There's an old saying that draw reins should only be used by experienced riders... and experienced riders never need to use them. Draw reins pull the horse's head down into a shape, but are they useful? This week Jody Hartstone Grand Prix, dressage rider and Equitation Science specialist, gives us her opinion on the use of draw reins. Learn more at www.equinetrader.co. nz
Most peoples horses ... By: ThatPiaRene. on 06 Apr 12, 05:02:29 Most peoples horses dont react like that if theyve been exposed to it lightly instead of going off and going " oh look how bad these are!" And pulling on the unexpecting horse. What do you think it was going to do? Just sta d there? Ive used draw reigns on a friends horse and it works great.?
Draw reins are ... By: MJEdwards92. on 16 Mar 12, 14:11:46 Draw reins are often abused by inexperienced riders to "get the head in" but they can be an great tool when in the right hands and the horse is ready.They are to be used lightly to give the horse guidance more than anything for short periods of time. They are not to drag the head in, but through? LIGHT use of the draw reins they can help maintain the frame and lift the back. but yes if you apply pressure and not use your legs and seat as one, this is what you will get.
If you need to use ... By: Houndify. on 04 Mar 12, 03:08:12 If you need to use draw reins to get your horse "on the bit" you might need to take up push bike riding! Draw reins are for lazy cheaters who have no idea of? correct training principles. Outside rein inside leg!!!
draw reins are fine ... By: TheOliviablue. on 27 Feb 12, 01:21:13 draw reins are fine if you use them mildly and? the horse is ready. there fine for frame and collection if the horse is ready
I saw the title and ... By: AriellSolo. on 21 Feb 12, 02:21:35 I saw the title and I was like "oohhhh lord here we go" and when she said "draw reins have no? use in equitation" I practically shouted "THANK YOU"
I dont see a ... By: sweetriddle101. on 03 Dec 11, 05:05:50 I dont see a problem with draw reins, as long as they? are used correctly, and when the horse is ready, there is no problem with the use of draw reins. this horse above obviously isnt ready
there is nothing ... By: englishcowgirl98. on 02 Dec 11, 15:39:36 there is nothing wrong with them you and? your horse need to be ready for them!
Uh wow, this person ... By: hawaiianpony. on 20 Oct 11, 17:31:33 Uh wow, this person obviously knows nothing about headset, collection, or framing up if she says draw reins are not useful.....typical. Naturally in English, they're not practical (or rarely used, as they're more of a western training aid)..so im not? surprised shes giving them a bad name. A calm horse will react to draw reins correctly, obviously this mare isn't ready for them and needs more ground work and sacking out. If not abused, Draw reins are a great tool.
