Do you need reins to ride a horse yes or no?
Not necessarily, no. All you need to ride is the horse.
Is it better to have split reins or combined reins?
The 'split reins' you are talking about are Western reins. 'Combined reins' are English. Both are good, just different riding styles.
What piece of equiment has the sole purpose of keeping the reins from going over the horses head?
There isn't one. If you ride with split reins you can tie a simple knot. Both types of martingales (standing and running) will stop the reins from going over the horse's head but their purpose is training. These are 'head setting' devices. I thought of 'draw reins' and 'side reins' but these also are training equipment. There are 'stoppers' made of rubber or leather but these are used to keep the bit and reins where they belong. Unless someone have invented something new in the last 5 minutes there is nothing that has the 'sole' purpose of keeping reins in your hands.

How do you gather reigns when you are riding a horse?
to gather the reins, you take the reins in one hand and grab lower with the other hand, do this with both hands until you have collected your reins to a good length. do not just wiggle the reins through your fingers to shorten them, this is incorrect.
How are the reins held for hunt seat?
You hold the snaffle reins(usually braided) like you normally do, and pick up the curb reins(thinner, not braided) with your index and middle fingers. Tighten both reins to where you can effectively steer without pulling your horse's head down too far. To bring nose down hold both reins and alternate hands back while encouraging your horse forward. Hope that helps!

What is a surgsingle used on horses or surcingle - type of harness put on a horse?

How do you keep the horse still while getting on her?
well, when you walk into the arena or field or wherever you ride, you stop the horse with the reins, get on a mounting block or make your stirrups really long, hold your reins in your left hand and put that hand on the front of the saddle. your right hand goes on the back of the saddle and then you just swing on to the horse. The key here is to make sure your left hand has the reins tight enough so that your horse doesn't take off. (obviously, if you lengthened your stirrups before getting on, you would tighten it before you ride)
