Ok thank you. Was interesting learning to neck rein. Hard to ride one handed with the reins held up when you've spent years doing it the other way.
My back wasn't 100% happy (which rather buggers my legs up) but long long stirrup leathers took a lot of pressure off. Archie completely responds to neck reining and his owner doesn't use leg aids any more on him so didn't have to put any extra pressure on my legs and back. Had the leathers a bit too long though - will shorten them next time :smile:
I just don't get how people do western riding, looks awfully hard on the back. Of course, at my size, I'd be a bit hard on the horses' back. TBH, my people were horse people, but draft horses were our specialty. I think my father and I were the only two who actually rode saddlebreds. And we were a generation or two after horse farming.
