Manouevres that define the Western Horse

If you find reining as dull as ditchwater, maybe you need to ride it from the real side - https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=gGYLm4pjpOI

Let us know how many spins you count.

Sorry, the link isn't working for me.:mad:

It is the sheer repetitiveness of the thing, one horse after the other, whether dressage, or reining that I find dreary, and as for any sort of showing... I can watch maybe 3 or 4 and that is it before I start nodding off, I have a very low boredom threshold, I can't help it, I also find the constant swishy tails and hauled in heads of dressage horses as unattractive as the artificially low head carriage of some of the reiners.

As I said before I appreciate the work that goes into it all, but it doesn't rock my boat, exactly the same as I love rodeo and all cattle work but I don't expect everyone else to. Horses for courses.
 
We have two QH. Half sisters too. :) both regularly seen performing spins, roll backs and stops in their large field at play. We did breed a little colt and at 2 weeks old he was doing a reining pattern around mum. :) They can go from 0mph to 's**t off a shovel' in record time and then revert to donkey like proportions. I love the border collie analogy... Pretty much sums it up! :D
