Shires Daisy Rein-Black One Size

Product Information

Sometimes he still Roots, and when I feel him about to, I drive inside leg into outside rein, tighten my core and hold myself so he cannot jeapordize my position - and I make him work. So, lets take this as a learning experience - this mare deserves praise as well because she's teaching you - to become a more confident rider and a more determined rider. Maybe not at this point, but one day you'll see that. Grass reins can be a useful tool for controlling grazing behaviour while riding and promote good head carriage. They are an additional set of straps that are attached to the girth, pass through the bit rings and are then attached to the saddle. Balanced Support Reins are a newer type of rein with a patented design that sets them apart from daisy and grass reins.

Dismayed listening through the windows at the howling wind. He clearly has a problem with it, and if we don't get to work him tomorrow I'm then away for the whole week. I worry that whatever we achieve one day will be lost if there's a big gap. If he is pulling down very sharply, ie yanking the reins out of your daughters hands, it would be snatching - snatching the reins off her. Its a very cheeky pony maneuver! ( thats ofc since you have ruled out pain) When used correctly, daisy reins provide a gentle and consistent pressure on the horse's mouth, encouraging them to keep their head up and in a more balanced position. Overuse or misuse of daisy reins can cause discomfort and even pain for the horse. They can be a difficult adjustment for some horses.I am going to suggest, maybe riding her only when you have others with you - to help you become more confident and stronger. And, when you are alone - maybe ride another horse who is allows you to relax and just enjoy yourself?

To the part where you say you let go of the reins completely, don't do that. I know it is hard to, and I know that bad habits are hard to break. Have a martingale stop on the reins close to the bit. Ensure your daughter is wearing gloves. Start teaching it at a slow walk by having your daughter reach forward and take hold of the inside rein between the bit and the martingale stop. Then pull the ponies head round to her knee and make the pony stand for a moment. Keep practising so the pony becomes used to what your daughter is asking it to do. With the ponies head brought round to the knee your daughter has control. Pulling on two reins will never work! It takes practice but I think it is imperative that all children are taught this.Hmmm, you are right. This is definately a "you" issue - but I commend you for being upright and honest with yourself, so be proud for that! That's a good thing, because when you recognize your limitations, you can only improve from there. If you ignore your limitations, you'll never improve.
