Hi! My name is MegaBucks and my e-mail address is: EEYOREpocy@yahoo.com. Welcome to my training page. Here you can get your horse(s) trained in Western Reining and Hunter U'S/O'F. Before you sign your horse up for training could you please read the description of the discipline, just to make sure that it is really what you want. Also, if you would like to board your horse with me at Whispering Winds Acres, during the time that I am training your horse, then please add $100 to the training fee, and and let me know! Thanks! ~Western/Neck Reining~ Western reining, or 'neck reining', is when the horse turns away from the pressure on his/her neck. Example: Lets say that you want to turn left. When neck reining you would cross your hand holding the reins (usually the left hand) and cross it over to the left side of the horse's neck, putting slight pressure on the right side of the horse's neck with the right rein. This causes the horse to turn to the left, moving away from the pressure on his/her neck. Horses should be at LEAST 3 years old, and he/she must have completed 1 month of Western Pleasure Training. To train a horse in Reining it will take 3-5 depending on the horse. It will cost $50 per week. And keep in mind that even if you horse is already trained in reining getting him trained more would make him even better at it, and more likly to do good at shows. ~Breeds Suitable~ While pretty much any horse/pony can be trained in Western Reining you will most often see these breeds competing... *Quarter Horses *Arabians *Apaloosas *Paints/Pintos *POAs (Pony Of The Americas) *Thoroughbreds ~Hunter Under Saddle/Over Fences~ A preliminary class for English riding disciplines in which judges evaluate a hunter-type horse on the flat, at a walk, trot and canter.
