Joe Midgley talks about teaching a horse to be ridden from two hands to one. Social Media: Facebook - / joemidgleyhorsemanship Instagram - @JMHorsemanship Website: www.joemidgleyhorsemanship.co.uk/
Love your thought process here. Reminds me very much of the traditional way to bring along a horse: snaffle first, then curb, focused on the horse and his thorough understanding rather than quick results.

Omg, so many whingers in the comments about the bit he is using. It's not like he is doing dressage where he is keeping constant contact. He is using very light hands

The main issue with reining is that doesn't make sense to have the horse with his head down all the time. It's not natural. The bit if used correctly doesn't hurt the horse I agree.
@@ShinLeeChan it is natural and the best headset as it makes the back lift to better support the rider. Long and low is the best for young and green horses, even in dressage we only ask them to lift off the forehand once we can ask them to push from the hind and step under better.
@@spannerclyde6832 Oh I didn't know that it was best for support. Glad to learn new things. I've always thought that was forced for just show him as submissive and things like that. :) Thanks for the explanation.

very helpful, you explain the movements of your body and hands very well. thanks, can't wait to try this. It explained some of the problems I was having.
hello, I'm retiring an OTTB . ive been galloping him in a fixed ring bit, I liked it because it doesnt break in the middle, he likes it too. He also like to hang his toung out, would like to put him in low/med. curb, not sure what to go with, I have never riden with a shank bit. ( Jockey )
Maybe I need just more basic training, but a few times when you say "leg" there near the end, I don't know which leg or how. I'll watch the video over some more and try and get it

What do you do when your 8 year old horse dose not care and doesn’t listen when you have been trying to get him to neck rein for days I’m trying to get Into barrels but no matter how much I work with him he doesn’t seem to care what I tell him
I am going to teach this to the horse I ride because I want to ride her western and I need some help I don't know my saddle size for western I have been riding in a saddle that is too big for me I am 5'1 and I have only ridden English when I took lessons for western the saddle where either too small or too big It sucks being short
I'd suggest a 15' its also very much weight and body confirmation based. Like I'm 5'2 and 110-120lbs so I ride in 15-16 (it's all in my rear end unfortunately). Good luck! I hope you enjoy western ❤
Single rein or plow reining (we call it in the West) ain't cool for a lot of reasons - even though Parelli , a big name trainer, teaches it. A good way to initiate a young horse to neck reining is: simply cross your reins- right rein under and up left side and opposite with other. Neck rein that way a while, then don't cross them and done. Works every time.
R.C. Steffensen - the problem there is that you never train the cue that way, and there will always have to be more pressure than I’d like. Plus, a lot of people want to start training this on young horses, having the rein under the neck with those horses is nothing but dangerous
@@welseyverdin5519 while you're right they don't NEED one, that doesn't give you the right to call someone names because they ride differently from you. Some people GENUINELY have soft hands. I myself barely use a bit. I only have them in a bit when reining and even then I have them trained sheerly off of leg cues so there's no need for it 🤷♀️
