Coaching AL DUNNING’S POINTERS


SPIN A Winning


There’s plenty to think about mid way through a spin, but this rider has got it pretty much nailed, writes Al Dunning


TACK & ATTIRE


This rider has some classy attire, and she is outfitted to win. Her tack is clean and appropriate for reining


HORSE- MANSHIP


Doreen is a good rider and her horsemanship mechanics are accurate. She is sitting square in the saddle with a slight twist into the turn


MODELS Rider: Doreen Allison.


Doreen competes in amateur reining classes Horse: My Moms A


Colonel, a 1998 stallion by Les Olena Too


WRAPS The horse has leg


protection for the turns and stops but, with the deep cross over of the


front legs, Doreen might try using knee boots
