Registration Information

When registering, only have one browser window logged in at a time. If a second log-in attempt is made, the system will kick you out, and you may lose the items added to your cart. We want to make sure you’re as prepared as possible, so here are a few things to keep in mind:

On registration day, I will do my very best to answer your questions via phone and email, but there is only one of me and one phone line. Email is the best way to contact me on the day of registration. Please be patient and kind!

The Difference Between Leading Rein & Direct Rein

The four natural aids of the rider that allow communication between horse and rider are the seat, legs, hands, and voice. The reins are an extension of your hand and the connection with your horse. Reins are the conduit between the rider’s hands and the horse’s mouth, and they can play a critical role in communication. Weight and balance are important for reins—how they feel in your hands and how quickly they offer a release of pressure to the horse.
