They do this to show that it takes little effort and cueing to get the horse to respond to the light cues. This girl rides a little to far forward, so it looks worse than most. Most good reiners have their hand on the horses neck and it never moves. Reining is a lot like dressage athletically, and for the cues, its just done with a completely loose rein.
