> are you supposed to ride a horse with no slack at all in the reins? > Is that what they call bit contact?? Janice, this is a rhetorical question right? The straight answer is there is no "supposed to" to it. It would depend on the discipline, the stage of the horse's training, the "moment in time". My goal with my trail horses is to ride on a loose rein. I have photos proving that sometimes I have not met that goal. Nancy
