Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. One of the most popular western disciplines, reining is best known for what?

Answer: sliding stops, spins and roll backs

This is a very crowd pleasing event with lots of action even a novice can follow.

2. What breed has the highest number of horses competing in National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) reining events?

Answer: Quarter Horses

While all breeds are accepted and can show in NRHA events, registered Quarter Horses are the most abundant.

3. What is the "common" name for the shoes reining horses wear on their hind feet?

4. According to the NRHA handbook, each maneuver is given a score, what are the ranges for these scores?

5. Which of the following is not normally part of a traditional NRHA reining pattern?

Trotting can get you a penalty in your reining pattern. Most patterns are done using the lope or gallop.

Bucking or rearing will bring you a 5 point penalty for each
occurrence, but not an automatic zero unless it continues to the point where the judge can no longer determine if you are on pattern or not.
