Long Reining

[Lloyd45]

My horse is so good at long reining, i’m not so good, we can do a whole prelim dressage test on long reins, rein back and turn on the forehand, I would like to try some more advanced movements. I’m in Milton Keynes and wondered if there is anyone local who could give me a lesson?

No help with the lessons, but wow that is impressive!

I would try Simon Battram, he's based at Bury farm so not a million miles away from you. His website is http://www.stepintodressage.com/

I am huffing and puffing up the long side of the arena 😊 but it’s not full size

My horse just does it 😊 what I I have learnt is how sensitive he is and how little rein you need to turn him

Amazing! I'm definitely an advocate for groundwork it certainly makes life in the saddle much easier! You have inspired me to go and have a long reining session instead of riding. (Plus, its raining lol)

I would second Simon battram.
Also Arthur kottas does a few clinics in this country every year at contessa and a few other places, no better teacher than him if you can get to one of his clinics!
