Introduction
“The object of dressage is the
development of the horse into a happy
athlete through harmonious education”

Aims of the study
• What makes a “happy athlete”?
• Objectively quantify rein tension
• Evaluate 2 training methods for obtaining
a desired head-and-neck position

Results
• Statistical analysis and paired t-test
• Significant (p<0.05) lower mean rein
tension with CCL compared to DR.
• Significant (p<0.05) lower maximal rein
tension with CCL compared to DR.
• Percentages of 0 simulating “lightness”

Results
• No difference in percentage 0 ratio = 0
• The bigger the ratio the more difference in
percentage 0
• One-sample t-test
• Significant (p<0.05) higher percentage of 0
with CCL compared to DR

Conclusion
• CCL achieves a similar HNP with a lower
mean and maximal rein tension
• Greater part of lightness
• Objective data on rein tension and HNP
• UU Rein tension device is a valuable tool
in rein tension research

Veterinary relevance
• Not necessary to use a lot of rein tension
to obtain a desired HNP
• CCL useful in the rehabilitation of horses
• Rein tension awareness!
