Sufficient engagement, marked by overlapping of the trace of the foreleg, further opens up the vertebrae from TH14 to TH18 and from L5 to the sacrum, areas often prone to pathologies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-bold text-lg mb-6 text-primary-800 dark:text-gray-100\"\u003eEasy to install\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation of the MATH is quick and easy.  balls can be placed behind the halter or snaffle (without browband) thanks to the adjustable browband.  Adjust the leather strap tension length so the high point of the neck is 5 to 10 cm lower than the high point of the withers.
