still not clear -- how does one actually use the romel, and what for? reining with one had is possible with ordinary reins but the romel -- what's its function?
Estás riendas son MUY Mexicanas. Es una de las muchas invenciones ecuestres Mexicanas. Las “bolas” que están en la parte de la rienda no en el ramal, no es tanto para protección del sudor como erróneamente dice este gringo en el vídeo. Esas “bolas” en las riendas son para dar señales a el caballo cuando el jinete mueve la rienda para anticipar el movimiento que se le pide al caballo antes de que la señal llegue a el freno para que no se use tanto el freno y el caballo entienda por otras señales como esta y no necesariamente con el puro freno. Lo que si es cierto es que el ramal de la rienda te puede ayudar o hacer las veces de chicota/cuarta o azote para apurar o arrear a el caballo o las reses.
@petebowling4717 Avila does not necessarily follow the Californio tradition. But my point is that Texans seem to co-opt all the California traditions and events.
If you are going to tell people how to use ROMAL reins, do it right. The ONLY class there is a penalty when using ROMAL reins properly in an AQHA class is in the reining. The reined work portion of the cow horse class is exempt from the reining rule.
That rider really bothers me. I wish he would lower his stirrups. His legs look cramped and his heels are stuffed downward. This doesn't make for a balanced ride.
It's important to have your stirrups quite short when riding cow horses so you can balance off the stirrups without putting much weight in them and also balance with abdominal muscles while having hips free. It may be hard to imagine until you try it, and it's a lot of fun, and something everyone who rides might like to try! It makes for a very balanced ride which is necessary for the quick, powerful turns and stops involved in riding cow horses.
Thank you verry much Mr.Moreland! I watch you fom black forest, in Germany.
You're welcome! I'm glad you like the videos!

Gosh! I’m glad I was not the only one that thought his stirrups are too short.
