EQUITANA Reining Masters Come and see 25 of Australia's most skilled horse and rider combinations compete for a prize pool of $15,000 in the EQUITANA Reining Masters. This discipline displays the intricate movements required from the working horse, and is judged on the speed, skill and attitude of the horse whilst mastering a set pattern. Rider and mount combinations perform incredible spins, sliding stops and roll backs at amazing speeds that have to be seen to be believed! The immense popularity of Reining was confirmed last year when it was chosen to be a demonstration event at the Sydney Olympic Games. Come and see for yourself why Reining is such a hit with the crowds. Date: Thursday 22 November 2001 Venue: Melbourne Exhibition Centre, Melbourne Victoria Who is John Lyons? John Lyons is the most recognised and respected trainer in the US. He has effectively trained and solved problems with every breed of horse and every riding discipline. Why is John so successful? John's practical and gentle "training without trauma" method, which has had documented success around the world since 1981, produces amazing results for all disciplines and levels of riding. Using only everyday equipment such as halter, lead rope, bridle and saddle, John's conditioned responses encourage willingness, softness and suppleness, that will stay with the horse throughout its life.
