Long-Reining (DVD)

Work from the ground allows the handler to observe and correct the horse's way of going without the encumbrance of a rider. This enables the horse to find his own balance and rhythm, and become more supple.

• Equipment: types of reins and whips
• Starting a horse in long reins for the first time
• Long reining the driving horse
• Work from behind, as well as on the circle
• Work over cavalletti and progressing to jumping a single fence
• Reschooling difficult or problem horses
• Collection in double reins
• Developing piaffe and passage

This is an absolutely necessary schooling DVD for anyone who wants to train her horse in long reins.
