I am looking for a reining mentor that would like to help me with questions and help me find possible resources that will help me become educated in the reining world. I can ride, but know I have limitations on reining lingual and proper understanding. I also realize ques given to a horse in reining are very specific for understanding and concentrating. I have reining patterns, but that is only the tip of the ice berg.Kaseyn is doing well and I want to be able to keep up with him. I will be recieving lessons from Rod twice a month, but realize I need more informations. Video's, books, any wisconsin trainers that also do lessons.


Any help would be appreciated or any direction to recieve some.

You might check with this group Midwest Reining Assoc. .

thank you I will check.

I bought several finals DVDs from past NRHA futurities from Waltenberry. They used to to the video there. They're only $50. much less than what Seehorse charges for Nationals or Scottsdale videos. finals is 25-30 horses.

Youtube is also a good place to watch reining runs and some interviews. if you do a search on reining or NRHA.

joining NRHA will get you the rulebook (which explains maneuvers and penalties) and a subsciption to the REINER magazine.

The NRHA futurity starts tomorrow in OKC and runs thru Dec. 1. Last year they offered a live webcast for a fee, but I didn't have a fast enough DSL for it to work. Too much stopping and delay. It was from Mustang video. I haven't noticed if anyone is offering it this year.

There's an Inside Reining show shown on RFDTV and you can find a link to the schedule at the NRHA site.

I'm also told that scribing is a great way to learn some more. I've never done it and I don't think you could do it without a basic knowledge, but something to think about for next summer. Eleanor could help you with that.

Oh thank you for all the great ideas and directions. I am on my way.

Happy Thanksgiving.
