reining
Guiding via straps
Reining is a Western riding competition where horse and rider perform a precise pattern of circles, spins, and sliding stops.
The sport showcases the horse's athleticism and responsiveness to subtle cues: She's been competing in reining since she was twelve.
Separately, reining is the present participle of rein—to guide or restrain: reining in spending, reining in a horse.
