Professional's Choice Schutz Long Training Fork - Harness Leather

Build Collection Without Sacrificing Control

The Professional's Choice Schutz Long Training Fork helps reinforce proper head carriage during training sessions while allowing natural movement and muscle development.

The extended length design provides balanced contact across the chest and poll, encouraging your horse to engage from behind while maintaining a soft, steady connection. Whether you're working on rhythm in the lunge line or building topline under saddle, the durable harness leather construction stands up to daily training without stretching or breaking down.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between a long fork and a standard training fork?

The long fork provides extended length for balanced contact distribution, making it ideal for horses that need encouragement to lift through the withers and engage from behind. It's particularly useful for horses with longer backs or those in early stages of collection training where maintaining forward movement is critical.

Q: How do I adjust the Professional's Choice Schutz Long Training Fork for my horse?

Use the Conway buckle system to lengthen or shorten the fork based on your horse's current stage of training. Start with a longer adjustment that allows natural head carriage, then gradually shorten as your horse builds strength and understanding. The buckle allows tool-free adjustments between sessions.

Q: Can I use this training fork for lunging and under saddle work?

Yes, the Schutz Long Training Fork is designed for both ground work and riding. Many trainers introduce it during lunge sessions to establish the feel before transitioning to under-saddle work. The harness leather construction provides consistent contact in both applications.
