Finnley Has A Go At Long Reining! *piccies*

[Vicki100]

So we decided to go for our first proper long reining hack
Was abit unsure of how he would react as he has only done it a couple of times up & down the drive at the yard.

He was a star though and seemed to enjoy it

Starting Off

Getting The Hang Of Stopping

Looking Handsom

Off We Go

He then insisted we trotted down the drive

What a clever pony, what breed is he? he is lovely looking

 

[Vicki100]

Thank you Not 100% sure...in the summer every1 was saying he must have some conny in him...but he looks more like a wooly mountain pony now
So probs a bit of Heinz variety going on

Great pics and well done for long reining, i'm a great fan of it and of most ground work. Done correctly it will improve your horses way of going and muscle tone immensely.. Sadly a lot of people do not include any work on the ground with there horses..

Thankyou!

I thought it was great fun! i loved not having to worry about falling off if he spooked etc.

Although he didnt spook at all! not even when i was running behind him whilst he was trotting!

Starting to get rid of his spookyness yay!!

He's a lovely looking boy - he looks almost highland ponyish in the photo but thats probably down to his woolly coat.

We are also fans of long reining. It's great to get the horses listening to the voice and going in front without fear.

It is a fab way of getting them confident like you said!

He looks like a different pony in summer...he goes bright white & looks all leggy and slim! *searches for pic*
