Recognized as a sport in 1949 by the American Quarter Horse Association (AQHA), the world’s largest equestrian organization currently counting more than 350,000 members and nearly five million horses, Reining is the product of a fascinating history and enchanting cultural phenomenon. Indeed the likes of the Rollback, the Spin or even the Sliding Stop find their roots not just in the cattle herding traditions of the Americas but as far back as the hacienda system of medieval Spain where what we now consider the cowboy lifestyle was born.
