I really think that the new reining patterns are better the harder they are. It also makes if a better class to judge. I never heard any discussion on the new...
Hello everyone, lets review this comment: Those Shingletons really can't ride at all, can they? ;) shane First off, i want to say that Shane, i feel that your...
Alex, I'm sure Shane meant no harm in his comment. By typing the wink smilie meant he was just kidding and I doubt Shalene and Mitch will be disgusted with...
The heck if I know why they changed them!!! I've had to do those patterns at a few shows out here and they're nuts! Why didn't someone ask us first?!?!!? I...
Alex, my main point wasn't how long it would take. I didn't say anything about social time. My biggest concern is that for the majority of POAs, the patterns...
I had never done reining on my junior pony King, but hey, I went out there this weekend and did my best. Isn't that what POA is all about? Going out there...
The following has been taken from BOD Meeting Minutes as recorded in the POAC magazine. The change to NRHA patterns has been discussed for quite some time now....
"And what makes you think that it is "entirely too complicated for our breed"? Do you think our ponies are stupid, incapable, or just "too slow"? Our POA's...
Thanks Courtney! To me the best reason I found would be "... to improve standards of performance..." I guess that the new patterns WOULD work for that-- with...
I agree..... they are really tough and take forever! It is a little strange that we didn't hear anything about it. I thought the old patterns were fine. Is...
I see your point too, and I think it's good that they are changing things and it's good for us to learn harder patterns. But like Shane has said, we aren't...
Shane it was discussed quite alot at the conventioin, as to make it more uniformed across the county and everywhere, the reining patterns are those of the...
Alex it was a joke regarding the irony of the situation. I'm sure if you called the Shingletons they would not be offended seeming how Shane is good friends...
You can now print the Order form for the gaming shirts fundraiser! http://geocities.com/l_shane_l/orderform.GIF There is more information on the YPOA website. ...
shane, you are so right, the peolpe that go into a reining class and do their little pleasure loap around in circles and do seperate 360's for each of their...
I was in Ohio this weekend and saturday and monday there were reining patterns. Now you would think the members, let alone the judges should know what the new...
Apparently the same problem is happening all over the place--- The only thing you can do is make sure your local clubs (and clubs wherever you travel) have...
I think that they should have kept some of the old patterns so they could have been used at smaller shows with the option of using the NHRA patterns too. A lot...
Randi, that's a great idea too. At one time some of our more difficult/complicated patterns (like the old pattern 8) were only to be used at the International...
I was looking at the rulebook and it reads as follows: "Credit should be given for smoothness, finesse, attitude, QUICKNESS, and authority of performing...
I added a photo album and some pictures from the 2005 Eastern Classic- if anyone else has some pics from that show feel free to upload them to the album! :) ...

Hello, Alex is doing a little bit better. He is home for the time being and on Friday, June 10th, he will be going in to have his reconstructive surgery....
