Reining is the fastest growing FEI sport According to a recent news report in Horse &
Hound magazine, reining is the fastest growing
equestrian sport. With the numbers of riders
taking part in the discipline and FEI reining
competitions rising considerably, interest in
the sport is at an all time high.
For anyone interested in learning more
about the sport, a copy of Reining Dreams is a
must. The book — the second in
LewisHarding’s series focusing on the seven
FEI disciplines — was published in May 2011.
Written by top UK reining competitor
Francesca Sternberg, the book outlines the
techniques behind the required movements
alongside impressive action photographs.
