REINING

Reining by the best!! Made by me...

[@Dinkyb07]

THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL RIDER! still hands, sits up and rides, his horses listen to him... WOW!! even I'm impressed!

[@Trakehner20]

Yes, and all on the slightest cues, shows how horses don't have to be jerked around and heavily cued. They teach them lightness from the start, so they stay light forever.

[@HanaPiana]

I'd never seen 'reining' before. These horses are spectacular and so well trained!

[@Trakehner20]

Yes so much precision, glad you could see it, these are of course some of the top ones out there.

[@distanceofastorm5703]

gives me the goosebumps! i love reining so much! beautiful spins and stops it was really awesome!

[@pleasurepainthorses]

I like the palomino the best! He doesn't seem to anticipate what the rider wants, but waits for the rider. Rider seems quiet and not constantly having to check the horse. :)

[@pamwebb3892]

I enjoyed ''watching'' these well trained horses do their thing.

[@opala263]

Awesome I'm learning reining. It's harder than it looks.

[@erinstotler2299]

it truley is. I've been riding for 2 and a half years and it is so much work but it all pays off in the end

[@lovelytwinsmoroni6672]

I love équitation western ♥️ The best 😍

[@Trymie98]

Now seeing as how I've never really watching reining horses, seeing them spinning like that makes MY head spin! :)

[@jjjjjokerface]

It made me really dizzy the first time I tried it, lol!

[@Trymie98]

jjjjjokerface Wait, you've DONE IT?

[@jjjjjokerface]

I took a few reining lessons a few years ago and I'm currently trying to get back into it! It's probably some of the most fun I've ever had on a horse!

[@Trymie98]

jjjjjokerface Wow! Cool! It does look pretty fun!

[@mattiaviceconti5229]

Bello questo reining e anche bravo chi lo fa

[@ErinMccooljudybear58]

The horse thing looks fun

[@carolyn2546]

Reining is truly an amazing sport!

[@jericyanide2010]

3:00 is one of the best reining horses I've ever seen!! :D

[@claudiopetrolli7584]

I love reining

[@briburger7121]

I love this!

[@FSpartan150]

Wow, this is amazing!

[@109367]

The horse at 3:40 is a liver chestnut splash, it is a form of white coloring but not related to tobiano or pinto. The white covers the legs and sometimes the belly and face and has a very crisp outline, not a "torn" pattern like sabino, overo or tobiano patterning. Gorgeous horse though!

[@Trakehner20]

Yes, hes gorgeous!

[@jeanetteywolfe]

Awesome ... All of them .

[@cece1ba]

Amazing sport.

[@hnmajd]

I'll take the first cowboy and horse to go please.

[@barrelraces456]

That was very helpful! Thankyou!

[@martinoritoli3851]

good!!!my opinios is monta western is googd

[@ROPEFAST06]

Love them deaf Gunners.

[@MyWayofEverything]

Damn that paint's flashy!

[@Trakehner20]

These horses are trained with such lightness in cues, and they stay that way forever. SHows you don't have to be so heavy and forceful in your cues.

[@lillian-nm9rd]

loved the palomino

[@bratzstar1000]

I'll take gunners son lol you will know who gunner is if you are in the reining world

[@vaquero7x]

Do you really think I do not understand reining? My ancestors created this "sport". Look into the history of the vaqueros from Spain and Mexico, and by the way, I never said I hate it. I said I dislike the head behind the vertical when the horse backs up!

[@MissMissouriCowgirl]

What is the palominos bloodlines... beautiful :)

[@larrahenglish931]

do you know if any of these horses are for sale

[@lisawunderle789]

ich reite auch western *-* hab morgen nen kurs :)

[@Mimi-bn1dc]

Ich reite auch western😇

[@Mimi-bn1dc]

Welches pferd hast du?

[@picturesqueponies]

ohhh so you’re the OG of horse edits

[@erzsebetschmidt12]

Thank you

[@rb7139]

Is it just me or are all of them doing the same three maneuvers?

[@ThisBitchHere]

That's the point . It's who does them better

[@jonniehawks6036]

theres just something about how he rides that bugs me.... ._.

