When you have established a good, elastic rein connection, your horse can feel your thoughts transmitted through the reins.
The inside rein should be used only as much as is truly necessary. Make it a game to see how little inside rein you can use in any movement that you ride.

Allow with the reins when approaching a drop into water. Holding too much in the last strides can cause the horse to not use his body fully over the fence into the water - which can cause a stumble or fall on landing in the water.
