Carol and Steve Metcalf’s Hackamore Tips:

In this video brought to you by Polyglycan, Steve Metcalf teaches you how to steer your horse in a hackamore, using both your direct and indirect rein.

Now that you’ve introduced your horse to the hackamore, it’s time to practice steering. Steve discusses why you want your horse to come to your hand, and how to use the outside rein to achieve this. Watch how Steve uses both reins to communicate while steering, and why it’s important to avoid yanking or pulling on your reins. Be patient, help him come to your hand, and learn how to use your direct and indirect rein.
