Rein Contest
When showing at a reining contest?
So next show season I’m planing on doing reining shows for the first time. I was wondering if their is a proper rein method for shows. Do I use the split reins with neck reining like a pleasure rider or do I use romel reins with neck reining. I don’t know much about reining yet hence waiting a whole year to show but I want to make sure I practice the way I would show. I know they neck rein as opposed to direct or indirect at least according to every thing I’ve seen so far but I can never get a good enough look at their hands.
Thanks
You could do either. It will be more common to see split reins in reining, and romel reins in working cow horse, but either would be within the rules for reining.
