The surcingle has been an important equestrian training aid as well as an essential piece of equipment since the 14th century. Simply put, a surcingle is a belt-like device that is fastened around the girth area of a horse, just behind the withers and shoulder area to keep driving, riding or training equipment in place. Long lines are attached to the ring on the bridle, or cavesson, and strung through the D-rings of the surcingle. This gives the handler control of both sides of the horse from head to tail.
