A neck rein is a type of indirect rein aid. The horse responds to a neck rein when it has learned that a light pressure of the right rein against its neck on that side means for the horse to turn left, and vice versa.
What is the difference between neck reining and direct reining?
Neck reining is the counterpart to "direct reining," in which you guide the horse by pulling on one rein to physically point the horse's nose in the direction you want to go. In other words, when using a direct rein, when you want your horse to turn to the left, you pull on your left rein, and vice versa.
