Next Show Date: February 11th at 7PM

I often get a lot of questions about how to use the reins. In addition, there are a lot of ideas out there about what exactly the reins are for. Are they to control? Steer? Stop? Pick up a shoulder? Bend? Straighten? Neck rein?

Or here's one...do you even need them? And if so, when?

Who knew there were so many ideas! Here's a thought: none of those ideas are technically correct.

In this show, we're going to explore, from a bio-mechanical and psycological perspective, what EXACTLY the rein does. I'll give you some examples on video, and some exercises you can go and try.

When we have a solid idea of why and how something works, we can use it in a much more supportive and comprehensive way. And your horse will love you for it!

Teaching a style of horsemanship that is grounded in practical application, Scott creates positive and enjoyable scenarios that foster connections between horses and riders. “If I could describe my job, it would probably be titled, ‘Equine Relationship Facilitator,’” he says.
