re: #233 BeenHereAwhile

I always preferred a bridle with loop reins, over long reins.

The only advantage I know of with long reins is that if you need to get off your horse while out in the pasture, to fix the fence, open and close a gate, take a leak, etc; is that cow horses are trained to stay put if you drop the long reins on the ground below their head.

They may nibble some grass, but will stand there and not wander off until you take the reins in your hand.

guess where you neck rein?……at the neck
more than a foot or so longer past your hand is largely unnecessary

these people have seen too many westerns (their ‘research’)
you think they know what leg cues are?