[@vaquero7x]

I don't like how the horses head is behind the vertical when the horse is backing up!!

[@1987jennijen]

i dont like it neither

[@minihorselover001]

I don't like how he keeps constant pressure on that nasty bit with the first horse when he backs up! Poor horse!

[@jordanellizabeth256]

If you don't understand the sport, instead of saying "I hate how..." ask "Why does..." You'll sound a lot more educated.

[@jordanellizabeth256]

Everyone has an oppinion ans is entitled to it but I have seen horses trained to have this head set humanely. I am a reiner

[@minihorselover001]

Jordan Savioli Of course you're a reiner!! Only a reiner would look at a horse with his head hanging inches from the ground like he's sick or in pain and see that as acceptable! I have seen reining horses with normal/natural head sets and they did just as well as the horses with their heads hanging, they did better IMO! Just because a judge or an industry says something is right doesn't make it so! I would also like to know your definition of 'humane' training, I'm sure many abusive trainers would say their training is humane without hesitation. Saying something is humane doesn't make it so.

[@barrelraces456]

Would the horse at 3:40 be considered a pinto?

[@silas4161]

Don't think so technically, either way it's a amazing Ride

[@TerrorCat7]

Wie ist der Name von dem Splashed White?

[@nicolew2229]

Gorgeous horses,i’m thinking about switch to western from english because western looks 100 times funnier

[@b4by.katttt]

poor horse is gonna get dizzy and his head is way to close to their chest tsk tsk tsk that hurts them. the truth hurts, huh?

[@who-o-o-oaemo-nalisa450]

you're wrong ERRRR try again,go back to peta. 1.the horses dont get dizzy 2.their heads are fine you obviously watched flicka once and think you know everything lmfaooo

[@turkeyburglarjones6148]

horses can get dizzy guys lol you're honestly just as ridiculous as people who claim horses can't feel pain

[@madisonwinter2437]

I doubt they get dizzy but the rolkur is bad for balance.

[@cliquenic2171]

Have you ever actually like...ridden a horse

[@martineweb3788]

now why pirates soundtrack?

[@HEY.o003]

Guys you need to remember this horses were trained to do this. They are us to turn fast and sliding. I know this is horrible to watch but each horse has a dicapline. Its like the cutting horses as well. Just enjoy the video watching pretty horese. XD

[@bellasue02]

They are trained. They are gauged with spurs and the bit is constantly bumped until these babies mouths are so sore that they are not about to put their head out of that position. I watched a training video. Think it was Clinton Anderson. The whole time he's spurring a little horse in the side to soften him up and sawing on his mouth to get him to give. Well it works but I don't see the purpose and it's hard physically on these horses. I adopted an exreining horse that had sold for thousands but hocks were soooo bad he'd just give out in the back end and collasps. He was only 12 years old but in his younger day could spin a hole in the ground. But he paid dearly for his good work. A horse is not developed enough at 2 or 3 to do this hard work. These people are just money hungrey animal abusers.

[@fabkat4213]

bellasue02 Clinton Anderson is a bad example to watch. I personally find alot of his techniques quite harsh and physically rough. Where I ride they have some reining horses (One who is 33 and still giving a lesson once a week) and they are all trained to go off a shift in weight and a light touch. Ive never seen them be ridden roughly.

[@anthonytie8299]

Clinton is a horseman not trying to push gimmicks as most clinician. Learn from him, I guarantee you can't accomplish 1% of what he can with a horse. Clinton understands horses and doesn't sugar coat. If you hand him a problematic horse he will get through the tough spot. You people don't understand horses and are actually dangerous to be around. Anyone who knows anything about horses knows Clinton is a good hand.

[@bellasue02]

He does know horses. He knows if you put enough pressure/pain in the right place the sensitive young two year olds will do what he wants. You don't understand horses or care about what happens in the long run for the horses. My husband is a vet and we see the results. You like the rest just want the blue ribbon.

