Shires Daisy Rein-Black One Size

Product Information

Sometimes he still Roots, and when I feel him about to, I drive inside leg into outside rein, tighten my core and hold myself so he cannot jeapordize my position - and I make him work.

If he were leaning, ie just heavily hanging on your daughters hands, as if she is holding the whole weight of his head - its leaning and is a schooling thing for both him and her. Please note that in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 we can only accept items returned to us for inspection if they are clean and dry, even if they are faulty. So he pulled them again, and I didn't budge - so he had me go out on the rail, and work on that, and when Nelson rooted - I did not budge, and what happened was Nelson caught himself in the mouth. For an experienced rider who wants to correct grazing the daisy or grass reins will provide an adequate solution. For the novice rider, someone with a weaker grip or for an enhanced comfort experience and for both horse and rider the Balanced Support Reins offer a step up from these two options. Hmmm, you are right. This is definately a "you" issue - but I commend you for being upright and honest with yourself, so be proud for that! That's a good thing, because when you recognize your limitations, you can only improve from there. If you ignore your limitations, you'll never improve.

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* Maree, yes I think a crupper will be necessary, he just kept pulling til I noticed the saddle had been pulled! 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. I am going to suggest, maybe riding her only when you have others with you - to help you become more confident and stronger. And, when you are alone - maybe ride another horse who is allows you to relax and just enjoy yourself? Confident riders use a mix of tools and techniques to communicate with their horse and guide its movements. These help them to deal with common challenges like a horse that pulls or bolts or grazing while riding.

Daisy reins are useful for small children who don't have the upper body strength to outsmart cheeky ponies as they dive for grass. They can be a safety measure to put in place/if/when needed. Have a martingale stop on the reins close to the bit. Ensure your daughter is wearing gloves. Start teaching it at a slow walk by having your daughter reach forward and take hold of the inside rein between the bit and the martingale stop. Then pull the ponies head round to her knee and make the pony stand for a moment. Keep practising so the pony becomes used to what your daughter is asking it to do. With the ponies head brought round to the knee your daughter has control. Pulling on two reins will never work! It takes practice but I think it is imperative that all children are taught this. Before you do that though, best to see if there is any other reason why he is snatching. If you have ruled out all pain, and everything fits, see if he would be more comfortable in a different bit or nose band ( what is he in currently?). Then get a really good instructor to watch your daughter ride him and see if she is causing him to object in this way for some reason. 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. There could be a number of reasons as to why your horse is rooting - poor saddle fit, mouth hurts, too much hands in her face, not enough leg and too much rein, etc, etc, etc - can you eliminate the reasons as to why she is doing this?Some people think side reins - others the daisy rein? I'm leaning more towards daisy rein as it's designed more for this (albeit in terms of them putting head down for grass, although this is happening in a grass free school!).

One of the benefits of using grass reins is that they are relatively easy to use. 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.

Maybe last year before I ditched my diet it would have been ok - what do you think?? 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.I suggest that you also look at a bit that will enable a 'one rein stop' safely without pulling the rings through the ponies mouth. Either a full cheek or tom thumb snaffle or french link. 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. Do you have someone more "confident" who can get on your horse and help you out with this situation?
