How To Use The Reins On A Horse 🐴

- In this video, I discuss how to use the reins on a horse. If you are a beginner or even an advanced rider I hope you find some valuable information.
I start by discussing the correct rein length. This is important to know as it can positively or negatively affect how effective your reins are when communicating different things to your horse.
Next, I cover the two most common ways that I use my reins. These are the opening rein and direct rein. Each one will be used at different times depending on how your horse reacts to your seat. To illustrate this I demonstrate using the opening rein to turn and also using a direct rein.
I wish you success as you learn how to use the reins riding your horse! Feel free to leave any questions or video ideas you would like to see next 😊

I hope you found this video helpful. As always feel free to leave video ideas or questions :)
Can you explain more the seat leg rein in your next video?
My daughter would love to see a video on how to half seat the canter. She has just started cantering her pony. ☺️
Where is your riding club ????
Like I commeted before soon my dad and I would be looking at horses do you think you could make a video of recommendations?
Hi ah can I get your insta please so i can discuss about my horse???
As a newbie to horse riding this is so helpful thank you
Thank you so much! As a beginner learning how to ride, this helps so much! I always look forward to your helpful videos!
Hows it going :D
Hi I'm from India,
I'm just a beginner, I appreciated, your
are teaching like a story teller
Your production values are terrific. Great sound, great camera work and editing. I also want to mention that your content is top notch and I wish you many many more subscribers!
I found this video well-designed easy to follow while learning every second was running on.
your videos are very effective, helpful and enjoyable you deserve more views and subscribes. i think you are underrated and it feels bad,
She is really underrated ikr
Agree!
Thank you so much for the love and support 💕🐴
@@JSHorsemanship thank you ma'am for reply.
Thank you so much...it's really very informative..👍👍👍👍
This is great so clear and helpful. Please do a series on rein aids because I havent seen anything like this before. I didnt know what "the right channel" was either. Love your videos. Crosby is so majestic too x
You give directions in such a clear way. All your video's are excellent. Thank you!!
I’m so glad they helped😊 thanks for the positivity💕
So helpful to see looking down on the reins!
Thank you verry much! I do alright with one reigns (polo) but kinda struggled using two reigns. This helps a lot.
Your voice is so calming
Thank you! This is so helpfull all this time i was wodering how to use it more soft for the horse.
I like her calm easy tone of voice
Just started learning . 8th lesson today in rein control. Scary moments. The horse bucked . Was very twitchy and I felt very scared. Once lost the reins when the horse put its head down. Thankfully it was stationary. Scared.
I just got back to riding. I have to start all over again and your videos help me so much. Thank you, keep up the good work😊
I really like your soft voice and manner to explain difficult concepts. I bet you're a good teacher!
Im a new horseback rider and this video helped me a lot! Thank yiu
Yes so helpful thank you so much! 😃❤️👑
Yes! Thank you! This was a simple and direct visual explanation for how and when to use these different rein techniques! Much appreciated! Long time neck reining western rider, gone English direct reining, struggle with contact on their mouth and how to freaking steer! I end up with loose reins, that bang on the bit as her head moves, and can’t find that sweet spot, let alone steer. So this was simple and helpful. 🥰
Hi 😊
Thanks for the positivity💕 I remember when I switched from western to English contact was something I really struggled with too.🐴 I’m so glad the video helped 😊
I love your videos. I learn by visual demonstration and thorough explanation. My instructor talks too fast and doesn’t take the necessary time for me to really get something. As a result, I viewed myself as a slow learner and get confused when she explains something to me. I am 62 and started taking lessons 4 years ago. I now own a POA and ride Western. You are up there among my favorites.
Love this. Very helpful. My horse tends to drift, a lot. Shoulder control a a huge project for us. Any videos?
awesome rein lesson!
I love your grey it's so pretty!
I just stumbled upon your channel and honestly your videos are so helpful!! I very recently started riding and after watching 3 or 4 of your videos it’s all starting to make sense to me 😁
I’m so happy to hear that 😊
Thanks this is great teaching
This was SO USEFUL!!! Tank You! 💖
thanks, your videos are more useful than my instructor. My instructor just yell at me, don't teach or show me how to do it the correct way :'(
I really like your way of presenting the teaching method, like I can quickly understand based on the "pictures" you draw, and you clearly show how your legs/hands are moving. Most videos i've watched they just talk and i don't know what they really mean until someone demonstrate it
And the instructor is supposed to be working for You. IMHO, a different instructor might be worth checking into.
Yes very helpful and pretty clear. The graphic was helpful. Will practice this and love the purple reins!
Very helpful. Thank you very much 😊
thank you for explaining x
Another fantastic learning video .Thanks
Great video and great teacher 👍
Great vid. Subscribed
This is a helpful shot for those just starting to ride in an English style but I am one of those who rides in a western style and we use reins slightly different in fact many of us western riders opt to not use a bit at all so direct pressure and neck reining air taught to is as beginners...all the other sides are pretty much the same
Thank you that was great. I’m a beginner and all your video tips are so helpful x
Excellent info thank you
❤❤❤❤ more please love your voice and temperament love learning from you!!! Thank you for sharing 🙏🏾🙌🏾
Thank you for your content.
