Leather Lunging Caveson

I’m looking for a n nice leather caveson that would fit a QHx, we are currently using a nylon one but I find it difficult to clean and keep clean, would much prefer a leather one! I’d like to avoid anything that would be shipped from the US due to tariffs, located in Canada. Thank you!

Would something like a micklem bridle work? That’s what I lunged in. I liked how versatile it was and used it with or without a bit

I also like lunging in a bridle with a bit attachment thing, like this: https://theartofhorsemanship.com/products/quick-lunge-attachment. It’s nice because you don’t have to make any adjustments when you change directions.

I never really wanted a dedicated lunging caveson because they seem limited to me—like, if you want to lunge in side reins, a neck stretcher, a Pessoa system, or double-lunge and drive, you need a bridle.

I have a Hildago St.Louis. It is beautiful. I believe Hidalgo is based in Austria.

I have one, decent leather and love the fact that the bit can be clipped in.

I searched a long time trying to find a leather one like the Spanish Riding School used.
Found one made by Irish Saddlery in Ireland and they had an Ebay account. So check there. It’s by far the nicest one I’ve seen. And not real expensive either.

I have not personally ordered from them but I have admired them from afar: LazyPony on Etsy.
