Chambon whip or other method to encourage impulsion in the horse. If a horse is not longed properly, he may begin to go on his forehand. Chambons can also cause sore neck muscles if overused. Chambon A chambon is a piece of horse tack. It is a strap that runs forward from the bottom of the girth or surcingle, and forks. The forks continue to a ring on either side of the bridle or halter, at the base of the crownpiece. Running through those rings, the forks follow the cheekpieces to the bit. They may attach to the bit or pass
Girth (geometry) width, with the same width "w". All curves of constant width have the same perimeter, the same value "w" as the circumference of a circle with that width (this is Barbier's theorem). Therefore, every surface of constant width is also a surface of constant girth: its girth in all directions is the same number "w". Hermann Minkowski proved, conversely, that every convex surface of constant girth is also a surface of constant width. For a prism or cylinder, its projection in the direction parallel to its axis is the same as its cross section, so in these cases the girth
