In this video, Bud shows you how he likes to ride reining pattern number eight. s. While all reining patterns require the same maneuvers, you should take time to study the pattern you’re getting ready to do before heading out to practice! When it comes time to ride, be patient and have a plan b in place if things don’t go exactly how you planned. Getting aggressive or over-correcting can make the problem worse, so just giving your horse a minute to find his rhythm and cadence can often yield better results in the ring.
