Etymology

The term 'reining' has its roots in the Western riding tradition that developed in North America, particularly among cattle ranchers in the 19th century. The word itself derives from 'rein,' which refers to the leather strap used to control a horse. Reining initially focused on practical skills necessary for herding cattle and managing horses in everyday tasks. Over time, it evolved into a formalized sport recognized by various equestrian organizations. The National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) was established in 1966 to promote the discipline and establish standardized rules for competitions. The sport continues to grow in popularity, with events held worldwide that celebrate the athleticism and skill of both horse and rider.
