How to Excel in Western‛s Hottest Sport
With Jennifer Forsberg Meyer
Foreword by Al Dunning
This book is not just for reiners, but for anyone who wants a more soft, supple and willing horse! World Champion trainer and rider Sandy Collier provides an indispensable guide of progressive training exercises. Whether green, broke, or “push-button,” every horse will perform more willingly, cleanly, and quickly with work on what she calls the “Seven Essentials”—the foundational basics every riding horse needs. Like no other book out there, Collier also breaks down the maneuvers required in a reining pattern and the tricks and techniques for introducing them, perfecting them, and showing them off in competition.
Here are just some of the things I cover in Reining Essential:
- Terms and concepts for a working vocabulary
- Horse gear, bits and favorable conformation
- The 7 Essentials or basic building blocks for successful riding
- Collection and steering with some great exercises!
- Checking up (pros and cons), asymmetry
- Lead changes, circles, spins and speed control with my favorite exercises
- Perfecting your stops and rollbacks
- Teaching your horse to neckrein
- Competition and schooling shows
- The million things that can go wrong and how to fix them!
