Teaching a horse to neck rein requires multiple cues in combination. As you use direct rein pressure to turn your horse in one direction, you will need to lay the opposite rein against the horse's neck and use your legs. For example, if you want your horse turn to the right, start by laying the left rein against the horse's neck and at the same time cue with your left leg at the front cinch. If the horse does not start to turn to the right, use direct rein pressure to pull the head to the right. Once the horse moves to the right, release the direct rein pressure and keep the indirect (left) rein pressure and left leg pressure until the horse turns the desired amount. To go to the left, reverse the cues and apply the same process.
