How are the reins held for hunt seat?

In: Horse Tack [Edit categories]

Answer:

You hold the snaffle reins(usually braided) like you normally do, and pick up the curb reins(thinner, not braided) with your index and middle fingers. Tighten both reins to where you can effectively steer without pulling your horse's head down too far. To bring nose down hold both reins and alternate hands back while encouraging your horse forward. Hope that helps!
