10/ MAY 2023 THE RIDER
Pro and Non-Pro Reiner Article Series Spring has sprung and there’s an exciting show season ahead!
Sharon:At the time of writ- ing this, Jen was in sunny Ontario with the crocuses and daffodils blooming and I was in warm, wet and rainy England. Horses on ei- ther side of the Atlantic are shedding their winter fur coats and only then do we remember not to wear lip gloss if we are grooming them standing down wind. All this can mean only one thing - spring is here! And with Spring -
means show season is upon us!
Jen: Our horses have been at home all winter, and now is the time to get them out and about to school them at the start of the show season. We were just at the Home- town Bonanza in Ancaster in early April, getting our horses out for the first time this year. It was a great experi-
ence to expose the horse and rider partnerships to time in the show pen with paid warmups.
The paid
warmups helped the rider gain valuable insight on the status of the partnership

with their horse; looking at the team and weighing up weaknesses and strengths. After the paid warm ups, the team then put into practice all they’ve been working on over the winter, entering both ranch riding nd reining classes. It’s great to get out and
practice, because the more comfortable and confident the team is about their job in and out of the show arena,
the easier it is for the rider to calm their nerves about the whole show experience. That, in turn, will give the horse confidence. We at J & J Reining
will be hosting our first show of the season June 2 - 4 with a full day of paid warmups and open rides on Thursday June 1! We are featuring a
Freestyle reining class on Friday, two Ranch Riding
Classes with Non Pro & Open divisions on the Fri- day & Sunday, a $14,000 added Derby on the Satur- day and two slates of NRHA & ORHA classes over the three days! The June show also
launches our J&J Reining
cles written by Jen Jonas of Jonas Performance Horses (Pro) and Sharon Jones of Be A Better You (Non-Pro). Together, they are J&J Rein- ing Inc. Both Jen and Sharon
are believers in continual learning – if you’re not learning you’re not grow- ing.
