How do I turn horse in long reins?
Horse training
Long reining is driving the horse along the road or fields walking behind it; or by working on a circle, which is a good way to introduce the horse for the first time, and improves rhythm and balance.
How to train horses is a matter of choice as people have many different ideas and beliefs.
It is educating and part of the sequence of breaking a horse, though not everybody will see it as essential.
To turn the horse in any direction you need to prepare him first, by using half-halts so you are slightly checking him encouraging the hind legs to step under.
Keep your reins in a straight line.
You need to feel the horse from both hands through the reins to the bit or nose.
Using the reins correctly will enable the horse to turn smoothly, looking in the direction it is turning.
If you want to turn right, walk a little way out to the horse’s right.
You ask for the turn with your right rein and your left rein, which is around the quarters, controls them and encourages the horse to move forward through the turn.
When turning left, you use the same method, walking a little way out to the left side, asking for the turn with your left rein and guiding the quarters with your right rein.
