What are the components of the rollback? If you said the stop and rollback, you are wrong.  What about circles? Simple: 3 circles and a lead change. Wrong again.

The 2022 NRHA Open Reining Futurity demonstrated that rollbacks and circles incurred the highest rate of score deviation in the pattern. Brian Dygert and Jody Brainard guide us through these maneuvers and help us understand what makes them more challenging to judge.

What causes greater variances in scores among judges at all levels?  This episode dives deeper into maneuver spreads and focuses on the data and statistical deviations in the Circles and Rollbacks.  Reiners, Cow Horses & working western fans: this episode is for you.  If you are a reining exhibitor, judge, organizational leader, reining horse owner or professional trainer, this episode of the Cowboy Office Show uncovers years of judges insights into understanding of the horsemanship and judging expertise that goes into these complex maneuvers.

IN THIS EPISODE THE COWBOYS DISCUSS:

Is it time to separate maneuvers?

Does tail function (or lack thereof) affect maneuver evaluation?

How does the quality of motion affect scoring in the circles and rollbacks in reining?

Chelsea Sutton of ConsultMent Agency joins Brian & Jody as they discuss the judging system and its impact on the sport of reining and level of competition.
