseband as soon as you use it

I have a large Appendix who oftentimes requires warmblood-sized head gear. I had this caveson adjusted to its smallest size and it was still too loose a fit, not to mention very stiff.

I just received this cavesson in the mail and I was actually very surprised at the way that the leather felt and the padding on the nose band. It also seems like it will be a large enough size to fit on my warmbloods very large head. I am going to take it for a test run tonight, I am eager to see how it works. Will definitely add to my review. So far great product for the price
