The inside rein is the giver! Release as soon as you get some desired response from your horse - whether you wanted flexion or better rounding. The release can be from your elbows or shoulders. Push the reins forward without letting the reins slide through your fingers.

What does the inside rein do?
The inside rein can have two functions: The first is that through the use of the riders inside hand, the rein can have a direct influence on the head of the horse, which we call direct rein. The second possibility is that by touching the horse on the neck, by moving the rein sideways, we move the horses shoulders out.
What does inside leg outside rein do?
The action of "inside leg to outside rein" is meant to create and then maintain bend, without running forward or drifting out. In theory, the horse should respond to your active inside leg by moving away from your leg (in the rib cage area), thereby stepping out toward your outside rein.
What is the function of rein?
Reins are items of horse tack, used to direct a horse or other animal used for riding. They are long straps that can be made of leather, nylon, metal, or other materials, and attach to a bridle via either its bit or its noseband.
How do you stop a horse without reins?
Instead, learn to stop your horse with voice and seat cues and without needing to pull on the reins. Use your voice and seat as stopping cues to help your horse understand that you want to slow down.
Which leg do you use to turn a horse?
Turn right by applying your left leg slightly forward with no contact with your inside leg. The inside leg is the direction you wish to turn. The outside leg applies pressure to turn in the opposite direction and shifts your weight in the saddle to this leg. Horses move off, or away, from pressure in a turn.
Which rein do you half halt with?
On any bent line or movement with bend, the horse's inside hind leg naturally carries the most weight. To balance the horse so he engages and carries equal weight with each hind leg, the rider half halts with the outside rein.
Why do horses hang left?
hanging heavy on the rein on one side is most very likely to be due to stiffness in his body. You may have him "yield" from one side to the other, but if he moves his hind or fore over while holding that stiffness in his body, then nothing is really changed.
What are Romel reins?
A Romal Rein is a closed rein composed of two distinct parts: the reins and the romal. The reins are attached to the bit with rawhide or leather loops, snaps, or rein chains. They make up approximately half the length of the entire piece of equipment.
Can reins be used as whips?
Stay with us here, like a steering wheel is used to drive a car, the reins are used to “drive” the horse. Thanks for coming to our TED talk. However, you can use the reins as a whip. If any of the videos are real, one clip might appear that way.
Does the bridle hurt the horse?
A great deal of pain can be inflicted on a horse by the improper use of a bit or a bitless bridle. Even a simple side-pull can cause pain and damage if used improperly. Bitless bridles with long shanks can be quite painful if the rider does not know how to use them effectively.
