F.R.A. Balance Reins Chiron NH

FRA bitless system 1: Working principle: pressure on neck. Construction: Although we do not immediately think of a bridle when we see a riding ring, also called a neck ring, we can certainly talk about a bridle. After all, the ring is the only physical aspect of communication between rider and horse. FRA® riding rings are constructed from a cotton-coated, stainless steel stranded wire core. There is a 10mm universal and a 12mm professional version available. An ingenious knot construction makes it possible to adjust the ring to the desired diameter. Position: Riding with a riding ring is a form of subtle communication, it is that communication in which the rider, consciously or unconsciously, determines the position of the riding ring. Effect: Driving without any form of physical communication, so described without a ring, naturally requires a certain amount of experience. With the riding ring included, the experienced rider has a means of very subtly strengthening those effects that he gives mentally, from his seat and other body aids as needed. Certainly mentally it brings the rider a balanced rest, knowing that, coming into a less controllable situation, he still has something to work in extra. This extra effect is easily possible with the driving ring. Certainly in those situations, body aids for stops and turns in combination and linked to the riding ring are extremely reinforced. Only then do you feel that with regard to a riding ring you can indeed speak about bridle. The optimum discriminating power and, of course, immediate full release when the ring is removed from the neck is obvious when using a riding ring. Suitability: The degree of experience of the rider or rider is decisive. The riding ring is an instrument for the experienced rider to stabilize his body aids in a very balanced way in every situation. It gives him or her the opportunity to build a very refined communication with the horse. On the other hand, the same riding ring is the excellent tool that helps the rider to add more strength to body aids. In general you can say that you start riding with a riding ring in a relatively small enclosed space and can expand further depending on your experience. However, even the less experienced rider will be able to experience and expand this form of handling his horse, whether or not under the supervision of an instructor, provided he has at least created the preconditions for the enclosed space in the beginning. It can be deduced from this and from the above points that it very much depends on the assessment of the experienced or less experienced rider which horse offers possibilities for riding ring in which situation. Factors such as an enclosed space, known or unknown environment and the horse's character play a major role in this. Finally: Riding with a riding ring can give rider and horse an unprecedented amount of pleasure. The emergence of an intimate, often mental connection, makes this way of driving an unprecedented experience. The bond of trust that arises between rider and horse in this way cannot be established in any other way. The sense of balance, especially in the event that the rider also omits the saddle, is developed incredibly quickly and well, after all, blockages as a result of physical obstacles that are no longer there can then no longer form an obstacle. Rider and horse can achieve an optimal development of the aforementioned sense of balance and melt, as it were, with one instead of two common centers of gravity. The resulting freedom of movement for rider and horse provides opportunities to develop a better feeling for riding in all disciplines in a relatively short time.
