Basic Horse Tack Supplies
The Definition of "Horse Tack" is all the equipment that you need as the owner of a horse. Riding a horse and properly caring for a horse requires certain equipment to adequately take care of their needs. You will need to evaluate you and your horse's activities and needs to evaluate what pieces of tack you should invest in. Bridles, bits, saddle pads, saddles, lead ropes, halters, whips, stirrup leathers are just a few of the basic supplies you will need.
The first time you go to the tack store you may feel like you've spent way too much, but don't worry, if you take good care of all your tack it will last you for several years. Then you can just replace items as needed. Also, getting a good quality saddle and bridle will last you forever if you keep it clean and polished up after every use. The same goes with ALL your tack.
Horse tack ranges from the very simple, to the very elaborate. The first thing you will need for your horse is a halter. The halter fits over the horses nose and head to allow you to control the horse. The halter has two rings, one on each side of the horses head and one under the chin. These rings are used to secure a lead rope or side ties which is another must have.
Lead ropes are especially made for horses and they have a very long clasp and are woven tightly for strength. Next comes the saddle. There are so many options on saddles it will make your head spin, so in basic terms, a good all around saddle is best. Take your horses measurements around the girth and length of his back to help you decide what size you will need. Under the saddle goes the saddle pad or blanket.
The last "must have" is the bridle. The bridle is used to control the horse while riding and has the bit and the reins attached to it. You will have to experiment on which bits to use with your particular horse. Some horses have sensitive mouths so you must choose a bit that is very easy on the mouth. On the other side of the coin, some horses are "hard-mouthed" which means they are very hard to control and need a really stiff bit to make him mind.
Until you ride your horse a while you won't know exactly which to choose at first so just pick a middle of the line bit that is not too expensive for the first effort.
Most stores that sell saddles and other tack will have a specialist there that can help you purchase all of these items and give you some good advice as to which ones are a good "first-time" choice. Whatever you do, enjoy.

How can I keep my horse's head low?
I have draw reins but I want to try something else. I want to try just tying splits reins to my saddle stirrups but Im confused how and my horse still keeps his head up. Even with the draw reins he still carries his head a little high. Any tips on how to get his head lower so its level?
Draw reins are nothing more than a bandaid - they forcefully hold the horse's head where you want, they do not teach the horse to hold it's head properly nor teach it to respond to a request from you.
A horse has many reasons for not holding their heads low. Left at liberty they may find at certain times holding their heads well-set makes them well-balanced, but when a rider is introduced, the balance is greatly affect his ability to balance - so you must be balanced well and a quiet rider to allow him to hold his head properly to balance correctly. Also, if the horse is worried about his surroundings at all, he'll hold his head higher so as to focus better on things he can't see well - when a horse drops his head, his range of vision is greatly decreased. So if you can control the head height, you can somewhat control the level of 'spookiness' and vice versa, a horse that's worried or spooked will be harder to control their head level.
Here's how I train the horse to control head level - it does not happen within a short time but rather takes time and patience and consistency to make the horse understand and comply.
Start from a standstill - you must gain the horse's ability to 'give' his head to you when you ask it. Has the horse been well trained to flexion - if you jiggle or gently pull a left rein, for example, will he bend to the left? If so, you've got a good start. If not, you must gain that flexion as well - flexion to the left and right is just as important as flexion up and down.
So - start with a soft jiggle on the reins - not seesawing or pulling, jiggle them alternately. The horse will try to figure out what you're wanting him to do - he may try lifting his head, all sorts of things but he'll drop his head the slightest bit to get away from the discomfort. When he drops even for a second or a small amount. STOP JIGGLING immediately. Pet and praise him. What you've just told him is 'see, I stop jiggling when your head drops". Wait a moment and try it again. It'll take a few times until the horse makes the connection between the jiggling ceasing and his dropping his head, but when he does he'll drop his head immediately. You can then build the cue by jiggling until his head is where you want it. The key here is how quickly you can stop when you get what you want and the patience to start small and build.
When he's responding properly at the standstill, then employ the cue at the walk. Practice it - he'll get so that when you pick up the reins at all, he'll drop his head where it goes. When he's focused on something outside the arena, a little jiggle should bring his head down and his focus back on you.
Then when the walk is mastered, go to the trot and so on. If the headset at the trot is well mastered, it will come pretty easy at the canter as the horse should have learned proper head carriage = easier balance and less work by this time.
I learned this from a natural horseman. My spooky mare went to him for 'fixing' - he made the connection to me that headset = control. Less scary things the horse can see, less spookiness. He had my mare dropping her head to the proper headset within a week at the gaits she'd mastered - the walk and trot. It has taken me a while to get used to it - I'm so used to her holding her head higher that when she drops it at my slightest cue (which I must learn to control well) I think she's going to buck.
I hope this helps you.
