I’d love to try reining I love the look of it and as you say the way the horses think but I’ve never done anything like it and it doesn’t have a huge following in Australia where I am but I know a guy who has done a bit of it I think he trained in the stares but I must ask him about where it is over here cos I’d love to go watch I’ll never be able to do it although I have been riding since 1970 ten years ago I had a stroke and I am paralysed down my left side so I can’t ride nowadays so I guess I’ll never be able to give it a go but I would still enjoy watching it so I must find out where in Australia they hold competitions so I can try and go watch
