Using A Neck Rope While Riding - Oct 2021
A Yummy Connection With Reins
•
19m
Karen rides Solana and demonstrates how she uses a neck rope during dressage in order to create more lightness of the front end, or a taller neck. She will explain how a neck rope could be used also for basic stopping and turning, but in this video she uses it in a more refined way. This video is great for anyone who feels like their horse carries their neck too low, or you need to use your reins too often and want a way to talk to the front end without creating tension in the reins or contraction in the neck.
