To rein a horse is not only to guide him, but to
control his every movement. In reining, a rider is required to
negotiate one of 9 - 11 patterns, (depending on breed
association) which include prescribed maneuvers of stops, spins,
rollbacks, lead changes and circles at a lope. The horse should
be willfully guided with little or no resistance. The horse is
judged on movements, mastery of pattern and attitude, and is scored
0-infinity, with 70 denoting average.