You are so clear , helpful and interesting. Not many instructors actually go through the fundamentals of how to use what , when and where when learning to ride. You are exactlty the type of person and instructor I would have loved to have had lessons from years ago when I was learning. Instead I had either those who didn't teach much at all and the last was so rude and aggressive to the class many gave it away including me.
Hi Erica😊
Thank you for the positive feedback💕 I know how frustrating it can be to work with someone you don’t understand or connect with. I hope if you get back into riding that you find an instructor who can support and inspire you🐴💕
This is one of the best videos I have seen on this topic. The top down view really helped. Thank you!
Thank you! The detailed breakdown is very helpful.
Very helpful!
Really helpful! Fantastic production. Super helpful camera shots. Thank you!!!
Thanks...I was waiting for this video...great vid
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊❤️
@@JSHorsemanship Thanks for replying ..Just wanna say this is one of the great video...Keep working...and remember my name I'm one of your old fan...My comments are in most of the videos and thanks :)
Thank you for all your wonderful comments and support 😊💕🐴 I appreciate you sharing this journey with me🐎
@@JSHorsemanship 👍😄thx
Thank you, the video is very helpful! Do you have any videos where you ride and explain the movements/directions more?
Thank you!
Thank you so much, your explanations were really useful. It helped me a lot
Great experience watching and internalizing the directions 🎈🎈
thank you very informative video
Thank you for this, especially the reins, my daughter struggles with this and I’m sure this will help!
Extremely helpful video from this perspective and excellent explanation!
Your exercises are soooooo helpful for me and my horse. The gently and painless way for horse and rider. Your videos are very clear and friendly. Thank you one more time!!!!!
Thank you for this. I hope you realize what a good Teacher you are. 🐎
HUGE help!
This was a fantastic , simple and well explained lesson , thank you
Thank so much! Im one of a beginner and most of the time my horse I’m riding always falls out the space it’s supposed to trot on. Now I understand I need to use the open reins! Thank you!!
I ride a little different but this still helps me in the future when I try new ways! I use braided reins..and keep up the good work with your vids I love them❤
Thanks for the tips, totally helped me, can you post some showing us how to use our legs, as l have now clue
Thank you so much .
💞thank you so very much, you are so close and loving with your horses. It's always so pleasant to watch. I turned off many strange videos, not convinced about horses' welfare, if I am honest and I ask myself, what to do ~ and at least I decided to change the channel, most times lots videos show not the love to horses ! .💞so fine, seeing you in that togetherness!!! XXX Linda
Excellent
Nice style and simple way of training beginners.
I learned the trial and error method in the year 1976.
Keep ticking good narration
Your video helps me learn my first steps in horse riding 🐎 Thank you 🙏🏻
That’s awesome! 🐎 Thanks for sharing 😊
Yes also videos on how to make your horse more forward more exercises you do to keep yourself horse fit and strong x
Very helpful I’m a beginner and it really helps
excellent insight especially for a beginner like me
That's really help to make
I am starting to retrain an OTTB and am using a bitless bridle since he has nerve damage to his mouth from racing (teeth have been checked by vet and dentist). I have been using your techniques and love your demonstrations. Would love to see you try a bitless bridle in a video-I have used them on a forward TB and a seasoned QH and both respect the bitless readily. Bitless is much more forgiving for those who tend to be heavy-handed--it helps the rider understand that they don't need to be--the horse adapts quickly!
thanks!
good ,knowladge share by u,, thanks
Great video! I've struggled with horses falling out, this was such a clear explanation of when using the open rein is beneficial! I'm working on slowing down a hot sensitive horse. She gets bored quickly, so I'm looking for techniques to help her settle down and focus. A video would be great!
Hi😀
Thanks so much for sharing. I’m so glad you found the video helpful!
Helping a horse to relax and preventing boredom are both wonderful topics. I will add them to my list of future videos🐴
Poem for Joan
When Joan enters all the horses cry with joy and thats a thing u can't deny.She teaches them how to be a good horse.Im not surprised at all.Her character is friendship because all the horses think she is a gift. But when she leaves everyone thinks who will fill our lives with beauty,joy,grace.The horses cry whilst Joan is away with an occupant mind.The horses say to each other don't worry when Joans back our life will be better.When Joan enters the barn will fill with life.Everybody will be back together.Just like they were.
Written by Amir
Awww thank you Amir😊
It is a very kind and thoughtful poem. Thanks for taking the time to write it and share it🐴
You are the best I now know how to cantor and I’m 10 soon I will learn how to gallop your channle has helped me a lot learning how to ride after I can get galloping down we will be looking at horses just thank you it helped me so much your channle just so awesome we love u ❤️❤️❤️
That’s awesome😀🐎 Keep up the good work! I’m so glad the videos have been a help to you💕 Thanks for sharing 😊
I’m working on indirect rein - and bending. I am looking for a bit more of propulsion as my my horseback and I circle. I like what you said about the “channel” - info on getting your horse straight, too.
