Professional "Soft Hand Training" Reins Designed especially for the
serious horseman and developed exclusively by These new soft, pliable reins has the
breaking strength up to 9,000 Lb. These new reins are the best on the market for starting that new youngster! No one on earth knows just how much pain a horse can stand, except the horse. Instead of line driving your young horse and pulling on his mouth, inflecting pain, let him train himself. These reins will build a very sensitive mouth on your horse for power steering and power brakes. Excellent for Western Pleasure horses, Trail horses, Hunter & Jumper horses, Race horses, Roping horses, Team Penning horses, Dressage horses and many others. These reins have proven to be effective from wild mustangs to the two year old race horse. David has used these reins for several years and they do not rub or chap the horse like rope does. These reins are made of soft 1 inch nylon with round edges and are 8 feet long with leather ends.
Attach reins by inserting the looped end through the ring in the bit and then run the leather end through the looped end of the reins. 1. Use a medium to fat snaffle bit on your bridle. Then, place the bridle and bit on your horse with the reins hanging down in front of the horse. Once the bridle is in place, run the left rein through the horse’s front legs bringing it out behind the horse’s left elbow. Then run the rein up the horse’s left side and lay it over the back. Do the right rein the same way on the right side and tie a knot on the back just behind the withers. 2. The first time using the training reins, be careful not to over tighten. Make sure the horse has enough slack so the head can come up high. Have just enough tension on the reins so the horse can feel a little pressure on his mouth without rearing. Do not proceed to the next step until the horse has stopped fighting and becomes comfortable with the bit. Work the horse both directions in the round pen at a walk, trot and then canter. It is not uncommon for the horse to pull at the bit while cantering. Allow the horse to stop several times for him to drop his head. The horse must move forward into the bit.
3. After the horse has become comfortable with the bit take up 4- 6 inches of slack and tighten the knot. Again, work the horse in both directions in the round pen at the walk, trot and canter. Do not proceed to the next step until the horse has stopped fighting and becomes comfortable with the bit. Allow the horse to stop several times to enable him to drop his head.
4. Repeat step 3 as often as needed until your reach the desired head set.
It is important to remember, take each step slowly and give your horse plenty of time to adjust to the pressure in his mouth. The horse is the only one who knows how much pain he can take, so let him tell you when he is ready to move forward. He will do this by dropping his head. After your horse has reached the desired head set and introduced to the saddle, you can tie the reins to the stirrups. Simply the weight of the stirrups will be enough pressure on the horses mouth to bring his head into proper frame.
