"The different rein aids often have different effects depending on the level of the balance that the horse currently is in. Sometimes becoming more effective; sometimes surprisingly having no effect; sometimes having a completely different effect depending on the current Level of Balance of the horse.
Further complicated by the fact that the rein effect can change the level of balance that the horse is currently in."
This subject was hard to cover in a single article. Because it is complicated!
In this article:
1. A review of levels of balance.
2. A review of the definition of resistance of weight as previously covered in Volume 1.
3. Understanding the Need for Different Levels of Balance
4. When is it normal to be in the First Level of Balance?
5. Some of the Effects on the Horse's Body in the First Level of Balance.
6. Rein effects that morph and the relationship to Levels of Balance.
7. The Connection to Levels of Balance, and Different Movements and Gaits.
8. How rein effects, level of balance and resistance of weight fit together.
