In the show ring, every run is one of thirteen NRHA approved reining patterns. When someone executes a pattern it is called a run or a go. Each pattern is composed of precise maneuvers designed to demonstrate the degree of which the horse is responding. Each pattern obtains five main maneuvers.

“Why! Why does it have to be this way? Why can’t people just treat horses like real living things!” I screamed at my riding instructor. “Because, some people just don’t think that way,” she replied to my outburst with surprising calmness. Before I knew it, I grabbed a fistful of my new horse, Zeus’s mane and swung onto him bareback. We galloped for what felt like hours, but was only a few minutes. I ended up at a place I didn’t know existed, another horse farm. A boy maybe 5 years older…

However, this is typically not the case in the Paint Horse industry.
