Our Vision

Reining Canada promotes and encourages the showing and breeding of reining horses. It endeavors to keep you well informed about reining and to sustain your interest for the wonderful horses that enable you to live your passion. We will support you all the way to the International Reining competition.

About Reining

Reining began on the working cattle ranches, where a cowboy or vaquero used their horses to gather, move and hold cattle on the open range. These horses had to be athletic, quick and agile. They had to be extremely responsive to a very light rein. In years gone by, cowboys and vaqueros took pride in their hard working, well-trained horses. Challenges often arose as to who had the best horse. The most talented riders would put their horses through a series of stops and turns, letting the watching crowd determine which rider and horse were the best. These displays are the forerunners of today's reining competitions.

Reining Canada

The purpose of the Corporation is to promote and encourage the showing and breeding of reining horses, to set standards for evaluation, training, and showing of reining horses, to encourage the education and development of people interested in reining in Canada.

Our Sponsors

Our Reining Canada sponsors have been with us for many years and we ask that you patronize them whenever you can.
