These special reins provide assistance in achieving a better collection of your horse, a more active response to the rider's aids and to remain in balance. Used in combination with "ordinary" reins, the horse learns to open up and to accept the rider's aids more readily. The balancing reins need to be properly adjusted! The rider's input should be 50% via the ordinary reins and 50% via the balancing reins. The horse's emotional and physical equilibrium noticeably improves.
