What Breed Make a Good Reining Horse?
Any horse trained to cattle work can be a reining horse. Warmbloods are the horses most often used in reining, since they are the horses traditionally chosen for cattle and ranch work. Quarter horses, appaloosas, palominos, foxtrotters and paints are some of the horses used in reining. Arabians, while fast, have usually been bred with cold-blooded draft-type horses to create the warmbloods of today’s most popular riding and reining breeds. Reining lessons for horse and rider are available from reputable trainers.
