This is something I see very regularly.
Riders book me because they think it’s a bitting issue. My observations will often very quickly determine that it’s not.
Using Equitation Science International - ESI principles, I’ll show you how to help your horse give the correct answer to rein pressure!
I think of it like this -
The horse doesn’t know the correct answer to rein pressure.
If you don’t know how to juggle, changing from oranges to lemons doesn’t improve your juggling.
Just as changing bits doesn’t improve your horses understanding of the aids.
The correct responses must be trained, but the good news??!! It’s super easy and EVERYONE can do it!
