Reining is the Wild West – exciting, fast and furious – where athletes and horses deliver spectacular, breathtaking performances true to the traditions of cowboy showmanship. The combination of tremendous technique and agility is mixed with a hint of nostalgic bravado and laid-back swagger.

FEI World and European Reining Championships

Reining youth experienced a tough 2020, as they had to go through the year without a single event and with the FEI European Championships for Juniors and Young riders in Givrins (SUI) cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

Senior Reining athletes were not better off as they experienced a lean year too. Not only did they see their dream of a medal at the FEI World Championship in Givrins dissipate, the pandemic led to a cancellation of all events of the year.
