Step-by-step: Teach Your Horse to NECK-REIN

Teach your horse to neck rein with this step-by-step tutorial. My process for teaching my horses to steer is simple and effective. Neck reining starts from the first ride on and becomes easy for the horse to understand at all stages.

Absolutely! Thank you for watching!

Wonderful video(s)! I learn so much from you guys! Can you review placement and use of the rider's inside and outside legs when turning?

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

Thanks for watching! My legs stay in a neutral position right behind the cinch on both sides. When I turn, I apply the outside leg and if there's no response, I start bumping the horse until he moves over. I don't really open up my inside leg, because I want my horse to continue to travel forward during the turn. If he turns inside out (nose to the outside of the turn), I'll use my inside leg to soften the ribcage and point his nose back in the direction we're traveling. I hope all that makes sense.

[@ElliottsWay]

Yes it does! Thank you so much!😊

Can you do a video on how to retrain your horse to be kicked to go instead of squeeze.

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

That's a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion!

What bit do you use

[@zacharias.horsemanship]

The bit I'm using on this horse is a medium shank correction: fgproshop.com/collections/western-horses-bits-fg-collection/products/fg-light-weight-correctional-bit
