You make it look so easy! But it is HARD to keep the horse's body collected without hanging on his face. Especially a big, long-strided horse like this one. Sometimes I can only keep the collection by moving forward more than I'd really like to in a Ranch Riding pattern. If I let him slow down, he gets sloppy with his legs. If I make him slow down, he gets heavy and dull to my hands. I know it takes time and practice, but do you have any favorite exercises or tips to help a horse get through this phase of training? I just want him to STAY where I put him, without me having to work so hard.
This person knows what she is doing and will most likely achieve what she is schooling for. If you do not you understand this concept you may be disappointed with the outcome. If you over flex your horse and you are not pushing your horse forward you will make a headset. This may allow your horse run off with you. I just got a free horse because the owner didn't understand "collection" and of course she made a headset on her horse. While she was trail riding the horse decided to run home with her. The horse curled her neck, buried her nose to her chest so the bit didn't affect her, and the rider was completely out of control. These are great videos and they are really great tools for learning to ride better. Make sure that you completely understand the concept before you apply it to your horse.
Best way to teach that is while your working not in a arena. A bosalita and a get down ro0e is best. Fixing fence is great when teaching they learn to stand and wait while your doing something. In they step off just bring back and finish spot
@@andrewcameron1346 You are showing your ignorance. Bits were designed to be used for pain compliance. Do what is best for the horse. Or are you afraid you can not control a horse without a bit? Many do not use a bit and have achieved the highest level of horsemanship.
@@gerrycoleman7290 there are a whole variety of bits, specifically within the vaquero tradition (which NRCHA parodys) that offer the rider no leverage and sometimes negative leverage. Spades and ring bits are actually so mild that horses often take off with them, a testament to how light they are on a horse. Some bits are shit, but to lump every bit into that pile is ignorant.
@@johnnyflores8870 Bits are pain compliance devices. Period. Some traditions are best left behind as in the case of the use of the spade bit from the Vaquero tradition. True horsemanship would not need the bit. There are plenty of working cowboys that use rope halters or traditional hackamores or no head gear at all. You need to get out more.
Thank you for your correct clear description and demonstration. Rein management probably one of the most important skills a rider needs to develop. At our Ranch we teach Recreational Developmental Riding. Rein and Rope management starts the first session. Enjoyed your video.
Thank you great video explaining

Great video. Thx for sharing.
Many greetings from France , a delightfull video about old tradition ! I love it !
Thank you for your video, my trainer would like me to start using romel reins.
Great video
Another great video. This video shows exactly how to hold and use those reins. She is great at explaining how these reins should be used.

Great video. Excellent knowledge. Awesome hats and shirts. Subscribed!

The best bit is no bit at all. The design of a bit is for pain compliance. I will not control my horses through pain, fear, and intimidation.
Personally, I think horses themselves may not agree with you.
Tell me you’ve never trained a horse to a high level without telling me. I reckon you’d put Cytek shoes on your horse and brag about it.
