Best Answer

When teaching a horse to back up, you first release the pressure when the horse tries to back up. This will probably just be a slight backwards lean, a tip of the nose, or a hoof lifting. Eventually, you will ask for more as the horse starts to understand, until you can back up across the arena. This will take several days, weeks, maybe a month or two, depending on your horse. Don't be in a hurry though, because the slower you go, the sooner you reach your goal.

Why is a bit and briddle used in horses?

The bit on the bridle of a horse, is attached to the reins. The rider holds the reins and thus can control the horse. For example if you pull on the reins, the horse slows down or stops, because of the pressure that is placed on the horse's mouth. Likewise if you pull to the left or right with the rein (this is in English riding) the horse will turn in the direction you are pulling.


Why are reins important to use when riding a horse?

When mounted on a horse the rider controls the horse by natural aids such as gentle pressure of the legs and feet. The reins are an artificial aid and are connected to the bit within the horse's mouth. This allows further communication with the horse in order to maintain control.
