Long reins course

You already work on foot but would like to acquire new tools to vary your work. You feel the need for progressive, supportive coaching to enrich your practice.

Long reins are an invaluable tool! In particular, it allows you to free yourself from body language (and therefore get closer to what the horse is experiencing when it's being ridden) without having to carry the weight of the rider.
Some horses that thrive on initiating movement will particularly appreciate this possible variation in the rider's position in space.
For humans, it's a fabulous teaching tool for questioning our contact in the reins: Do I tend to run away from this contact? Is it symmetrical? Is it difficult to vary the tension?
It also helps us to improve our tact and accuracy: At what point do I resist or not? According to what observable factors do I make this choice?

You'll leave with answers to these questions and concrete steps for implementing this practice with a new horse.
