Best Answer

Bearing reins, used while driving, keep the horse from lowering it's head. A horse uses it's head for balance, without the ability for the horse to get it's head down it can slip and fall easily. It also places undue stress on the neck and back, which will cause a horse to breakdown far sooner without the bearing rein in use. To add to the problems if a horse cannot get it's head down below the level of it's shoulder it cannot clear it's airways of dust and debris which can cause lung infections and pneumonia.
