Long Reining

“Long Reining is so much fun that it is easy to get

hooked on it. It trains the rider's eyes and tact by

adding a visual impression to the sense of touch and vice versa.”

Dr. Thomas Ritter



It is no wonder that more and more riders are discovering the old tradition of

long reining for themselves. It helps the horse to improve his balance and

ability to collect without the weight of the rider, and it lends itself well to

training difficult movements in a horse friendly manner. Dr. Thomas Ritter

explains the correct aids from the beginning through Haute École in practical terms. Thanks to the discussion of frequent mistakes and their corrections, long reining novices and experienced trainers alike can find much new information here.