[@anthonytie8299]

Well I do care about the long run and keep the horses best interest in mind. Maybe I don't uderstand but there all I know all I do, people send me horses with an intention that I try my best to accomplish. Weather if it's a non pro reiner, a prospect, or a colt to get going around the arena and basic foundation meaning following it nose around with direct rein. Normally I found once a horse figure out how to follow there nose around both ways they are pretty good about being soft off both reins.than start asking them to side pass a little. Horses are typically good leaded so that develops on there own in most cases. I'm sorry about you rescue horses who's haucks are used up. That's sad. I feel horses need to be manage properly. The good guys don't thrash on them because they break. Reiners done right have a great foundation that hrs of slow boring repetitive through maneuvers. If you tap out the maneuver they learn to not like the stop or turn or any maneuver. I even get sent occasional jumper or dressage horse with bad habits/rearing, bucking \ stuff that average rider can't handle. In that case it's not about earning that horses trust at first it's about scaring the horse in the moment of there negative habit. Horses are creatures of habit in my opinion and I try to create good habbits. Your husband the vet probably doesn't see warn out haucks on regular basis I would assume ocd in stifles and navicular cases on these kind of horses. I don't know your experience with Clinton but he works with lots of horses that art safe for average hobby horse person. He owns and breeds very high quality of horses that are leading in this industry. We do have plenty of heavy handed rough looking guys in this business probably in any disepl

[@mascaragengy8744]

3:18 gunner??

[@meibluetree1165]

4:12 Paint-Horse or Quater-Horse ?

[@meibluetree1165]

Okay, that 's what I thought. Thank you.

[@TheOnlySilverUnicorn]

I don't know for sure, but I'm willing to bet that horse is descended from Gunner (aka Colonels Smokingun and Colonels Smoking Gun). Gunner was bred to be a pure Quarter Horse, but the AQHA refused to register him because of the white rule: white extending past the knee on the front leg, past the hock on the back leg, or past the eyes on the head were considered defects, and disqualified horses from registration with the AQHA, regardless of the purity in their pedigrees. So, his owners registered him as a Paint Horse with the APHA, instead. He is officially named Colonel's Smokingun on his APHA papers. The APHA was happy to have him, especially when he became a leading stallion in the NRHA (National Reining Horse Association). His bold markings allowed even casual observers to instantly recognize him, his champion status made him a household name in the Western Horsemanship world, and the APHA enjoyed the boost to its prestige. Gunner proved that a Paint could rival and even best a Quarter Horse. When the AQHA repealed the white rule in 2005, he was accepted into the AQHA and registered as Colonel's Smoking Gun. Yes, that one stallion had three official names: Gunner, Colonels Smokingun, AND Colonels Smoking Gun! As a popular, double-registered, world champion stallion, he was an extremely valuable horse. He earned his owners, Tim and Collen McQuay, more than $5,000,000 in his lifetime. The irony is that the excessive white on his head did cause a serious defect. He was deaf! The same is true for all of his progeny with similar facial markings. The connection between excessive white on the head and deafness is now well known. It's caused by a mutation that limits the distribution of pigment and hinders embryonic development, thankfully not fatally. An equine geneticist can even tell you the specific allele and locus where the unfortunate mutation occurred. However, Gunner proved that his disability didn't matter. He pwned horses with perfect hearing! You may notice that horses with so much white on their faces also have floppy ears. That's because they never fully developed the muscles that control their ears because they never needed them, and the useless ears just flop around as a result. But to finally answer your question, the horse in this video may be a Quarter Horse registered with the AQHA, a Paint Horse registered with the APHA, or both simultaneously!

[@saysumfinelseluv2084]

I'm pretty sure he is a quarter horse

[@DoubleDogDare54]

Could be by Spook's Gotta Gun, too.

[@b4by.katttt]

the horses head is behind the vertical. search up why its so bad

[@howaboutno1424]

+_Equine_Perfection_ rollkur?

[@turkeyburglarjones6148]

There's no good benefit from rollkur.. even if didn't do harm though what's the point? On a dressage horse it literally does the opposite of what one should be trying to achieve. Here it just serves to put the horse in a state of learned helplessness and put their balance at risk.

