About this deal

Confident riders use a mix of tools and techniques to communicate with their horse and guide its movements. These help them to deal with common challenges like a horse that pulls or bolts or grazing while riding. If he were leaning, ie just heavily hanging on your daughters hands, as if she is holding the whole weight of his head - its leaning and is a schooling thing for both him and her.

We still have the little monkey , she is 21 now, she is perfect on the lead rein and I drive her aswell. 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. Some people think side reins - others the daisy rein? I'm leaning more towards daisy rein as it's designed more for this (albeit in terms of them putting head down for grass, although this is happening in a grass free school!). 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. Do you have someone more "confident" who can get on your horse and help you out with this situation?Balanced Support Reins are a newer type of rein with a patented design that sets them apart from daisy and grass reins. So he pulled them again, and I didn't budge - so he had me go out on the rail, and work on that, and when Nelson rooted - I did not budge, and what happened was Nelson caught himself in the mouth.

Maree, yes I think a crupper will be necessary, he just kept pulling til I noticed the saddle had been pulled! When considering whether the daisy, grass or Balanced Support Reins are the right option for you and your horse it’s important to consider both rider and horse’s ease, comfort and what you want to achieve.

It is important to make sure your pony/horse is comfortable with this type of pressure before using them, as they do restrict the horse's natural head movement. blitznbobs, I'd assumed I was too big - he's 13.1hh (but a chunky Dartmoor), I'm 5ft 6, and more over 12 stone than I care to know about on the scales. Maybe last year before I ditched my diet it would have been ok - what do you think?? One of the benefits of using grass reins is that they are relatively easy to use. They can also be adjusted to fit different horse sizes and shapes. They are also a less severe option compared to martingales or draw reins. Grass reins provide a gentle pressure on the horse's mouth, making it easy for the rider to keep their head up and in a more balanced position. They may however not be effective for stubborn horses or those that are resistant to pressure. Please note that in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 we can only accept items returned to us for inspection if they are clean and dry, even if they are faulty.

They are designed to let the rider control the length of the reins to stop their horse from lowering its head to graze while riding, which can be dangerous. 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?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.

There could be a number of reasons as to why your horse is rooting - poor saddle fit, mouth hurts, too much hands in her face, not enough leg and too much rein, etc, etc, etc - can you eliminate the reasons as to why she is doing 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.

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) Daisy reins are useful for small children who don't have the upper body strength to outsmart cheeky ponies as they dive for grass. They can be a safety measure to put in place/if/when needed. You will also find these reins called "Anti-grazing reins" as they prevent the horse from grazing while under saddle. I would not recommend them for a horse that is grazing on the trails though. A simple lightweight nose net/muzzle is a better solution for those who love to dive for grass while out.
