I am interesting in Reining lessons or find out more about riding and learning. I live in NJ… Any suggestions? Recommend anyone?
Thanks.
Here is a link to a webcast of a show finishing up Sunday 5/12 at the NJ Dream Park.

You can see the schedule at www.eprha.com and there should also be links to some trainers’ websites in the area.
I’m on the other coast, so I don’t have any personal experience with any of the trainers in your area, but thought the information might be helpful.
When I found my first reining instructor, I found him by going to a show and watching to see which students were winning. I asked the riders who their trainers were and traced back to my instructor that way.
Highly recommend Jeremy Gates,

I have been a client of a majority of reining trainers throughout the North East…
I would recommend Rocky Dare, he is by far one of the best reining trainers that you will find in NJ and along the northeast region. I have been in the reining industry for over 20 years and been through most of the top trainers and he is by far the best. I had my horse in training for over 8 years, and guided me and my horse to several NRHA and affilliiate championships. I would also agree with the other comments that Jeremy Gates, is a very experienced and talented trainer, and he would be my second recommendation. But Rocky Dare is within a reasonable distance. I believe that he only takes clients in who own reining horses already that are in his training program. But contact him anyway, just to be sure.
If you are looking for lessons on a reining horse without owning one, I have a reining horse I give lessons on at my horse facility, “Spinning W Ranch”, for beginners to advanced riders interested in advancing their ability to ride a reining horse. If interested, you can contact me via email: gtongyai@gmail.com or call: (954)648-9130. I am located in Medford, NJ. Good luck with your searches!

This…I had a horse with Jeremy and he taught my son. Total class act.
Double J Ranches. We are in NEPA. Stand 2 stallions, and breed about a dozen mares a year. We have produced 12 world or reserve world champions in over 20 years of breeding. Highlights include 3 NRHA futurity champions, #3 youth ride in history of NRHA and specializing in long lasting reining horses trained by teaching, not intimidation.

Are you taking any to the NRBC?

Not this year. We typically don’t nominate ours for the NRBC because their nominations require the stud also be nominated for that year and it gets pricey when you have a dozen a year and trying to pick which ones are the “good ones” that you spend the extra money on as weanlings. We NRHA nominate though.
Also tough to get out to Texas in April. (Foaling and breeding season, plus my boss is an accountant (tax season) and long haul for our horses.
Sorry for the long drawn out answer!! :X

Our stable will go there with several horses, hoping they will have good runs.
It is over 10 hours for us, expect way too far for you.
Lots of good horses there.
I hope the OP found enough answers to find someone to ride with.
