You will probably have seen long reining being done before – either by trainers breaking young horses, or being used with advanced horses such as the famous Lipizzaner in Vienna. There’s no doubt long reining has an important role in training – it is after all, where the horse first really learns about communication with the rider through the reins. Because communication with your horse’s head and mouth is going to be a fundamental part of its future as a riding horse, it’s important to get this early stage right. So where do you start?

If you happen to have a garage or an outbuilding that is strong and has a small area inside you can put up some temporary barriers to contain your horse for a short while. The area will need to be free of any chemicals poisons or pesticides. An area of approximately 4X6 or 4X8 feet will do for an emergency stall.

The most important thing to remember is that the equipment you purchase fits the horse well. Equestrian equipment should be of the right size and style. In other words, the horse should be comfortable and happy with it. Any problem with the equipment is bound to affect the horse as well as the rider. Hence, if the horse resents any of the equipment because it is uncomfortable, it is wise to replace them with matching ones rather than forcing the ones that you have onto an unwilling animal.

If the building is small enough and is free of anything the horse cannot get into then just let the horse loose in the building for a temporary period.

If the horse ran threw the fence he may need medical attention so he or she should be, checked over to see if there are cuts or scrapes from the fence. It is not a common occurrence however, it does happen occasionally.

If it is at all possible, you should build your horse a permanent stall for the times when the horse needs to be, stalled. Bad weather, illness, or to keep the horse out of the direct heat and sunlight things such as this is where a nice stall comes in handy. Moreover, the times something unexpected should happen then you will have a secure stall ready and waiting.

Always keep the stall as clean as possible for the emergencies if they do occur and you will not have to worry with cleaning it before you leave your horse for the night. You can just simply lock him up securely and the come back in the morning when you have the sunlight to repair the fence
