What are the two different types of horse training or somthing? (READ DESCRIPTION!)?
Like, the two different ways the horses are trained. They are eather one or the other. Like I think its rein trained and leg trained or somthing. Western is usually one and english is usually the other but both can be eather one. Please help me! lol! I know this is a confusing question.
i think its leg aids and rein aids!?!? can u explain them to me?
I think I almost sort of understand this question.
English – In english riding you always have contact with the horses mouth through the reins, the reins never slack and you hands stay on either side of the horse’s withers (right hand on right side left hand on left side)
Westerm – In western your reins are slacked, and you use one hand to turn the horse. Kind of like you could turn a car in a video game with a joystick. If you wanted to go left you would bring your hand holding the reins to the left, or if you wanted to go right you would take your hand to the right. The only time you make contact with the horses mouth is to stop, and you would pull back the reins.
Leg aids are pretty much the same for both styles. Putting pressure from your lower leg is the cue to move forward. Pressure from one side cues to move sideways.
Hope I kind of got it all right.
you mean like neck reining or direct reining? meaning how you hold your reins? ur question is sorta confusing..

neck reining and spur cues?
neck reining- the horse moves off the pressure of the rein on his neck, no leg cues needed to turn
spur cues- the reins are really just there for show, everything, spinning, stopping, transitions, are done from spur cues.
EDIT- ketra said that you connect to a WP horses mouth when you stop, thats not true. you sit deep in the seat & lean back, or you use the spur cue to stop

I don’t really understand.. all horses are (or should be) trained to move in response to rein and leg cues. Are you talking about one handed (neck reining) and two handed? I think most horses are first trained two handed.
