Start neck Kidney - First Steps It is important to understand what works and why, otherwise it is easy to find trash. With horses you can never be easy until the formation of a young horse that they will actually do.
With neck reining it re a number of methods to train a horse by the bridle, but a true work horse reining in nothing but the tail neck strap, and techniques of training required to build this sense . The process of teaching a horse to bridle consists of three separate but related. There is the pre-signal, a signal and, if necessary, a executioner.
Initially, there is nothing in any setting the rein of the horse that requires him to do something, let alone move, and if it should be taught through repetition, which is the single biggest key to get a good horse for nothing. Repetition is to explain something to the horse day after day after day when he became really good at it. It has been estimated that it takes 300-400 repetitions to learn a horse for a clue.
So, to teach neck reining, first you start with the horse still and follow this process in three stages. First, put the bridle on the horse's neck (pre-cue), take note of whether or not he looks in the direction you ask. Remember that if the horse does not look in the direction you ask the flange, then it will not slow down the neck, they need t watch where they go.
If the horse fails to look in the direction you then ask to take your legs in and brush her side (the tail), and we hope that the horse will turn to the side you brushed as if someone tapping on the shoulder. If this fails to get the horse to watch then take the reins and to pull the head this way (The Enforcer). When they look, then release the reins. Thus, the rein is the pre-cue, essentially saying "we are on the verge of doing something" and the attraction of the flange is the executor, the message was clear the horse what you want. Now straighten the horse and repeat.
Just continue to repeat and watch the horse learns to respond to your pre-cue. Remember, repetition, repetition, repetition, that all it takes.
