Brian Dygert is former president of the National Reining Horse Association (NRHA) and has been promoting the international appeal of Reining and helping pursue

Olympic approval of the sport for the last 2 decades. Dygert credits the international and domestic appeal of Reining to “Good

prize money, is simple in the sense of only requiring an excellent footing base, and it is made intrinsically fair through the innovative

points system…”In 2010, the NRHA Open

Futurity purse paid $125,000 to the champion and a total of nearly $12 million in purse and awards to all show contestants (NRHA). This is attractive money in an economy where numbers have dwindled in all equestrian disciplines—except Reining—which has been dynamically growing in the world equestrian community since the mid 1980s and exponentially since 2000. Between 2004 and 2010 international membership in the NRHA alone has more than doubled.

Of course the romance (nay obsession) of the American West factors prominently into Reining’s international appeal. Essential to the American West was the breed development of the American Quarter Horse, a stock horse breed, bred for working the land and cattle ranches during the expansion of the early American frontier. During down time, cowboys would “round-up” and show the test of their skill and the agility of their horse in the early days of rodeo, which ultimately, is where the rudimentary discipline of Reining began (in an extremely small nutshell).

Reining brings to horsemanship a purely American export and the essential foundation of the American West, American stele—the cowboy and his horse. Without exhaustively repeating the story of early Spanish vaqueros and the history of the cowboy, speaking

directly to the horse itself: “Reiners…were horses that had too much gas for pleasure, not enough ‘cow’ for cutting…” as quoted by Bryant Pace, Gavin Ehringer “NRHA, The Reiner,” February 2000.) Taking this into consideration, it is not surprising one of the greatest appeals drawing interest into the United States reining

Bryant Pace is a horseman’s horseman and has been riding horses for his entire life; he is a world-class competitor with multiple NRHA World and Reserve World Champion Reining titles behind his name and is currently head trainer at the Darling 888

Ranch in Princeton, Kentucky. In the 1980s Pace began

focusing primarily in reining. Since that time he has seen the sport grow, change and prosper. He has literally ridden and trained reining horses around the world, and notes that in the 1980s, the reining community overseas was not

both in technical ability and more importantly in the quality of good reining horse breed stocks available (of which there was essentially none).

Today, Pace notes that the international reining community is developing more self-

it develops a good breed stock in its own right—although the big shows and big horses are still to be found on United States soil.

The sport of Reining was formally created in 1966 with the formation of the National Reining Horse Association. In 2000, the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) recognized Reining as

was added to the World Equestrian Games. By 2006, WEG reining events were being featured to sell out crowds and today, it is being

and a NRHA Hall of Fame member as well as been both an AQHA and NRHA judge and international clinician. He has been an active witness as the sport has evolved from Quarter Horse shows

competitions”) into the domestic and international expansion of what the NRHA and international reining community has become today.

He is currently head trainer at the historic Waggoner Ranch near Vernon, Texas and on a purely anecdotal note: In 1948, E. Paul Waggoner bought Poco Bueno—one of the greatest cutting and reining horses of all time. Poco Bueno is buried in a standing position at the gate to the Waggoner Ranch with a statue in his name—testimony to the value placed on a good cutting horse…

Tanya Jenkins, like many reiners, came to the sport from a lifelong horse career showing and training in all-around and western pleasure events and has also witnessed an incredible growth in the sport’s international interest. Tanya remarks, “Reining seems to be growing every year and fanning out into so many countries—Germany and Italy are big, and Brazil is of course very active in the community.”

Commenting that one of the possible appeals of the sport is the festival-like atmosphere at a reining event, Jenkins references the difference between a reining show atmosphere and the elegant silence of a Grand Prix dressage ring (for example).

Reining is unique among horse sports for allowing the opportunity to utilize formal skills and equitation disciplines in a more playful atmosphere, where often, the crowd whistles and yells when it sees well-executed maneuvers.

Christa Morris, Director of Marketing & Communications

international equestrian disciplines. The only people you will see in cowboy hats and boots at the World Equestrian Games are the Reiners or reining fans…” The NRHA itself has begun hosting not only a European Futurity Show, but also a derby for

demanded reciprocity. At the futurity show last year, fourteen countries were represented including Poland, France and even Ireland. “Aside from a different language being spoken, there is not really any difference between a reining event in the states and a reining event in overseas…” continues Christa witnessing Brian Dygert’s observation, that the great equalizer of reining and its international appeal is “Good purses, good ground and good judging.”

Open Fences would like to extend sincere thanks to Brokers Sassy Stanton of Stanton Pinkard Realty, Texas and Gwen Wagner of Legacy Lands, Livingston MT for their assistance in researching the story.


Itime buyers and veterans of the ranch real estate market alike are wise to ask a number of questions before purchase. For

example: Is this the best property for me? Where is the best place to build my home and barns? How can I improve the value of the ranch? Do I have the time and energy to do this myself? Will I be able to actually enjoy being a ranch owner?

