A bearing rein is actually a strap that holds a horses head up, completely different from the actual reins used to steer. I don't see one here. Gorgeous horses btw. -3

@harrison98x No offense taken, these are not even my horses just passing in a rainy day parade. I wasn't sure what bearing rein was supposed to mean, now I think you mean just an overly-tight rein.

this is mean a bearing rein (tight rein) shortens a horses life because it put pressure on their windpipe

@harrison98x What do you mean by a bearing rein? These reins are straight with no slack, as they should be. I agree with you on my Haflingers video, where those teams are wearing overchecks-- I don't believe in using overchecks myself-- but there are no overchecks on these Belgians. And I would say the driver's rein tension is just what you would want in these conditions (a parade), I do see them able to relax their heads down a little. Plus he does loosen the reins when they are standing.
