“I Wish I Would’ve Known That!”
Ray Hunt, a famous and very respected
horseman, once said,
“The first thing you need to know
is the last thing you’ll find out”
Has that ever happened in your life?
In those times it did happen, don’t you
wish would’ve known them…immediately?!
And in the horse world, Ray Hunt’s
saying is especially applicable.
Here’s a for instance.
Do you know any of the Rein Effects?
A rein effect is how you use a rein
on your horse and how it affects his behavior.
For example, let’s talk about the
Direct Rein of Opposition.
Sounds like a big, snazzy name, right?
Truth is, it’s a horseman’s term for
describing how to use a rein on a horse
to get a desired result.
A ‘good’ trainer will explain to you
what the ‘Direct Rein Of Opposition’
means before he works with you and
your horse.
He might say something like this,
‘Take one rein straight back to your hip.
If you pull both reins back, you ‘directly oppose’
the horse’s forward motion.’
So if you’re riding your horse and he’s
coaching you, the trainer may say
‘Use your Direct Rein Of Opposition.’
And you’ll know what to do.
He would go further to explain you don’t want
to use this much (especially in the beginning)
because it’s used mostly for flexing at
the poll and collection.
He’d also tell you it’s not too effective
for controlling a horse and that it’s really
only for communication and should be applied lightly.
The point is this.
Learn the vocabulary of this horse thing
so you know what people mean when they say it.
That’s the first lesson.

Second, know what effects the reins have
when used in certain ways.
Third, learn different exercises you can do
with your horse using the different rein effects.
That way, you can get your horse doing
incredible things in a relatively short time.
Thus, you’d not only learn the
Direct Rein of Opposition, but also the
Indirect Rein of Opposition,
the Direct Rein,
and the Indirect Rein.
Combining them with certain ‘Zone’ exercises
will help you turn your horse into a obedient,
quiet, calm, cooperative, nice horse.
How?
You’ll be able to direct their movements.
When you direct a horse’s movements, that’s
when you are most able to make the biggest
change in their brain.
I should also say, controlling your horse’s
movements begins on the ground and the respect
from that transfers to the saddle.
Anyway, I know the rein effects I listed may
sound a bit overwhelming, but it’s not hard to do.
Sam Burrell has a great video on how
to do this if this is something that interests you.

This brings me back to what Ray Hunt said.
The first thing you need to know is the last
thing you find out.
These rein effects are definitely one of the first
things horse owners should know because it makes
profound differences in the horse and the
horse’s owner (you).
That’s it for now – stay safe out there.
