this video is my favorite. i love pretty much all western and english disciplines and this is a great way to show the similarities between reining and dressage. also i like how this is proof that english is not harder than western, and vice versa.

I think this is a wonderful video! It shows that each discipline has its own way of doing things and that they are similar. Not one is better nor easier than the other. English and Western Unite!

That is really great! That they are able to switch in the middle and ride a horse with a completely different discipline.

OMG! That is totally awesome! I loved how they can ride both disciplines. I loved the spins & the extended trot- it was even cooler when a cowboy rides a dressage horse and a dressage rider can ride a reining horse.
