“Reinin’ is a series of patterns where you lope circles at different speeds, change directions on a dime, and do slidin’ stops, spins, and such,” Rio said. “Takes a lot of skill for both the rider and the horse. Ain’t no Sunday ride in the park!”
Trent added his two cents. “I heard them Quarter Horse folks is real snooty. Like their shit don’t stink. Think their way a ridin’ is gospel. They ain’t very social with outsiders.”
“Hold on there, boys,” Mack said. “Don’t go judgin’ what ya don’t know for certain. I’m sure folks outside the rodeo circuit think we’re a bit stuck on ourselves as well.”
Most of the staff of Stallions and Studs rode rodeo during the off season. In fact Lex and Trent were fresh off the circuit.
