Shires Daisy Rein-Black One Size

Product Information

To the part where you say you let go of the reins completely, don't do that. I know it is hard to, and I know that bad habits are hard to break.

When used correctly, daisy reins provide a gentle and consistent pressure on the horse's mouth, encouraging them to keep their head up and in a more balanced position. Overuse or misuse of daisy reins can cause discomfort and even pain for the horse. They can be a difficult adjustment for some horses. blitznbobs, I'd assumed I was too big - he's 13.1hh (but a chunky Dartmoor), I'm 5ft 6, and more over 12 stone than I care to know about on the scales.

They can also be adjusted to fit different horse sizes and shapes. They are also a less severe option compared to martingales or draw reins. Grass reins provide a gentle pressure on the horse's mouth, making it easy for the rider to keep their head up and in a more balanced position. They may however not be effective for stubborn horses or those that are resistant to pressure.

Dismayed listening through the windows at the howling wind. He clearly has a problem with it, and if we don't get to work him tomorrow I'm then away for the whole week. I worry that whatever we achieve one day will be lost if there's a big gap. So, lets take this as a learning experience - this mare deserves praise as well because she's teaching you - to become a more confident rider and a more determined rider. Maybe not at this point, but one day you'll see that.

If he is pulling down very sharply, ie yanking the reins out of your daughters hands, it would be snatching - snatching the reins off her. Its a very cheeky pony maneuver! ( thats ofc since you have ruled out pain)

He corrected me again, and said to make sure my elbows stay at my side, with my thumb and index fingers holding the reins tightly *with a loose and relaxed middle finger, ring finger and pinky finger* When considering whether the daisy, grass or Balanced Support Reins are the right option for you and your horse it’s important to consider both rider and horse’s ease, comfort and what you want to achieve.
