When should I use draw reins?

Draw reins are a training aid which help bring the horse's head down. Draw the draw reins through the bit rings and attached them to the girth by means of a loop. Draw reins can also be attached to the saddle. When attached to the girth the horse's head and neck are forced further down. A steady hand is required when using draw reins. Using draw reins means you have two sets of reins in your hand. When the horse's head is in the correct position the draw reins won't exert any pressure.
