neck reigning is when the horse responds to the touch of the reins on one side of the neck. they move in the same direction the reigns are going, rather than responding to pressure in the mouth.

On a saddle what has the sole porpose of keeping the reins from going over the horse's head?

There is nothing ON the saddle that will prevent the reins from going over the horse's head in a fall. However, a piece of tack called an Irish Martingale can be used. An Irish Martingale is simply a piece of leather with two rings on each side. To use it, you would unbuckle the reins, slip each rein through its respective ring, position the 'martingale' in front of the horse's neck, and then refasten the reins on the horse's neck. For those horse people who are familiar with the term 'martingale', an Irish Martingale isn't actually a training aid, like other martingales, it's just given the name.
