to gather the reins, you take the reins in one hand and grab lower with the other hand, do this with both hands until you have collected your reins to a good length. do not just wiggle the reins through your fingers to shorten them, this is incorrect.
Eastern riding uses thinner saddles designed for jumps and dressage, these saddles give a better feel of the horse and a rider uses two hands to control the horse. Western riding is meant for ranch work, long hours in the saddle, and uses thicker saddles designed for comfort and the horses are trained to be controlled with one hand on the reigns.
Horse riders usually say 'back', or 'back boy/girl', if you are on the ground, but if you are riding, then you have to gently pull the reigns alternately, whilst kicking gently, but firmly. Most horses will do this, but you have to be careful, because it can confuse some young horses.
a riding horse is a horse you can ride. There is also a breed called Riding Pony.

According to the National Geographic series based on Diamond's "Guns, Germs and Steel", jineta is a style of horse riding from Spain that emphasizes control and maneuverability. The rider uses "bent knees to grip the side of the horse and only one hand on the reigns." It contrasted from the formal style of medieval knights. By the 16th century the jineta way of riding had become the dominant style of the Spanish cavalry. The conquistadores would have ridden their horses using this style.
