I compete in reining. I did barrels today to freshen up Shadows mind but I only did it a few times cuz I got board so I went and worked our straight lines and Dean said she looks really (emphisis on the really) good. He seems to think were doing awesome and his onpinion is realy the only one that matters to me. Is reining fun? looks cool!!

Is hard for me to stay positive to. Reining isn't hard, it just takes lots of practice and patience. Even to get the head set for your circles takes 100s of hours of work to train and keep it up. Theres so much to work on. Its not just a matter of learning the patterns and doing them, its every aspect of them. Its not hard but theres a lot to do. Heres what I work, I'll usually do about 5+ of these a ride Speed transitions, sometimes in a circle and continue the circle, sometimes at the center and small cricle it like in a show. Spinning, a major trouble spot for us. Roll backs, another trouble spot, You have to work the rollback itself, and the lead departure-correct lead and takeoff. I work lead departures in my circles, shes gotta start, if she trots a stride befoer she lopes its a 2 point penalty. Lead changes, gotta be able to go from a fast circle/lead change/fast circle, Small circle/lead chang/fast circle, big circle/leade change/small circle (the hardest in my opinion) and small circle/lead change/small circle. Sliding stops, gotta work the stops themselves and the straight line. Backups. 4 corners-it helps with straight lines and turning the corners. I think I got everything.

LoL, once you know what the judges look for you learn what needs to be fixed and you just know. I know every penalty...mainly cuz I've gotten almost all of them. I was kinda eased into reining so maybe thats why I find it easy. I started with WP and that the horses we learn on, then we learn to spin and stop and rollback and everything but until you get to the showing part they don't teach you everything, just the basic thing. So when I got Shadow I had to work a bit harder cuz shes good. Now I'm working my butt off cuz I MUST win. I'm being so nit-picky. And spins and rollbacks are really what I need to work on. I have about a million things to remember for each, I got a lesson on it and I larned SO much.

So do I, but different experiences teach you how to handle/fix things and watching helps a lot and once you do some shows you realize what to fix so you run clean.
