Why are reins important to use when riding a horse?
When mounted on a horse the rider controls the horse by natural aids such as gentle pressure of the legs and feet. The reins are an artificial aid and are connected to the bit within the horse's mouth. This allows further communication with the horse in order to maintain control.

What do you to increase to faster speed on a horse?
If you're riding a horse and you want it to go faster there are several ways to ask it to increase speed. One way is by lengthening the horse's gait - sit deeper in the saddle and give the horse a bit more rein. You can ask the horse to increase to the next gait by letting out the reins, leaning forwards and kicking gently or squeezing the horse with your legs. You can also use artificial aids ie. a whip or spurs, but the horse needs to be trained to respond to these and if used incorrectly or abusively, most horses will simply buck you off if they don't understand what you're asking.If your horse has settled into a gait and become slow and sloppy, sit up straight, maintain light contact with the horse's mouth, squeeze gently with your legs and get back into control. This is called 'collecting' the horse because it is 'bad horse manners' for the horse to be sloppy or lazy while you are riding. logically squeze with your calves and kick not to hard if they go put slack in the reins and tell them good job good boy(or girl) NEVER whack them with spurs or a crop that is animal cruelty!
What does working into a contact mean in horse talk?
I have never heard this expression before but it sounds like making contact with your horse either with seat, legs or hands. Basically it means aids to your horse. Aids are a way to communicate with your horse with the riders legs, seat, (butt) or hands. Sometimes you can use all 3 of these aids at the same time. When you are very good at it, observers will see little or no aids at all. The ride will flow seamlessly. This is when you and the horse are really 'one'.
What is a good alternative to a dutch gag bit?
Riding lessons or lots of time working with the horse at lower gaits (walk and trot) to get him responsive to your aids. Dutch gag bits really are painful for the horse and should only be in the hands of an experienced rider with a steady seat, independent legs and quiet hands.
What does your horse wear in showing?
Your horse will need to be nicely groomed and plaited (braided). To plait your horse's mane, his mane will have to be pulled. In terms of tack, you should use your usual tack, as long as it is clean and well taken care of. Any restrictions of artificial aids will be stated on your show organizer's website. You will be able to find instructions on pulling and plaiting on Youtube. ~Deb~

Does horseback riding take skill?
It may, depending on a trained or wild horse. But horseback riding is for everyone, and once you learn, you have developed that skill for riding. Answer 2: Yes horseback riding takes skill. Most people do not realize how much skill and training it takes to ride a horse correctly because they believe you just sit on the horses back, but this is not true. The rider must develop balance, muscle tone, fine motor skills, fine tune their timing, and learn to give the aids correctly. No one is ever done learning how to ride ,it is a life long journey.
