This is the second part of Al Dunning's series on western training and reining.
The
Progressive Steps of Foundation Training and
Advanced Reining
Techniques complete the series.
This segment covers the step-by-step process
necessary in developing a successful reining prospect. Subjects covered include selecting a reining prospect, equipment, the basics that help
build good circles, lead changes, perfecting circles, backing, shoeing,
stopping, turnarounds and rollbacks. Al stresses the importance of round, symmetrical circles, teaches you how to achieve them and also how to seamlessly
ride from fast to slow. Well-detailed techniques also include the major elements
of reining: straight backing, speed, smooth stops, quick turnarounds and
explosive rollbacks. Al Dunning's techniques
are well-proven and don't contain any magic or secrets. This series is in-depth
and comprehensive. Although these techniques are specifically geared
toward the future reining horse, they are also applicable to anyone involved in
western disciplines who seek suppleness, athleticism and obedience in their
horse.
Al Dunning is a well-known professional trainer of performance champions. He
has won 20 World Championships and 8 Reserve Championships, as well as being
named the 1996 AQHA Professional Horseman of the Year. Many of his students have
gone on to win performance titles!