I’m also curious about “kneeling” in the saddle to give weight and leg cues.
These are great topics🐴 I will add them to my list of videos to do💕
lovely
Hi how are u .I hope u are well love your vids.I hope you're having a nice 👌 day good luck to u and your horse
I feel like you make it not hurt the horse at AL!!
can you make videos on getting the horse on the bit , flying change , how to prepare the horse to canter by seat opening the inside hand etc
I love your videos, you have some of the best informational content, and you have a very friendly, encouraging vibe- I would love for you to go more in depth on some topics, like this one, maybe something more about contact, how to achieve it and maintain it? I am struggling with that, I try very hard to have soft hands, to the point where I give the contact away- I am finally keeping my fingers closed now, but my instructor demonstrated what she thinks is the right amount of contact, and it is FAR HEAVIER than what I had thought, and what you described at the beginning of this video looks like what I try to do, but in my lesson yesterday she said I wasn't keeping him on the rein, and like I said, what she demonstrated seemed very overbearing and heavy! The horse I ride seems to prefer the way I do it, too, but that doesn't always mean it is the right way! That is us in my user photo, if the photo is big enough to critique, I welcome any constructive feedback!
Thank you again!
(And I must say your position is enviable, I am still working on keeping my legs well underneath me! You have such an elegant posture!)
Hi😊
Thank you so much for your positive feedback and kind words❤️ Having a soft elastic and consistent contact can be a difficult thing to achieve and maintain. I believe there are several things that contribute to the consistency of your contact including your balance as well as your horse’s balance. This is a topic that is difficult to describe and would be more easily understood with visuals so I will plan to do a future video this year covering it🐴
Thanks for the help! I really like your reins. Where did you get them?
They are just PSofSWEDEN regular leather Dressage reins. I wrapped purple masking tape around them to make them more visible:)
Thank you this is so helpful. I've been riding Western for two years and am having my first English lesson this Saturday and was freaking out because I realized I had no idea how to use English reins and then I saw this in my recomended and clicked on it in like half a second. Thank you so much.
God bless you madam
I really love your video, simple, effective, what do you use to video when you're on the horse and we see your hands, do you have something like a go pro attached to your helmet?
Thanks Annie ❤️ Yes it is a Go Pro 9 and I am using a chest strap
@@JSHorsemanship thanks a lot for your answer
I really like your video🙂 but can you make a video about how to make lazy horse go because when i ride my horse she doesn want to walk or move
Hi😊 I made a video on this you can check it out here👉th-cam.com/video/LUG-gzWbD7c/w-d-xo.html
I haven't ridden a horse in about 5 years. I have lost all memory of every single thing about caring for horses and riding them. I remember when I first started, my legs were so tiny, I had to use my whole legs to kick the horse, and it took a lot of practice to use only the lower half.
Hi please tell me how to make my horse move without having to give her a light smack with the reins and how to make her run without smacking at all. That will be super helpful 👍🏻
Hi...what do you mean by "close left leg"?
I'm having trouble with keeping my shoulders back and relaxing when I canter. Any tips ?
Hi 😊
Here’s a video that may be a help to you🐴
m.th-cam.com/video/gzK5icjFxoc/w-d-xo.html
My instructor is telling me to technically lift my hand for steering. I did the opening rein for the longest time and she says I’m pulling.. so I can’t do the way I’m used to which makes me so confused when trying
I have a question, I’m taking horse back riding lesson since last august and i have one thing that keeps happening and I don’t know how to fix. When i troat my horse sometimes stops and even if i use whip(softly always) and leg pressure or this thingy with my tongue😂 he doesn’t start, what can i do?
Hi😊
Thanks for sharing🐴 There are a few things that you can do to help improve your horses responsiveness to you in this area. Here is a video that may be a help 👉th-cam.com/video/LUG-gzWbD7c/w-d-xo.html
I have one question, what do you mean by "closing the right/left, or closing the outside leg"?
That’s a great question😊 To close your leg means to put your leg in contact with the horse side.🐴
I always have trouble with my rein length- they’re usually much too long and I don’t realize it until I go to use them. When I shorten them, I feel like I’m tugging so I lose the bend in my elbows. 🤦🏼♀️
👍
Hi I’m riding open rein on my horse Lacy
🐎👍
I have my first lesson tomorrow and I'm so scared. Not that I will fail but that I will accidentally hurt the horse by pulling the reins. Kick their stomach etc.
Thank you so much. I wish I could learn from yoy😂
I can’t ride because I’m allergic to horses I wish there was something I could do about it 😢 so this is as close as I can get so far
I have a Confidence for your video
Polo is the other discipline in riding which requires 1 handed as well!
