NRHA

Rate or speed control is essential for all horses, but especially reiners in their rundowns. Here’s why rate matters and how to maintain it.

Earn points when you can plant a pivot. Learn about leg position and cueing.

End frustration when your horse won’t go forward. Ace gait extensions for ranch riding.

Negativity in your riding will keep you from reaching your goals.

A well-executed shutdown is just as important as the spin itself. Learn how to nail your stop and stay out of the penalty box when it matters.

Each year, National Reining Horse Association affiliates are invited to nominate their favorite NRHA Professionals for top honors in one of the following categories: Professional Horseman of the Year, Professional Horsewoman of the Year, Non Pro Coach of the Year, Youth Coach of the Year, and Up-and-Coming Trainer of the Year. See who took home top honors in 2018.
