The Sport That Stops the Crowd

Reining is the only western performance discipline recognized by the FEI as an international sport. A great sliding stop can silence an arena full of people. A perfect pattern โ€” circles, spins, lead changes, rollbacks, and that stop โ€” is one of the most athletic things a horse and rider can do together.

The Reining Horse Bulletin Board brings together 2,000+ members who live this sport โ€” trainers showing at the NRHA Futurity, non-pro riders chasing their first buckle, breeders standing the next great stallion, and fans who just love watching horses slide. It's run by Bridle & Bit Magazine, which has covered the reining industry since 1978.

What the Community Covers

Reining in Arizona

Arizona is one of the strongest reining states in the country. The Sun Country Circuit at WestWorld of Scottsdale draws competitors from across the West every winter and spring. Year-round mild weather means trainers can work horses outdoors almost every day of the year โ€” a major advantage over states with harsh winters or summer humidity.

Top reining trainers operate throughout the Phoenix metro, Scottsdale, Rio Verde, Wickenburg, and the East Valley. The state's concentration of NRHA professionals, quality breeding programs, and proximity to major shows in Oklahoma City, Fort Worth, and Las Vegas makes Arizona a hub for the sport at every level.
