How to Use
- Measure around your horse's barrel just behind the withers and choose Pony or Full based on the working lengths above.
- Place the roller over a numnah or pad so the padding sits either side of the spine, clear of the withers.
- Fasten the girth straps evenly on both sides, tightening gradually until the roller is secure but not tight.
- Attach your side reins to the rings at the height that suits your horse's stage of training, keeping both sides level.
- Walk the horse forward for a few strides, then re-check and adjust the tension before starting work.
- Loosen and remove after the session, then wipe the roller clean and allow it to dry naturally.
FAQ
What size Waldhausen roller do I need?
The Pony size adjusts from 1.60 to 1.80 m and the Full size adjusts from 1.80 to 2.10 m. Measure around the barrel just behind the withers and pick the size that places your measurement within range; if you fall between sizes, choose the larger one so you keep adjustment in the buckles.
Why does the roller have 13 rings?
The 13 rings help you manage lunging with two lines and let you clip the side reins at several different positions, so you can raise or lower the contact as your horse's training progresses.
Is the roller comfortable for the horse?
The internal padding is soft lattice foam, which cushions the roller and provides maximum comfort. Using it over a numnah or pad also helps keep the pressure off the spine.
Can I use it for long-reining as well as lunging?
Yes. The ring layout suits long-reining, two-line lunging and general in-hand groundwork, used with your own lunge lines and side reins.
How do I clean and care for it?
Wipe the nylon with a damp cloth and mild soap, then leave it to dry naturally away from direct heat. Check the stitching, buckles and rings regularly and stop using the roller if anything shows wear.
Does the Pony size have 13 rings too?
The Pony version is fitted with 11 rings, while the Full size has 13.
