Reining 4" Round Needlepoint Canvas

4" Round Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvas on 18 mesh.

Reining as a sport came from the Old West culture where horses were a vital part of every working livestock ranch.
.
Horses needed to be sturdy, quick, responsive, and agile to be able to herd and move cattle and other livestock across the range. A Reining competition essentially shows off the skills and athletic abilities necessary in the working ranch horse, but does so within the confines of a show pen and the movements you see in competition today have become extremely precise and highly refined.
.
There are a total of 13 approved official Reining patterns, and horses exhibit individually-performing, compulsory movements which include small slow circles, large fast circles, flying changes of lead, roll-backs, quick 360-degree spins, and the ever-exciting sliding stops which have become the hallmark of the Reining horse.

Includes hand painted needlepoint canvas only, no threads or stitching included. Colors may appear different based on screen resolution.
