Let's begin by defining Reinersue Horsemanship and Body Control Foundation Reining Training©. The 2 key components in my training program (the 2 key areas I will share and other interesting information).

Reinersue Horsemanship is a term that includes my groundwork program, body control foundation program, and reining program using my approach and philosophy in working with horses that communicates with the horse in a way that the horse can easily understand. It's effective horsemanship with an influence of aussie horsemanship (Clinton Anderson) and other great master trainers like Bob Avila, Larry Trocha and Shawn Flarida.

Natural Horsemanship: A term defined by Pat Parelli.

 Body Control Foundation Reining Training© is my progressive, step-by-step training program to instill basic training (often referred to as 'a handle') on a horse with an emphasis on body control and reining techniques or exercises.

The result is a horse with a very solid foundation where the rider is:

  • able to communicate well with the horse (in a way the horse understands),
  • have a great respectful relationship with the horse based on trust,
  • excellent body control (ie. position the horse's body where needed),
  • the horse enjoys , is willing &is part of the team,
  • and understands &executes reining maneuvers.
I, personally combine the 2 philosophies into a unique program or style of training that works well with rider and horse.

It makes for the best horse to ride. What a thrill and privilege!!

Update: Here's an extended version of an article I wrote for the ORHA Slider on both topics. Here's an article I wrote on Effective Horsemanship vs. Wimpy Horsemanship. For more information on my views of body control, please read this article. Please see side bar or select by category listing.

Let's get started!
Putting my spin on a training program to include effective horsemanship, body control, foundation training, and reining.

Welcome!




 









Welcome to the Foundation Reining Training Centre with your host Susan Dahl,
- a trainer, coach, published author, clinician, writer and competitor.

Hello. I've been a reining trainer and exhibitor for over 2 decades. 2012 will be my 20th year! To give you an idea of how long I've been in reining, my NRHA (National Reining Horse Association) number is 834! I know that NRHA's membership numbers are well over 70,000!
  
 
2008, Jan. 6th to be exact, I gave up my non-pro card and became a professional trainer again.
2008 has been an exciting year for me with lots of horses in for training. I was also priviledged to give reining demos at the 2008 International Plowing Match in Teeswater, Ontario.
 
Reining is such an exciting sport! See NRHA.com and Reining Canada for more information.
 
And to me.... training all types of horses using body control and reining fundamentals is even more exciting!

Over the years I have worked hard -studying, learning, showing, trial and error, attending clinics, coached by professionals to develop a personal program that works for me. This is a never ending process for which I feel passionate about.

On this website, I will share with you that advice information which I also share with my students: horse and human.
 
"It's my personal spin on things."
 
We will explore the big picture about what it is like to be a better horseperson through reinersue (effective) horsemanship using body control, reining techniques and exercises.
 
Reinersue horsemanship can be applied to any horse, any discipline, any event as it serves to create an excellent foundation for you and your horse.
 
Both you and your horse will become a better team: better rider and better trained horse which is a blessing.

This is definitely my passion that I want to share with you! Obviously it involves horse and human psychology, horse and human philosophy and horse and human behaviour.
 
I hope you enjoy and share your thoughts and experiences with me and all of us here so we all learn together!
 
For more information on my very different and innovative, fun approach to training, and bitting, please contact me at reinersue@hotmail.com.
 
Information package available.

 
Thumbs up for learning!