Open Fences caught up with Tom Roberts who is the owner and president of Western Lands - Ranch Restoration Services located in Parker, Colorado. His company helps the new and prospective ranch owner answer these questions and then

design, project management, and owner’s representation services for many types of ranch enhancement projects throughout the western United States.

As the ranch real estate market builds on the positive momentum gained in the latter part of 2010, a ranch may well be a wise investment for the right person. Not just an investment for monetary gains, but also an investment in a lifestyle that affords a connection to the outdoors, open spaces, family, recreation, and other elements not found in your portfolio. Western Lands can be a valuable resource for anyone who has purchased a ranch or is considering doing so to help increase the value of this investment.

Open Fences: How did you get started in the business of ranch restoration?

Western Lands: After getting a graduate degree in Landscape Architecture in 2000, I was working for an ecological design-build company that primarily worked on river and wetland restoration projects. I was working on a stream enhancement project up in Fairplay, Colorado for an owner who had just purchased a ranch with about a mile of river on it. He spent a good amount of money on the enhancements and also put a conservation easement on the ranch. The restoration work we did nearly doubled the appraised

Ultimately, he offered me a chance to work with him and locate more ranch properties that he could buy and then replicate the

Open Fences: That’s how it was started; how has it evolved today?

Today, we work on just about any type of ranch improvement project imaginable. We facilitate project management systems in order to complete the ranch owner’s vision. Our plans encompass all aspects of land enhancements and buildings and infrastructure improvements. We can also help develop management and monitoring plans for maintaining good land stewardship and

ongoing ranch maintenance;

the absentee owner. We service a niche market of

clients, who are ranch owners, but not necessarily ranchers, to

and enjoyment of their land. Many have a vision for their ranch, but don’t necessarily know where to start or even have the time and energy to be able to manage all of the different consultants, schedules, budgets,

etc. necessary to complete their projects. In the end, their projects can cost more, take more time, and create more headaches for them if they do it on their own.

Open Fences: So when a project requires a consultant outside of your personal expertise, you will bring them in as needed and then act as a project manager?

Western Lands: Correct. Strategic partnerships and alliances are extremely important to the success of our company. For instance, if we were to have a ranch client who wanted to restore their private trout stream that required a sophisticated level of geomorphology and river engineering, we may bring in a company such as Inter-Fluve, Inc to provide this level of expertise. They are an engineering group that specializes in stream restoration and would be a fantastic addition to our team to provide the technical expertise of the river restoration. We can

draw from their expertise to make our team even stronger,

builders, and ranch managers are other types of consultants that we bring in as needed.

Open Fences: What have been some of your favorite types of projects?

Western Lands: I really enjoyed working on a 6,000-acre ranch near Montrose, Colorado a few years ago where we designed and built 16-acres of wetland habitat for the owner. We had the opportunity to work on an absolutely beautiful ranch property and successfully built the wetlands in a variety of habitat types. For instance, at one location we were able to take advantage of hydrology provided by a natural drainage and seeps to create a series of new wetlands that appear natural and are self sustaining. We have seen a new and diverse wildlife population already using the habitat, which is always a good measuring stick. In another location we mimicked beaver ponds on a live stream system.

We are now in the beginning stages of working with a ranch owner to enhance about 100-acres of pasture with an integrated weed management plan and over-seeding a dryland grass mix. Another aspect of this project will include interviewing and selecting an architect to develop plans for a home, barns, and riding arena. In addition, we will be designing and constructing a stream and approximately six or seven ponds for an aesthetic and ecological improvement to the ranch.

Open Fences: Suppose a ranch owner wants to enhance the ecological health of their ranch and wants to, let’s say attract waterfowl for bird watching or hunting. What are some of the elements on their land that they should look for to be able to accomplish this goal?

Western Lands:there be adequate hydrology on the property and if they have

this doesn’t necessarily mean they have the right to divert or impound it. If there are existing ponds or wetlands on site, they could look at improving the ecological diversity of the habitat. Maybe they could plant different native vegetation that will provide food, cover, and nesting opportunities for the wildlife. In another instance, maybe they would have to open up overgrown vegetation to provide open water habitat. These are just some of the things they could do. Conducting ecological enhancement oftentimes also improves the aesthetic qualities of the landscape further making the ranch more valuable.

Open Fences: How do you measure success?Western Lands: Client satisfaction. And this pertains not

how we get there.Also, if we can get the ranch owner to protect the land, that

is another measure of success for us—we like to say we are “dedicated to the enhancement and preservation of ranchland in the American west”. Our goal is to help to not only enhance the value of the ranch, but hopefully help the owner want to protect the land in perpetuity. Conservation easements are one tool we like to promote to accomplish this goal where there could be a win-win scenario for the ranch owner and the environment.

Open Fences: Well it sounds like you do some interesting and exciting work. Good luck with your future projects!

Western Lands: Thank you so much for the opportunity to speak with you today.
