If you are familiar with the horse world, you likely know what reining is. If you aren’t familiar with this incredible sport, learn the fundamentals of it here.

A rider who competes in freestyle reining has room to improvise, but still has to perform required moves that are part of a normal reining pattern.

In addition, the pattern is choreographed to a specially picked out song. The rider almost always wears a costume that complements the song that they have chosen.

Check out these freestyle reining performances!
