About this video

This is an eye opener into a very different sport and one in which horse and rider can dress to impress and really look the part. British Young Rider Jessica, shows off her fabulous outfits - you can forget bling, this is super sparkle! Then British senior team member Francesca Sternberg shows us the incredible artwork and craftsmanship on the horses tack, explains why the bits have long shanks and how Western saddles are fitted. She also shows us the pony's very unusual footwear and explains to Fiona Price how the Quarter Horse is built to last and developed for the job. Those muscles are somthing. Eat your heart out Arnie Schwarzenegger!

Fiona Price 6 Nov 2009 Doug and Francesca pointed out that they work on a much looser sand surface that allows for sliding. There were lots of horses turned out when we were there filming, but I would guess they are more cautious in poor weather.
christina 6 Nov 2009 Fascinating video. Do you need a special arena surface to train the reining horse on & how do they cope with the special sliding hind shoes out hacking or in the field?
Silver Snaffles 6 Nov 2009 What a fantastic contrast to the normal riding gear - Thanks so much for giving us a chance to see what goes on in the sport of reining - I shall certainly try and follow the activities of the English riders online - and if a chance came up to go and watch an event here in the South would be very interested.
