This exercise loosens up your arms and hands while teaching you to rely more on your legs than your reins to turn your horse. Go to a home-supply store to find... cotton laundry line a little thicker than a typical clothesline. Buy enough to match the length of your reins, plus another 8 to 10 inches to accommodate a knot. Make sure the line isn’t covered with any sort of wax/coating that makes it slippery. Run the laundry line through one ring of your horse’s bit, then under his chin and through the other ring. Bring the ends around his neck and knot them together, creating a continuous loop. Tie your real reins in a knot and rest them on your horse’s neck. Then pick up the laundry-line reins and walk your horse around the arena. You’ll quickly learn that it’s much more difficult to steer with this rein loop than with regular reins, since it slides through the bit. If you just grab the inside rein to turn, the loop will pull your other hand forward. This takes lots of practice, but it’s an invaluable skill to learn. (It can also be very entertaining for onlookers, as riders often get stuck in a corner before they figure out how to use their aids correctly.) It will help you develop more control in all your ridingwithout tension. Also, as you learn to ride more with your legs than your hands, your horse will likely respond by becoming lighter in the bridle and more responsive to soft aids. More on how to properly and safely execute this exercise from the late Kip Rosenthal, as well as how to make it more challenging >> https://practicalhorsemanmag.com//loosen-up-4-exercises-to Photos Susan J.
