Like the word whoa mixed with a good spur stop on my horses.

Like this idea much better than the one rein stop! Great for skinny areas on the trail head.

I used the one rein stop before and my horse almost fell over. It was pretty scary. However, with this method it may work even if my horse is a draught with a huge, strong neck.

Does this also work for bitless, or only with a bit?

Would have been better if Julie had released rein pressure immediately after horse stopped–reward!

Great advice! Riding on narrow, forested trails has presented a challenge with emergency stopping. The pulley-rein technique of stopping appears to be a safe manageable method. The video was a big help. Seeing it performed provided me a very clear understanding of the technique. Thank you so much!
