The thing I've always wanted to do and never have it to try reining...We go the gaited horse route though, so doubt if I'll ever do it. One of mine has a lot of cow herding sense though..she does it on her own when I run weanlings in the pasture with her. Now, that is funny to watch!
Reining would be fun!!!! Have you ever rode a cutting horse? Now that is awesome!!! It has been quite awhile since I have done it but would love to again!!!!
The "little" ride I refered to in an earlier post, we were riding here at home in the pasture and he kept jigging and acting stupid then all of a sudden he took the bit in his teeth and away we went!!!! A quarter of a mile at a dead run! Couldnt stop him, couldnt turn him, nothing!!! At one point I saw a tree branch coming, seriously thought about bailing off until I looked down and saw how fast the ground was moving under us!!! So I got laid over as far as I could, still caught the branch across my left ear, bloodied up a little bit. Let me tell you, Mr. Ben got to do a whole bunch of running after that but it was on the end of a lunge line then. He hasnt taken off with me since then!!!!
