Learning Horse rein control by Practice - Soft Hands Exercise- Rick Gore Horsemanship

http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/ -

It may not be exciting but it will make you better and than makes it better for your horse. Training your hands to be soft and smooth will help you give clear and concise direction to your horse. Once you get good at soft hands, then you can work on other areas needed to help the horse, like legs, body, balance, center and all the other things that go into being a good horseman. As I say: When you get better, your horse gets better - since the horse is only a reflection of the person handling it.

I talk about my other video on soft hands, here is the link to that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rk9pQOKnK0 -

As for the black thing on my shirt collar, it is Kittie hair, I just got done grooming my Kittie and some hair stuck to my shirt that is why it moves from my shoulder to center during this video. Just trying to cut off of the complaints about how my shirt was dirty since some people just watch these videos to complain about something.

I totally think women over react. Don't take what someone says so literally and feel the need to pick it apart. You aren't here for compliments, you're here to better yourself for your horse! I'm a female, and I'm damn glad to hear someone say this to everyone out there! You may be called an "ass" or "sexist" but I get called plenty of other things myself, and I'm the same gender as them!

i usually let my rains get too long and when something happens it takes too long to respond becouse my rains were too long..

we usually use 2 seperate rains..

For anyone interested, a double/tripple looped/braided military 550 cord will also work for this if you're short on money/material as far as practicing goes.

rick just saying, not arguing i agree with you about the holding the reins by there sides, but there are a lot of people that i know that ride that ride like but can get the muscle they need, the only reason is because they go to the gym and do workouts where you pull the weight behind you in that motion so our muscles are pretty big i dont like riding like that because its uncomfortable, again not arguing just saying

[asdl805]

do you ever ride with the split reins or do you tie up your rope for reins always? not hate just wondering 

[lorrainewands]

Yay! Finally, PRECISELY what I needed!

[DarkHorseDream]

@Andrea9514 wow. that's ignorant on several levels

[Andrea9514]

This is irrelevant but the other day I was at the library reading a horse health book just killing time before work, and I read this one page about reducing stress in your horse, and there was this one paragraph about some horses "being bullies because they are insecure and don't have any friends". I couldn't help but laugh my ass off, and then everyone gave me a death stare for being loud, so I left. There should be a law restricting stupid people from getting their stupid books published
