Reining Lesson today-pics-

Waybueno · 09-02-2010, 02:42 AM

This was my second lesson so far with Joanne and its was fun and I learned just like the last one, and she's not chargeing me anything for these lessons at all. Completely free :]
Well besides the member ship fee I had to pay for the year to ride at Horse park, which is where reining by the bay is held btw ;]

Looks like so much fun! I have always wanted to try reining. Both of your horses are beautiful btw.

Thanks guys it was a blast

Try taking your stirrups up a notch or 2. See if that helps. They look long and looks like you are reaching for them.

Thanks NRHA for the tips on the stirrups I brought them up and it felt much better and was much easier to get contact with his sides. Heres pictures from today.

Looking good!!! :)

Ya that looks better. Glade it is working better for you. I have found it is a fine line between to short and too long. Sometimes you just have to play with it a bit to get it just right.

I just love Twink and am training Citrus for reining- it's like a horse roller coaster ride and soooo fun!
