Though the APHA and NRHA rule books thoroughly outline the scoring procedures for reining classes, it can take hours of practice to recognized the nuanced differences between a 0 and +1/2-worthy maneuver, or catch the penalty accumulations for an out-of-lead circle.
“Watching these resources, scoring yourself and then comparing your thoughts to actual professionals is a great way to fully grasp what’s required of you and your horse in competition,” APHA Director of Judges Dave Dellin said. “By improving your understanding of the reining scoring system, you can then glean more from feedback provided of your own runs and further work to improve your performances.”
