I have a question about this event...I know its called reining, implying the use of reigns.  However, I get the impression (and I use impression because I really know nothing of this event at all) that the big thing about it is that they use their legs to ask the horse to do all of the neat tricks and slides etc...
Am I way off base or....?
I am also interested in anything anyone can tell me about this event.
Thanks Guys!

Finished reining horses rarely have to be handled with the reins. Those in competitions are running a predetermined pattern that they are very familiar with

As in any school of riding finished horses work with the slighte st of clue from the rider.

Since I am basically Horse Stupid, and your question involves REINING, and you said  "thanks GUYS, am I to assume it is Raining Men?

Just bringing a little humor to the board.

I'm going to start reining and even I don't know how to define it!! Let's check wikipedia...

"Reining is a western riding competition for horses where the riders guide the horses through a precise pattern of circles, spins, and stops. All work is done at the lope (known more commonly worldwide as the canter) and gallop; the fastest of the horse gaits. Reining is often described as a Western form of dressage riding, as it requires the horse to be responsive and in tune with its rider, whose aids should not be easily seen, and judges the horse on its ability to perform a set pattern of movements." -Wikipedia

Now we know :D

In real life, people are a lot less heroic. But with horses... Well, they are all great.
