“Long Term Equestrian Development”. Sounds fancy. But what does it have to do with you? A lot! Please read on! Every person who picks up a pair of reins has taken their first step along the equestrian Pathway . This Pathway details the progression of a rider from their very first experience all the way to the Olympic podium. Each rider decides how far along the pathway they’ll travel, but the journey has been mapped out to ensure safe and successful learning.

Reining horses and riders complete intricate patterns using a set of barely perceptible cues. At reining competitions, horse and rider pairs are placed in classes sorted by their age, status (professional or amateur) and level of experience. At the top level of competition, competitors complete one of 10 patterns that demonstrate the athletic abilities of the horse and the subtle communication between horse and rider. Included in the patterns are several compulsory movements: varying circles, small slow circles, flying lead changes, roll backs, spins and the crowd pleasing sliding stop. Reining competitors also perform freestyles, in which they choreograph the compulsory movements to music. Freestyles are judged on level of difficulty as well as music and choreography.
