How do I get a horses head down when riding With any pressure on the reins she sticks her nose out. How do I stop this?
Try see-sawing gently with the reins, applying gentle pressure on each rein, holding for about a second each, and be sure to squeeze your legs gently as well to keep your mare going. Also, it really helps if, before riding, on the horse, (at a halt) you grab the rein somewhat close to the bit and pull her head around so her nose touches your boot. She will probably circle for a while but if you keep the pressure she will eventually stop. Reach down and pet her head, then release. Do the same to the other side. Then try to get her to bend her head (get on the bit) at halt, walk, trot, and canter. Hope this helps! -Andalusiangirl

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.
