Reining is a bit like Western dressage. In international reining, a rider has to pick between a few different patterns (like dressage tests), learn it and then perform the movements required in front of judges. Some of the movements include sliding stops (where the horse gallops and then slides to a complete stop), canter circles, spins and flying changes.
Here are some reference pictures to give you a few little ideas.
To get more inspiration, have a look at some videos on YouTube, there are plenty!
Now we will have a look at some models suitable for reining! There aren't many widely available ones that are perfect for reining - for example there is a mould where the horse is performing a sliding stop - but most galloping models look good!
Frankel/Secretariat: These two are excellent for reining - galloping fast and furiously.
This is a rare mould which will not be easily found:
Big Chex To Cash: Is quite a good horse for reining
Frankel, Secretariat and Big Chex to Cash are some of the main horses I can think of that would be suitable for reining! Big Chex to Cash would be an excellent casual reining horse as well.
To finish off, here are some reference pictures which could help you with your reining set ups!
Also refer to the ones at the top of the page!
