SRHA Walk Trot Reining

 The SRHA is pleased to introduce a new Walk-Trot Reining class to the Summer Series for 2025! This class is a great way to get riders who are not yet able to lope confidently into the showpen and practicing reining-type patterns.

Class details and rules are as follows:

• All riders must possess an SRHA Youth membership.

• Walk Trot Reining is open to riders who are 9 years of age or younger as of January 1st of the current year.

• One adult may enter the arena with the rider for support and is allowed to coach the rider during the run.

• Riders entering Walk Trot Reining may only enter that class and can not compete in any other classes at that show.

• Walk Trot Reining is not concurrent with any other class

• Although this class is intended to give young riders their first opportunities to perform in the reining pen, their runs will be judged and official placings will be awarded.

• The Walk Trot Reining class will run NRHA Short Stirrup or WPR Para Reining patterns.

• The pattern must be trotted; prolonged loping will result in a 0 score.

• Riders may show on any horse, use 1 and/or 2 hands with any legal bit, and use any type of reins.
