Hey im 12 and i do professional horse showing and have ridden many horses to wins at royals and stuff but i recently acquired a beautiful Galloway and she pulls on just the left rein. i have tried everything from turning the head left and right to release tension in the muscles, to giving and taking (Half halting). She takes the bit and rounds up but the she pulls not all the time but im trying to get my ridding better and this is a distraction as i catch my left and opening up (moving away from the horse) is there anything that i havent already done to help get rid of the problem?
Thanks

How much does a horse reign set cost?
It depends on what kind (the correct spelling is rein instead of reign) There are many types. There is a braided split reins, reins with rawhide braid, bitless bridle reins, a horse nylon headstall reins, rubber lined reins, camelot web reins, a barrel reins with rubber grip etc. etc.
Why do cross country riders pull on the reins so much?
In order to have proper communication for collected work, you need to have contact with the horse's mouth. The reins should not be 'tight', actually the connection should be a very light one but the reins should not be hanging loose either. If the horse is moving correctly and is truly obedient and in harmony with his rider, then he should accept contact on the reins without sticking his nose in the air, ducking his nose behind the contact, or otherwise resisting. He should move forward confidently and happily and work in harmony with his rider, using the contact as an aid rather than getting defensive against it.

It depends on the horse and the teen. If the horse is needs an experienced rider then a teen with much experience will feel at home on that particular horse. Reguardless of age, experience and temperment (horse and rider both) are what's important.

How much force does a horse exert when pulling a cart?

Do bits hurt horses?
It is very difficult to not inflict some level of pain to a horse when they have a bit, because the bit relies on pain to make a horse do stuff. If you ever do much more than take the slack out of the reins, you are going to cause the horse some level of discomfort. If you try to pull a horse to the left right or to a stop with the reins, you are going to hurt him, and if you ever yank on the reins in frustration, the amount of pain is unbelieveable, because a horses mouth is so sensitive. Bits on their own do not hurt horses, but when operated by a human, there has probably for every horse been some time when pain was inflicted on them by the bit.
Can a 5'5 woman fit on a 14.3 horse?
Absolutely. 5'5" is generally a fairly good size of rider for a 14.3hh horse. I am 5'9" and can safely ride small horses and large ponies. BUT it depends on the size of the rider and the condition of the horse.If a rider is 5'5" but weighs 200 lbs, then you would NOT want that rider on a small horse. As long as the rider is fairly fit and their weight is fairly proportional to their height (even if they are a little overweight) then it is safe for a rider who is 5'5" to ride a 14.3hh horse.The other factor to take into account is the condition of the horse. ANY horse, no matter what size or shape, is not suitable to be ridden by ANY rider if it is lame, sick, or simply too old and frail. Even if a rider is a good size proportionally for a particular horse, a horse that is older with stiffer joints or one with bad feet may do better with a much lighter/smaller rider.Choosing an appropriate horse-rider combination is up to the owner and/or trainer. If a rider is 5'5" and of proportional body weight, and the horse who is 14.3hh is fit and of an appropriate riding level for the level of the rider, then the match is safe :-)
What is the definintion of a roping horse?
A roping horse has the job of running after the cow or steer keeping in the perfect position for the rider/riders to lasso the steer's horns. This can be done with a single horse/rider or 2 horse/rider teams known as team roping or more commonly 'heading and heeling'. With the 2 horse/rider teams, and the reason it's called 'heading and heeling' the steer comes out of the chute followed by the first horse/rider and then the delayed follow by the 2nd team. The first rider has to catch the horns (heading). Within a couple of seconds the 2nd rider has to rope at least one hind leg (heeling). The horses have to be as well trained as the ropers themselves and it is a difficult and demanding sport. But it is so much fun to watch. Like with most things, the horse/rider teams that are really good make it look easy.
How long does it take to become a perfect horse rider?
No one is a perfect horse rider and it takes quite a few years to become a good one depending on how much you ride. It took me about 5 years to get really good though I don't have much time to ride.
What are the physical parts of barrel racing?
Physical parts? Im guessing you mean what do you have to do in barrels racing? Well for the rider- balance. This means that you can keep in the middle of your horse ( as much as people love sitting up when they barrel race its actually throwing your horse off) another part is leg pressure on your horse. Just dont use your reins- use your legs on the horse to emphisize the turn- it actually keeps the horses mouth healthier too! if anyone else has anything else to add please do!
How do you make a horse go?
You can make a horse "go" by sitting up straight on the saddle, holding the reins tight but not too much, then give the horse a slight nudge on their belly with your feet and move your body with the horses. If you wish to go faster, nudge his belly more but gently.
