Neck Rein Your Horse

[@Foxiepawstotti]

The fly landing on a horse and the resultant shudder is what I tell people when trying to educate them out of using whips etc. We arent even that sensitive, so imagine what a riding crop feels like on your skin to understand what a horse feels. Similarly the neck pressure of the opposing rein being lifted up the neck is all it takes to signal (and the legs, but as you stated the reins are the signal you want them to respond to). Really enjoyed this as theres not a lot of people I know who understand neck reining.

I'm British and have neck reined for decades, I picked it up naturally by reading as a ypung person, watching how people did it (not many in the UK) and always had really good success using signalling as opposed to leverage. We have a couple of youngsters coming just after new year so want to continue this way of riding and pass it on to my grand daughter too. It just always seemed a no brainer to me, lifting the opposing rein up the neck to get them to turn. I'm glad to hear you see neck reining the same as I do because, again, I don't see many others doing what I do. I also really put a lot of emphasis on relationship building ground work because its fundamental in my mind. Of course your legs and seat are important too to help them understand what is required of them. Man handling isn't something I ascribe to. It requires asking as opposed to force in my mind. I get confused describing it but do exactly what you do, its easier to do it than say it. I used to ride like this in a snaffle but it requires light hands and consistency as you said. I found you from the make your own bosal hanger because I don't want bits on these youngsters and am going to get bosals for them. Lovely boy you have there, you have really given him a great perspective considering he had been 'mishandled' before (I see too much pressure as mishandling as thats the root of hardening in horses).

Good video for retraining a horse in the Buckaroo traditions! Do tou start your horses in a snaffle? I use to start my horses in a 5/8 rawhide bosal,with a 5/8 tail hair mecate. They seemed to take on a neck rein quicker with a tail hair mecate bosal instead of a snaffle set up! Of course there's more than one way to skin a cat! Hahaaaaaw!

[@remounthorsemanship6592]

Thanks! Yep. I either start them in a 5/8 or 3/4. 🤙🤙

Every horse I had from the time I was 9 years old until I sold my last horse when I was 50 I neck reined. I was surprised when I took my grandson to riding lessons that they didn’t neck rein any of their horses. Is it not popular anymore?

Oh no it is. A lot just depends on the stage of training the horse is at what bit your using etc.
