Come and experience what Reining is all about! During this intense* week of riding, we will introduce you to and/or help you with the maneuvers unique to Reining. Softness, body control, and precision are important to performing a good reining pattern. Throughout this week of camp, we will give you the foundational tools that will help build those very things in both you and your horse. Speeding up or slowing down your circles, smoothing out your spins, and setting your horse up for a successful stop are just some of the things that will be covered in your classes.

 

*Riders must be able to lope/canter confidently and continuously for many circles with control.
