Thank you! I wasn't sure if the comments all posted, so apologies if you saw many responses! My marketing director actually broke her wrist when a horse ran away and she went for the one-rein stop. She had a huge laceration in her hand from attempting the stop, but she didn't know the pulley rein yet. It was the turn--once the horse finally responded to the cue-- that threw her. It's much easier to keep your balance with the pulley rein. She makes sure I talk and teach this rein aid now!
can someone explain to me how this is better than a one rein stop? where you bend the horse, disengage the hindquarters which also works on softening up the horse? Vs...teaching the horse to brace and think UP for possible rearing? Sorry, I don't mean to be rude, but I just don't get it.

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question. I'm glad you didn't take offense. ;-)
It's clear to me now as to why you chose this method over the ORS lateral bend.
