A Reining Horse is a specialized breed trained for a competitive equestrian discipline known as reining. This sport showcases a horse's ability to perform precise maneuvers, including spins, stops, and circles, all while maintaining a smooth and controlled style. Reining is often compared to dressage but emphasizes speed and athleticism. Competitors are judged on their horse's performance, including the execution of patterns and the horse's responsiveness to cues. The goal is to demonstrate the horse's agility and the rider's skill in guiding the horse through complex movements.
