The training dummy Pferdinand is perfect for introducing young horses to riding. This gentle and safe approach to mounting allows the horse to gradually get used to the rider in the saddle. It provides a gentle adaptation and habituation to the natural instinct of avoiding danger from above. Pferdinand is made of sturdy nylon material. It features sewn loops on both legs and the hips, allowing for easy attachment to the saddle and stirrups. Additionally, the ends of the legs can be 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 fixed 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.
