I've never been a fan of draw reins, or gadgets generally, and certainly doesn't sound like a good idea for OP. However I used to ride out with a lady who was an amazing rider on her homebred (slightly mad) TB mare. She would occasionally pop draw reins on the mare if she was fresh or it was windy etc., and the difference when cantering in the fields was noticeable. I only saw her actually use them once, they were usually just sitting on the mares neck with a knot in. I assume the mare knew when they were there.
