Most horses are ridden by either direct-rein or neck rein.
Riders in hunt seat/english or saddleseat ride by means of direct rein, meaning there is direct contact with the horses mouth by the riders hands via the rein. The rein runs straight and tight from the riders hand to the bit in the mouth with 1 or 2 pounds of pressure applied to the mouth. Rein cues are given via the increase or decrease of this pressure on one side or the other (to turn or bend) or both equally (to move forward, halt).
In neck reigning, which is used in western riding, the reins are held in one hand and are very loose (think a U shape from the hands to the bit). This style of reining utilizes a curb style bit with shanks by which movement of the reins is transferred to the mouth very subtly and the rider lays the reins against the horses neck to one side or the other to direct them to turn.
This is a simplified explaination as there are many subtilites associated with each style of reining.

How do you know what rien you are on when you are riding a horse?
It depends which way you are going if you are in a riding menage and going right(clockwise) therefore you would be on the right rein, vice versa if you was going anti-clockwise then you would be on the left rein hope this helped plus it might of been a spelling problem on the computer but you spell "rien" the way you spelt it rein! :) x
How do you get your horse to have a outline while riding?
You use your inside leg to press the horse towards the rail, and light contact or "feel" of the inside rein to keep the bend to the inside. Sometimes it may be necessary to wiggle or "play with" the inside rein to keep your horse's attention on you and not whatever is going on out side the ring. Also, you can use what is called an "indirect rein" where you pull your inside hand back to your outside hip, but, you don't want the rein to cross over the neck, because that makes it useless.
How do you steer a horse once you are on the horse?
There are 2 different ways to "steer" or direct a horse: direct reining: hold the left rein in the left hand and the right rein in the right hand. make sure they are even!!!! pull the left rein toward your hip if you want to go left, or the right if you want to go right, when the horse's nose is pointing the direction you want to go, release the tension on the rein. nudge the horse with the OPPOSITE leg as you pull on hte rein(ex. left leg to go right, right leg to go left.) this method is used for both English and western riding Neck reining: chek the reins to make sure they are even and hold both in your dominant hand, to go right, lay the left rein on the horses, neck, they will yield to the pressure, again relase the tension when their nose is the direction you want to go. and again, nudge the horse with the opposite leg at the same time you use the reins. to go left, lay the right rein on the horses neck, when their nose is pointing the direction you want, release the tension on the rein. this method is only used in western riding.

How exactly does horseback riding work?
Well, first the horse must be broken. This means that it must be willing to let someone ride it. Then, after putting on tack, which is actually optional, (a saddle, a bridle, etc. etc.) u ride the horse. You pull on the left rein to get the horse to go left, right rein to go right, pull on both reins to stop, squeeze w/ ur legs to go etc, and that's not considering everything else [depending on your riding style]!
