When you plow rein you use both hands, when you pull right your horse turns right, and when you pull left your horse turns left, and when neck reining you use one hand (doesn't matter which) and with with your one hand if you pull to the right he will also go to the right but it will be your left rein that is turning him since it is making contact with his "neck" instead of his mouth
Neck reining is when you hold the reins with one hand and you pull the reins on the side of the neck you want to go. Direct reining is when you pull the rein of the side you want to go. You actually pull the horses head in the direction you want to go.
Most horses are trained to turn right with either the right rein being pulled tighter (plow reining-used mainly with English riders), or the left rein being placed on the left side of his neck (neck reining-used by western riders). Horses are also trained to turn when the outside leg is pushed against their side. Often a combination of the reins and the leg cues are used.
It depends on the discipline. If your horse is trained to neck rein, split rein will give you more freedom to move your hands and give aids. There is always the danger of dropped reins, however. In english, the difference is minimal
the Tudors rein was between 1585 and 1603
I watched an episode of neck reining on a TV program of mine. I can't really explain it, but I can give an example.For instance, if you wanted your horse to turn left, what you would do first is put pressure on the horse's neck with your right rein. So basically, neck rein it. When the horse doesn't respond, you pick up with your left rein and turn it left. Eventually, after lots of practice, when you put pressure on its neck with the right rein, the horse will automatically think, "Oh, she's about to ask me to turn left," and the horse will turn left on its own.Basically, neck reining can be achieved through patience, time, and repetition. It's best, when trying to teach your horse to do this, to have minimal distractions and the horse's attention focused on you. This helps the horse to catch on quicker.
A bearing rein is another term for a checkrein - a strap used to keep horses' heads high, which were fashionable in Victorian England but painful and damaging to a horse's neck.
To rein is to hold something back: When the horses go too fast, I rein them in.To reign is to rule: Alexander the Great reigned over most of his known world.A rein is a leather strap, or a similar (metaphorical) restriction. It's often used in the plural: Grab the reins!or I gave her free rein to do what she needed.A reign is a period of rule: Queen Elizabeth's reign has lasted almost 60 years.
Most horses are ridden by either direct-rein or neck rein. Riders in hunt seat/english or saddleseat ride by means of direct rein, meaning there is direct contact with the horses mouth by the riders hands via the rein. The rein runs straight and tight from the riders hand to the bit in the mouth with 1 or 2 pounds of pressure applied to the mouth. Rein cues are given via the increase or decrease of this pressure on one side or the other (to turn or bend) or both equally (to move forward, halt). In neck reigning, which is used in western riding, the reins are held in one hand and are very loose (think a U shape from the hands to the bit). This style of reining utilizes a curb style bit with shanks by which movement of the reins is transferred to the mouth very subtly and the rider lays the reins against the horses neck to one side or the other to direct them to turn. This is a simplified explaination as there are many subtilites associated with each style of reining.
You use your inside leg to press the horse towards the rail, and light contact or "feel" of the inside rein to keep the bend to the inside. Sometimes it may be necessary to wiggle or "play with" the inside rein to keep your horse's attention on you and not whatever is going on out side the ring. Also, you can use what is called an "indirect rein" where you pull your inside hand back to your outside hip, but, you don't want the rein to cross over the neck, because that makes it useless.
