What does it take to bring a seasoned reining horse back into show-ready form after time off? In this session, Ryan Rushing climbs aboard a 5-year-old mare by Magnum Chic Dream and walks you through his process of getting her dialed back in for competition. With this mare, the focus is on building confidence and eliminating hesitation in the turnaround. Ryan breaks down the importance of having a horse stand quiet before initiating spins, maintaining correct body position through the turn, and staying honest through the corners. He also incorporates rollback work to sharpen her responsiveness and body control. Along the way, he highlights what the mare already excels at—her strong stops and smooth, consistent circles—and how he uses those strengths to support her weaker areas.
