Draw Reins

Today was the first time that I used draw reins on Sharubi!!!!! We did very little though because I am absolutely wiped out. I haven't gotten enough sleep this entire week because of school work, but school is almost over, I just have to make it through the next few weeks!!!
Anyway, so the draw reins really helped. We both still need to get used to them, but I think this is going to really help us improve. She needs to learn to hold her head lower and rounder and I need to learn to how to get her to do that with my hands up higher and wider instead of low.
So today I hooked her up with some draw reins and we were probably out and about walking mostly, with a little trot, for around 2 hours. It really help me with my half halts, hand position, and Sharubi's profile.
So I'm going to continue riding with them and hopefully build up some more neck, back and, butt muscle.
My next tool to use with Sharubi is going to be spurs. Probably square edged and about 1 inch. I just have to head to the local tack shop and pick up a pair.
