You actually teach neck reining with your whole body.  Your hands move from in front of your hips to knuckles almost touching and you start to move them as a whole unit...then eventually move to only one handed reining.  Your legs guide the horses body into the hand signals, for lack of a better description.

Maybe someone with more energy will elaborate!

Location: alabama		Thanks! Thats exeactly what I have been doing. I will keep on doing it every day, and he should pick it up. He responds when I ask in the direction of the barn pretty easy, so I think he knows what I am asking. Asking away from the barn I have to really use my seatbone, and some extra outside spur then he responds a little more. Just a little stubborn that way.
