A Little Of Our Story
What is the World of Reining?
Aside from being one big family that spans across different continents! Reining is a judged event designed to show the athletic ability of a ranch-type horse within the confines of a show arena. In NRHA competition, contestants are required to run one of ten approved patterns.
Each pattern includes small slow circles, large fast circles, flying lead changes, rollbacks over the hocks, 360 degree spins done in place, and exciting sliding stops that are the hallmark of the reining horse.
The NRHA Judging system is recognized as the leading format for judging an equine event that combines technical and stylistic elements coupled with consideration of "degree of difficulty".
WCRA us an affiliate member of the NRHA. As such, WCRA uses the rules and guidelines of NRHA for its shows, with the exception of the modified patterns. The modified patterns are used for novice horse/rider in circumstances where the horse/rider is new to reining and is not accustomed to all of the traditional moves. (i.e. rollbacks and /or lead changes).
