| For a Reining horse a central meaning comes the training of the backing off. A good Backing off reveals much over the permeability and the training conditions of a horse; this applies independently of the riding way, in which it is ridden. Before one begins with backing of a horse, it should have learned to accept reins and thighs. The horse should raise it's diagonal pair of legs at the same time and moves in a 2-stroke (pic). The rider stops his horse first. Then he takes gradually the slack out of the reins. It is very important that he moves thereby his hands slowly, because only then the horse has all the possibilities to react on the slightest rein-aid. In addition it will easily loose the confidence into the hand when it's pulled to hard and fast by the reins. Don't pull the reins, just make a connection to the horse muzzle. With the Backing off only a limiting function comes to the rein, it prevents only the forward stepping of the horse. For the backward motion never use the reins, but only thigh aids. The rider drives the horse against the bit.. Because of the lining up the only possibility which remains, is the backward motion for the horse. Be sure to use even vocal aids, which you thought your horse even from ground training. As soon as the horse goes some steps backwards, the delimitation by the reins stops immediately and also the thigh pressure is solved. Only by this timing one receives a horse, which steps willingly backwards. With a young horse be sure to solve reins and thigh aids, if it makes institutes to go backwards or shifts its weight to his back. One cannot require perfect backing off at the beginning. Only by repetition the horse learns to go backwards several steps and to increase the speed slowly . It is important that one does not solve the pressure, before the horse does not show the desired reaction. If one solves the pressure to early, one teaches to the horse that it does not have to show a reaction on rein or thigh aids.
