Editing Reining (section)

==The horse==
Reining may be performed by any horse, but the [[Stock horse]] breeds, particularly the [[American Quarter Horse]], dominate the field. The reining horse must be agile, quick, and very responsive to the rider's [[riding aids|commands]]. Powerful hindquarters are required to hold position in a sliding stop or a rollback, excellent coordination is required for proper spins and flying lead changes. Correct leg [[horse conformation|conformation]] is essential, as the limbs and joints are often under considerable stress in competition. The horse must also have an excellent temperament to perform with both speed and precision.
