Aaron Ralston, an individual and team 2006 WEG reining medal winner, will be on air to explain the maneuvers and scoring, familiarize viewers with the horses and riders, and interpret the action.
Live reining coverage begins on Sunday, September 26, from noon to 1:30 p.m. EDT, and features team reining competition. It continues on Sunday, October 3, from 1 to 4 p.m. EDT, with individual reining competition, and concludes on Sunday, October 10, from 4 to 6 p.m. EDT, when reining is featured as part of the WEG recap.
