What is long reining?
Long reining is a versatile and valuable training technique for horses of all levels, from novice to advanced.
It extends beyond basic groundwork, allowing the handler to communicate with the horse at a greater distance, mimicking the feeling of riding without the rider's weight. This method is excellent for introducing young horses to the concept of contact, lateral movements, and engagement.​
Skilled long reining can also enhance the performance of established riding/driving horses, improving their suppleness, engagement and overall athletic ability through targeted exercises and nuanced communication.