[@madisonwinter2437]

That is my biggest problem with reining. The rolkur.

[@silas4161]

Rollkur isn't always the case for reining.

[@jennykamer4394]

Put the fu*** Hand down when you back up!!!! Reining by the best.... haha good joke!!!

[@anthonytie8299]

Well I'm sure the horse does back up with out lifting his hand but being that it is reining why would you knock him for using his reins?

[@anthonytie8299]

Name a reining trainer better than Shawn or even andrea? Jonathan the skinny one isn't bad at the sport either. Shawn doing what he loves and knows. I guess your the joke

[@saysumfinelseluv2084]

Jenny A. I ride a 30,000 dollar reining stud. Putting your hand up makes the horse lower his/her head.

[@silas4161]

Ok so this is for the people who say this is abuse: It's not Because let's see do the horses seem that there in pain? *NO* do they look skinny *NO* do they look frustrated *NO* do they seem sad or angry *Nope* do you see major rollkur? *NO* these horses were trained by people who Knew what they were doing so, y'all needa get your Head outta ur ass realize reining isn't abusive

[@bigoakranchtraining6666]

If you don't like it don't watch it because some people in this world do! And as much as you say its unnatural well look it up some horses build ARE naturally like that! And as much as you say that it's unnatural for a horse to spin like that well it's not natural for a horse to be forced to jump a 6ft wall and it is natural I have a stallion that all by himself dose role backs and spins all the time and he has never had a saddle on him he dose it when he sees a mare and when it is time to eat! So yeah the truth hurts!

[@Becca-xo1ol]

bei englischreitern würde man es rollkur schimpfen. das Pferd ist meines erachtens zu tief eingestellt

[@jjjjjokerface]

I don't know who the first rider was, but I'm not a fan of the way he was riding.

[@carloseduardo-wc8ez]

A primeira fés melhor

[@falloussaa.4023]

Why they always pull the horse's had to it's breast?? Can't you people (in the video) back up without pulling at the reins?

[@horsepunky]

The first horse doesn't look very happy, just saying.

[@carolyn2546]

xD I think he looks really happy

[@loipoi3378]

C'est de l'équitation western ! J'en fais moi-même et je peux vous dire à tous que dans l'équitation western, on dirige surtout le cheval avec la voix et les rennes détendues ! Regarde les concours d'équitation classique, je peux te dire qu'il y a BEAUCOUP moins de contact avec le cheval (j'ai fais les deux)

[@pamelapeterson2987]

"Because of this, many of these horses end up with bowed tendons, navicular disease, bone spavins, bone chips, stifle injuries, blown-out hocks, hairline fractures, arthritis, severe back problems, sprained necks and a myriad of other problems and conditions associated with the strain and stress to young developing bodies. Many horses break down in the first year and those that make their 3yo or 4yo end up with debilitating problems at only four or five years of age and live on anti-inflammatory medications and/or painkillers in their feed or through injections. The sad fact is that of the tens of thousands of reining horses bred each year, only one hundred or so make it to the Futurity. [see footnote] The others are lost in the system, and many end up slaughtered as they are damaged beyond repair and have no value to this futurity driven industry. The vets are now recognizing that reining horses have one of the highest incidents of breaking down next to race horses; and sadly the same fate."

[@ThisBitchHere]

@The Magic Twister it's the age these horses are required to perform at. Racehorses and reiners are expected to do this hard hard work at such a young age. Dressage horses don't go pro until much much older and most Olympic showjumpers you won't see under 10 years old. It's different asking an already fully grown horse to do those things.

[@koolioforyou]

reining is one of the least graceful sports out there XD but impressive no doubt

[@bellasue02]

Graceful for you to watch. Not grace for the horses get spurred to make him do it or his mouth getting so sored he's afraid to move his head. You think a horse would do all that unless he was trying to get the hell away from pain. I promise a couple years of spinning on that leg and he'll need injections and then just be broke down and off to the slaughter house

[@nightlizard8595]

bellasue02 horses aren't nearly as fragile as you're making them out to be. Reining horses aren't abused in training, an abused horse would not perform as happy and willingly as most of these horses do. Hell, there are riders that rein without reins, or a bridle, sometimes even without a saddle

[@vaquero7x]

minute 2:27 looks horrible!!

