Find it on the No Worries Club Website: Learning to Neck Rein

NWCfind

“Most people’s idea of neck reining is yanking the reins off to the side and trying to drag the horse in a new direction. It’s like in the old black and white movies where the cowboy reefs his horse over to shoot the bad guy. He drags the reins across his horse’s neck leaving the horse with his head stuck straight up in the air and his mouth gaped open,” Clinton says. “In reality, neck reining, when done correctly, is a higher degree of horsemanship with much finesse involved. Think of top-level reiners who can guide their horses through an intricate pattern without moving their hand from the middle of the horse’s neck.”

Clinton explains how to introduce neck reining to your horse in the 2010 spring edition of the No Worries Journal. You’ll learn how to lay the foundation of neck reining and common mistakes to avoid and how to troubleshoot problems you’re likely to come across as you’re working with your horse.
