rein backphrasal verb

////

The term "rein back" in the context of horseback riding comes from the German word "Rückenbeugen," which literally translates to "bend the back." The term romanizes to "reinback" in English, and it refers to a specific maneuver in dressage, which is a form of horse training that emphasizes communication between horse and rider through body language and aids, rather than force. In "rein back," the rider encourages the horse to lengthen its frame while simultaneously pulling the reins, "pushing" the horse to bend backwards. This creates a hindquarters-driven movement that results in the horse's front legs lifting off the ground, almost as if it's walking backwards. "Rein back" is considered a more advanced technique and requires a high degree of trust and communication between horse and rider.
