Category: Cutting/Reining
A podcast built specifically around NRHA reining — competitive strategy, horse development, and the business of running a reining training program. The host is an NRHA Professional who has shown at the NRHA Futurity and coaches non-pros and amateur clients throughout the Southwest. Episodes cover maneuver-by-maneuver breakdowns of NRHA patterns, how judges score lead changes, spins, and stops, and what separates a 70 from a 74 in major competition. The show addresses the breeding side of reining — Spooks Gotta Whiz, Gunner, and Wimpys Little Step bloodlines and how pedigree affects trainability and longevity. Training episodes cover the colt starting process specific to reining horses, how to develop a big stop without compromising forward movement, and managing the physical demands on horses that do high-volume sliding work. Several episodes have addressed the NRHA's ongoing work to expand the sport internationally, particularly in Europe and Brazil.
