He's an endurance horse right? See, I don't think trail horses really ever neck rein anyway. I've had/seen horses that necked rein, but you get them out on the trail in a group and the group takes off, or the horse spooks at something you always have to get all the slack out with two hands, and then by then you can be in trouble. I think it's better to learn two hand.

I agree on reining... You have more precise control two handed. But my cowboy friends disagree! Bay will neck rein for me, but I have to use a lot of leg, and he has to want to go that way anyway. ;~D

But I wish ecurbh could ride one handed so he could hang on to the horn if he needs to. Now, if Bay lurches on him, all he's got to hang on with ~is~ the reins and what's left of his seat.
