Teddy. I have always dreamed of reining mostly when I saw this:

My mom said that when i did the following she would buy me a silver and gold beautiful reining saddle:

- walk

-trot

-canter

-good headset

- perfect position

- back

- sidepass

-pivit on haunches

-pivit on forehand

Do You have any advice when I get to reining.? Any Funny Stories? Videos that could help me learn?

p.s. He's very athletic, hard as a rock, not mean, not spooky, natural headset!

Thank You

Answer 1

The video doesn't work.

And I've never done reining so I can't really help, I'm sorry. But if your horse is only 3, make sure to take things slowly. If you rush it all now, it's going to end up bad in the end.

Good luck!

Answer 2

it's all practice and repetition, try working on circles, stopping and pivots first.  A reining horse should move off all leg pressure, you want the pattern to look effortless on your part.  Also invest in training books and videos to help out, Al Dunning is a great inspiration for Reining.  

Answer 3

walk,trot,canter,gallop- try to lunge the horse round the paddock and tell it to walk,trot,canter and gallop then try riding it and kick your horse when you ask for a new transition e.g walk one kick trot 2 kicks. . .

to make the hose go back put both legs slightly back and pull on both reins

im sorry i have to go to my riding lesson now