[@anthonytie8299]

I thought 2:27 was good. Horse was holding the ground but after that the horse wasn't the greatest at the back up. Very nice horse though i wouldn't complain. Probably +1/2. Better backup would have been a 1

[@ThisBitchHere]

Definitely looked rough

[@miaprovenzano3063]

The majority of the saddles in this video were poorly fitted.

[@yellowstarfish09]

A yellow starfisher, thank you very much.

[@miaprovenzano3063]

Well for your personal information, I was not insulting your discipline, yet here we are. You're probably just a twelve year old. XD

[@yellowstarfish09]

Twenty twelve year old, thank you very much.

[@miaprovenzano3063]

Well that, my friend, is not a thing. Your sarcastic tone has reached the point where it is no longer comprehensible.

[@yellowstarfish09]

I'm a taking gibberish, thank you very much,

[@lalie75]

A ce stade çà devient carrément moche!

[@santiagodomeniguinilopez1283]

estaba leyendo un libro de Etnología Veterinaria, y en la parte de equidos apareció la palabra "Reining" como disciplina deportiva realizada por caballos la cual era totalmente desconocida por mí y entre a este video para saber de que se trataba.. ya en realidad conocía la disciplina pero no sabía que se denominaba con dicho nombre.. ahora lo que pienso sobre este "deporte" es que es un maltrato hacia los caballos y no genera ningún tipo de aporte a la cultura de nada. Eso simplemente es adiestrar (a base de quien sabe cuantas injurias) un pobre ser que no tiene consciencia de sí mismo para competir entre humanos. Una competencia más que pone en riesgo la vida de estos animales, porque si en una de esas frenadas que hacen se lastiman una pata y lo que sea y el caballo no puede recuperarse cuál creen que será su destino? el matadero sin dudas! que desgracia.. otro competencia más donde aflora el comportamiento de imbéciles que tienen algunos humanos deshumanizados. Saludos desde Uruguay! Ojalá se prohiban este tipo de .. maltrato animal

[@elvergamechupas6143]

Esta actividad es mucho muy parecida a la cala de caballo en el deporte nacional mexicano "LA CHARRERÍA" pero sinceramente la rienda reining me parece aburrida #ALGUIENDIJOMÉXICONUNCAPIERDE #YCUANDOESOLESUCEDECUIDENSE!!PORQUEELULTIMOARREBATA

[@147hps]

What a stupid Yankee game. No horse in nature ever makes this "spinns" and stops.

[@alanan.885]

Ever seen dressage that came from and is still insanely popular in Europe? You call reining stupid but have you ever seen wild horses do ANY of the moves in dressage? And from a personal standpoint I've actually seen wild horses practically do sliding stops and spins as fast as the horses in the video

[@Visada]

You know what's unnatural? Horse riding.

[@nightlizard8595]

147hps reining isn't meant to mimic the actions of wild horses...

[@DoubleDogDare54]

I've never seen a horse in nature do what the Lippizanners stallions of the Spanish Riding School do either - but nobody seems to have a problem with *that*.

[@vaquero7x]

look at 2:35---this is ugly !!!

[@schelichstar5001]

I looks to me like Rollkur from Dressage.

[@edenpace4027]

Reining is the most stupidest thing ever

[@ritacasey647]

no it isn't.  much less injuries to the horse compared with jumping or racing. and it is a lot of fun too, for both horse and rider.  I have a rescue horse that evidently was used for reining before I saved her from slaughter. she does all those things, she licks and chews and has as much fun as I do. it is a blast. ride em cowgirl!

[@erinstotler2299]

I reign bridleless bitch it is the best thing in the world for me. I have to have a saddle because I'm not ready to go bareback yet. it's amazing.

[@loladwyer6743]

shame on you!😡

Shame on them for what? This is a AMAZING ride the horses don't seem to be hurt, frustrated, Anything! So shame on u for bashing them fir no reason
