- This type of reining, which is more common in Western riding, is used with a horse that is trained to respond to the feeling of the reins on its neck.
- Neck reining requires the use of only one hand since the reins are tied in a knot, and move as one. This makes reining particularly useful since it makes things like opening gates without dismounting, carrying something, or swishing away flies while trail riding easier.
- To steer to the right, move the reins together slightly to the right. This will cause the left rein to fall against the horse’s neck. Once the horse feels this in its left neck, it will turn away from the feeling of the reins on its neck, and turn towards its right.
- To steer to the left, just apply the same instructions towards the opposite direction.
