What Is Reining
Reining is designed to highlight the athletic ability of the "ranch type" horse in the confines of a show arena. Contrary to the seemingly relaxed attitude of both horse and rider and the loose reins typical of the discipline, reining is a high-level competition sport requiring concentration, athletic prowess, control, and speed.
How is Reining Scored
The horse and rider team begin with a score of 70, with a theoretical range of scores considered to be from 60 (if there are no penalties or disqualifications) to 80 (a near-impossible perfect pattern). Points are added or subtracted by 1/2, 1, and 1-1/2 point increments for each of the 7 to 8 maneuvers in the designated pattern.
Origins of Reining
Reining originated from the moves that working ranch horses adopt when on the job...
