directing the horse

the legs of the rider control the hind quarters and asks for bending of the horse, the hands of the rider controls the front quarters of the horse and regulates the degree of the bend. when the horse becomes well adept and the rider is an expert, then it can all be done by legs and body of the rider and one or both hands are free for other things, the reins become only an emergency back up tool. have a wonderful day everyone.
