Do you use auxiliary reins?

…If so, which ones and for what?

If not, what are your reasons? Did you ride with them before?

Personally, I have never ridden with any kind of side reins and have always had the attitude that they are something for professionals and that they don't need them, but I am happy to listen to other opinions.

Hi Gyzmomolito935,

I personally do not use it during longing or riding, except for the martingale that I use during jumping lessons.

Otherwise, auxiliary trains (or extensions) are to support horse starters. As a beginner, one is of course not properly balanced, the horse cannot ride in correct direction and has no good seat. Auxiliary trains should help to feel the right seat and learn. Because if the horse is limited at the front by the auxiliary train, the rider can only concentrate on the seat. In the best case, the auxiliary hoist should still help the horse to bend the back and drop the neck.

However, the auxiliary trains also have considerable disadvantages and should therefore be used only for beginners. Thus, on the one hand, no forward downward stretching is possible, whereby the horse comes behind the perpendiculars and rolls in, on the other hand, some auxiliary trains lead to the bounce, whereby the horse comes on the forehand.

It should be noted, however, that: In the Vienna Riding School (also in this regard) the riders are still considered “beginners” if they can ride significantly better than the average rider can ever learn in life.
I was in behind the scenes, but the work there was very transparent for decades. Hardly imagined that these wonderful stallions come “to the forehand”.

You always have to know what to do – with or without auxiliary trains you can do something good or bad…

Ch has a different attitude, but after 8 years there is no desire to discuss it here at GF.I find the use of auxiliary trains quite helpful in several situations.

If you're here to discuss, you have to put the question in the corresponding category and don't roam around here.

I answered your question, “use your help.” My “Yes” answers this question! Even if I didn't make this more detailed.

Maybe you have to be a bit more careful with old people… the person is more than a hundred years after profile.

No, I don't see any positive sense in this anatomically and from the trainee effect. Over the years have often explained enough – as others have – why, why. In the meantime, there are sooo many good explanations on the net, at insta, Facebook, Youtube and Co, that you can easily work out.

I actually only had them on a horse I was riding at that time. However, not long, this horse was tied up for the whip students due to various problems until you finally took the time to work again from scratch. There's no need for it.

I don't even use any more connectors. They were recommended to me for my horse as my beginning, as on the racetrack, always like a giraffe has run in the train. Head stretched to Timbuktu. After some co-authors had worked me forever, I even tried it. I was sorry for the horse. Although it ran with a slightly lowered head, it was obviously leaning against it and was just braced. The connectors were still relatively loose. The testimony of a competitor was "This shows the horse the way to the depth and forward downwards". I didn't notice that. However, I had an insulted and totally tense horse standing in front of me.

So, as my horse just shoots past the target, the parts have been lying unused with me for months. We have now also managed without a tie, it runs on the lunge now, after only a few months, like any other horse. I don't want to thunder in principle against runners.

Draw reins only belong in hands of professionals, and they don't need any. I'm right.

I think it's sensitive to find runners, especially for starters. It makes them easier. focus on yourself.

I use myself to jump a front tool.

I myself didn't use any ties at the time, I learned to ride on a Shetty where the neck was too short to hang on something.

In order to correct/help some problems, they are helpful if you understand how to apply them correctly.
Unfortunately, this is not the case with most riders.

So yes, I use those if there is a corresponding indication.

If not, what are the motives, are you used to fight with it?

Yeah, I used it as a kid. You've been taught that way.

In the meantime, I don't use any more, I prefer correct training.

No, I never used it. There are no connectors, triangles or even loops, which are identification marks of bad riders.

Private: no

If I take lessons somewhere and the trainers want to see what they want to do on this horse: yes

Hello this always comes to the horses and the riders how well they can ride, with beginners a help train is usually recommended, it takes a few years to ride without a help train,

I ride with head straps and with more riding.

Both are not just looking pretty, but have a function.

and I'll help with riding trains.

at the so-called ready-seat, the hands of the rider are used as aids. Does that count?

LOL. that reminds me of a ride on a stubble field a few years ago. My mare wore down over a field when the left Chicago screw loosened on her headpiece and her bite fell out of her mouth. Riding halter was not present. But my voice. Fine," That's what she did.

ch got into a conflict, because the next bank as an ascent stood on 2 fields, but I was too lazy to descend, but I trusted my mare and so she went straight towards the bank. On the way, we were on her favorite subject, but she went on. And I noticed, rudimentarily reacted it also to plucking signals at the forehead belt, reaching bank, descent, rectifying damage, ascending, advanced. Go,
