Rick Gore Horsemanship U.S. Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Rating N/A (Expert Not Accept Rating) Response Time(hr) 5.4 --Last 90 Days(hr) 10.8 Total Questions 103	Visit Rick Gore's Horse Site: www.thinklikeahorse.org --Rick is a student of the horse. I have over 200 free videos on Youtube about horses. I believe in and practice "Natural Horsemanship". I ride mainly western and don't use or promote spurs, bits, or whips. Reins are only one cue for the horse. Using the entire body helps the horse understand. I define riding as a human and horse working together for the enjoyment of both. Pain and fear should not be part of the equation. If you expect feel good advice, you will be disappointed. 95% of all my answers will include the problem is you and not your horse. About 90% of most answers that I give out are on my web site, so if you read it you will probably answer your own question and may learn a few other things. If you ask me a question that I answer on my site or video I will send your question to the question pool.

I would not know since I can't see you ride. Keeping the reins loose shows better control and more confidence and trust in your horse and makes the horse feel better, but depending on what you are doing
