(aka: Neck Rein)<\/p>\n<p>This has to be taught as a cue through repetition.<\/p>\n<p>And here&#8217;s a little tidbit you should know.<\/p>\n<p>It takes, roughly, 300-400 repetitions for<br \/>\na horse to learn a cue.\u00a0 And about 300-400 more to<br \/>\nget good at that cue.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Next is the Direct Rein of Opposition.<\/p>\n<p>Here you take one rein straight back to<br \/>\nyour hip.<\/p>\n<p>Pulling both reins back directly opposes<br \/>\nthe horse&#8217;s forward motion.<\/p>\n<p>This isn&#8217;t used much&#8230;especially in the<br \/>\nbeginning.<\/p>\n<p>This is used mostly to flex at the poll<br \/>\nand for collection.<\/p>\n<p>And you should know this is not effective<br \/>\nin controlling your horse.\u00a0 It&#8217;s mostly for<br \/>\ncommunication and should be applied lightly.<\/p>\n<p>Next is the indirect rein of opposition.<\/p>\n<p>This is where you take the rein across the<br \/>\nsaddle horn to your opposite shoulder.\u00a0 Thus, pick<br \/>\nup the right rein and point it to the left shoulder.<\/p>\n<p>Now as you get your horse to go through<br \/>\n&#8220;Zone&#8221; exercises, you&#8217;ll be using these Rein Effects.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Zone one is simply walking<br \/>\nin a circle.\u00a0 You&#8217;ll use your inside rein and leg.<\/p>\n<p>Walk about a 12 to 15&#8242; circle.\u00a0 Be able to<br \/>\nsee the horse&#8217;s eye.\u00a0 You don&#8217;t need to see the<br \/>\nwhole eye.. just be able to see it.<\/p>\n<p>You want your horse going in a circle like<br \/>\na train does on a track &#8211; bent.<\/p>\n<p>Your inside leg is full of life with<br \/>\ntouches and releases and life in the hand.<\/p>\n<p>Your outside leg is &#8220;Off&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Use lots of soft touches and releases to<br \/>\nkeep your horse going in a circle.<\/p>\n<p>You must first teach this at a walk.<\/p>\n<p>Once mastered in the walk, then you can<br \/>\ngo to a trot and eventually the lope.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, your horse will flex toward<br \/>\nyour leg.\u00a0 If you touch the horse on the side<br \/>\nwith your leg, he should look that way and bend<br \/>\nhis rib cage away from your leg.<\/p>\n<p>In a nutshell, that&#8217;s Zone one exercise.<\/p>\n<p>There are several others, but you get the<br \/>\nidea.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more, click on the<br \/>\nfollowing:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Remember what Ray Hunt said.<\/p>\n<p>The first thing you need to know is the<br \/>\nlast thing you find out.<\/p>\n<p>If you don&#8217;t know how to do this, you<br \/>\nshould make the effort to know now because you<br \/>\nwill eliminate a LOT of frustration.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/horsetrainingresources.com\/dvd-samburrell.html\" title=\"Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Get Your Sam Burrell DVD HERE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s it for today &#8212;\u00a0 stay safe around your horses!<\/p>\n<p>P.S.
