The how and why of bridge the reins -

When teaching my beginning student to skip a day, his horse was getting a bit 'strong over fences. Although she was capable enough to handle him, which was a bit 'she worried because she suffered muscle weakness in the arm from an old injury. That the weakness sometimes prevented her from maintaining constant contact on both reins when she grew tired.

E 'it was then that I remembered a technique that my old coach jumper had taught me when I was a younger driver redevelopment of a former racehorse - fill my reins. Fill my kidneys had then become an unconscious effort every time I was on a spooky horse or a strong mountain that has pulled over fences. Filling my kidneys, I had better security and constant contact. My hands did not grow more, but they had a backup now. And the technique has allowed me to maintain more control over the horse stance.

Runners fuss too much with their reins can benefit from the technical as well as picky horses that are suffering from inconsistent contact.

Reins can also be filled by a single hand so that you can drive one-handed over jumps. In this way it helps the driver to maintain its balance and helps maintain the resting on the horse's neck. It also helps to stores for the construction of independent aids, such as the jump with a hand off to the side. To fill the reins to one hand, hold the reins off as you would normally, then place your inside rein over the top of the outer part.
