GREAT team!! The rider has a flawless seat, and the horse is absolutely gorgeous! Healthy and shiny coat, in perfect shape, relaxed, willing, athletic... I'd buy him in a heartbeat if I had the money =)

@NetzKaiser Rodeo does not mean wild horses.
-
@bishonenboy My horses keep their head low because they have learned to cope with the pressure.

the stop wow i love it <3

@equiniphile Okay, thank you for the answer.

@NetzKaiser Umm no......reining is a very competetive sport. The horses and riders have been training together for a long time to achieve this

I´m a judge at this, and from what I have seen here without the first turnarounds and backing...I gave her a 74.5..and if the other two movements where good ad 2 more points to that

That is why us reiners select horses with clean throatlatches and head carriage, so they do not expreience any discomfort or difficulties while doing that. This horse carrying his head like that shows that he is listening and in tune with his rider, that he is paying attention to the cues and is properly balanced. It is how he achives such flawless lead changes and speed changes.
@ropefast Everyones a critic, huh? His head is low, about right for a cow horse, where a lot of cow horses keep their heads... not jerked up with their chins in their necks like an English Jumper. A head too high is as bad as a head too low...the difference? there's no rein or tie down keeping this horses head down. A low head is a calm horse who engages his chest muscles. A high head is an alert, flighty horse with a disengaged neck and chest. When you work hard, is your head up or down?
