Here is where the problem occurs with the Reining spin movement described above. The Reining horse does not often pick up one of his hind legs when turning and/or move one or both legs backwards. When trained to move in this manner, the horse is likely to injure his pivoting leg, especially when turning in a rough, uneven or rocky terrain because it could jam up against a rock or in a hole. Furthermore, the hind leg(s) that moves backward could easily get caught on uneven terrain, causing the horse to trip and fall backwards.

I have observed in my neighborhood a man obsessed with Reining. One year, he sent a dozen horses to be trained for reining by a famous trainer. When the year was over, nine of those horses (two-year-olds) came back completely destroyed beyond further use of any kind. However, one of the horses managed to make it to the worlds and finished third. To the man, it was all worth it. The racing industry is very tough on horses but in comparison with the Reining it is the horse heaven.

En zo kun je over alle vormen van paardensport een leuk verhaal schrijven waar een kern van waarheid in zit.
Niet dat het de misstanden en mishandelingen goed praat overigens hoor!
