About this video

GB team members Francesca Sternberg and Doug Allen demonstrate advanced reining patterns prior to the Euro Champs' '09 with their top horses Lexus and Jack. Francesca shows 'large fast, slow small circles' to perfection while Doug shows off his stallion Jack's sliding stops. Both demonstrate spins and they explain how each move is judged. (Doug wins team bronze a few weeks later.) Before the ridden work, however, they talk to Fiona Price about this little known, big money sport in which GB does surprisingly well. We find out about the Quarter Horse and discover how a quintessentially English girl got hitched to an all American guy!

Sheltie 13 Aug 2011 Fantastic! Just watching this makes me wish I was thirty years younger and had a quarter horse all of my own!
Fiona Price 22 Feb 2011 Wow! Lucky you!
georgia101 22 Feb 2011 I had the pleasure of having a lesson today on the beautiful Lexus after watching this last year at Sterling Ranch U.K. I was itching to have a go as a birthday treat! I couldn't believe my luck when I was told I could ride Lexus, and she was amazing. She's now 20 and refuses to be put into retirement! The responsiveness and genuine nature of these horses is fantastic and I can't wait to get into a Western saddle again sometime soon!
campbh 8 Nov 2009 Great video! After owning pleasure type Quarter Horses for a couple of years, I sat on a reining horse for the first time yesterday, awesome and after just one session I'm beginning to realise that performing reining manoeuvres at any form of speed and with any form of style may quite possibly be the most challenging thing ever!
Carmel4ie 31 Oct 2009 That looks like real fun! Makes me want to have a go!!
