Made an infographic for all of the people in the comments of the last post trying to deny the physics of how draw reins work.

No matter how “experienced” the rider is, draw reins are still a pulley system.

When a rider applies ANY pressure to the draw rein, it will pull the horse’s head to the direction of the other fixed point of the draw rein, which no matter whether they’re connected to the breastplate, saddle billets or Center of the girth results in the head being pulled down and inward.

Regardless of how you use draw reins, this is how the mechanics of pressure applied works.

If you’re going to use equipment, it’s important to actually understand HOW it works because being in denial of physics doesn’t change the experience for the horse.

If you don’t want your horse to have pressure pulling their nose in towards the chest, don’t use draw reins.

When you pull back or apply pressure to the draw rein, it pulls downward because you’re tightening the rein and thereby shortening the distance to the other fixed point of the draw rein, which pulls the head down and in.
