Wow, AK. I've never heard of that...interesting. Lexi knows how to neck-rein (I taught her how to back when I rode Western), but I don't do it much anymore. Ever since I've started English I like using 2 hands more, I feel like I have more contact with her mouth.
We neck rein all our Paint mares all the time. Perhaps it just depends on how responsive your horse is...I always felt that getting your horse to respond with the least amount of mouth contact the better.
