The B&B Reinebach Training Standard: Horse First
Good training listens before it asks. The horse’s confidence, soundness, understanding and physical readiness
determine the pace of the program.
Correct Before Fast
Strong maneuvers are built from balance, body control and clear communication. We value lasting progress over shortcuts.
Honest Communication
Owners deserve a clear picture of where their horse is, what is improving, what remains challenging and what the partnership needs next.
Prepared for the Partnership
A trained horse is only part of the outcome. We help riders understand how to support, maintain and confidently ride the horse when it returns home.
B&B Reinebach Training: Built on a Solid Foundation
B&B Reinebach was built on a commitment to developing capable horses, confident riders, and competitive partnerships. Founded by Brock and Britney Reinebach in Princeville, Illinois, our program brings extensive professional experience to reining and ranch riding, with a strong emphasis on starting, developing, and preparing young prospects for futurity competition.
Both graduates of Black Hawk College’s equine program, Brock and Britney built their careers through education, apprenticeships, and daily work in established performance horse operations. Brock’s background includes approximately eight years of combined education and experience with Jeff Greaves, Gil Galyean, David Dellin, Steve and Carol Metcalf, Stefano Calcagnini, Jordan Larson, and Ben Gerst. That foundation shaped his approach to developing young horses, refining movement and maneuvers, and working through challenges with seasoned show horses.
Britney gained experience in horse care and facility management through apprenticeships with Wyoming Horses and Synergy Stables Inc., before joining Brock at Gil Galyean Quarter Horses, where she helped manage stock. Together, they bring an understanding of the preparation, consistency, and attention to detail required to operate a professional training and showing program.
Today, B&B Reinebach develops reining and ranch riding prospects, trains and maintains show horses, and coaches youth and adult riders. Our show team connects purposeful work at home with preparation and support at competitions throughout the Midwest and beyond. From a rider’s first class to an experienced competitor’s next goal, we build the skills and partnerships needed to step into the pen prepared.
That commitment extends to mentoring aspiring equine professionals through hands-on internships. From daily horse care to show preparation and client support, we invest in the people who will help carry the industry forward.
Since developing our facility in September 2010, our priorities have remained clear: quality care, thoughtful training, strong horsemanship, and doing the work that gives horses and riders the opportunity to succeed.
A Program Defined by Precision, Discipline and Feel
Individualized reining and performance horse training designed to develop confident equine athletes, capable riders and partnerships built to last.
Training the Whole Horse
Every horse brings a different mind, body, history and level of readiness to the program. At B&B Reinebach, training begins with an honest evaluation, a clear understanding of the owner’s goals and a development plan created for the individual horse.
We do not believe in forcing every horse through the same timeline or measuring progress by a single maneuver. Our goal is to build the physical ability, confidence, responsiveness and understanding each horse needs to perform its job while remaining a willing partner.
Whether a horse is developing reining fundamentals, preparing for competition, returning for a tune-up or working through a specific challenge, the process remains thoughtful, progressive and centered on long-term success.
Individualized Performance Horse Training
Foundation and Performance Development
Strong performance begins with a correct foundation. Depending on the horse’s age, experience and intended job, training may focus on softness, responsiveness, body control, transitions, circles, speed control and confidence in the rider’s cues.
As the horse progresses, the program may advance into reining maneuvers such as stops, spins, rollbacks, lead departures, lead changes and complete pattern work.
The goal is not simply to teach a horse where to place its feet. It is to help the horse understand the work, carry itself correctly and respond confidently when the rider asks.
Full Training
Full training provides the consistency needed to develop the horse physically and mentally over time. Each horse follows an individualized program shaped by its current ability, readiness and the owner’s goals.
Progress is evaluated throughout the process, with adjustments made according to what the horse needs, not according to a one-size-fits-all schedule.
Tune-Ups and Focused Problem-Solving
Sometimes a horse does not need a complete restart. It needs clarity, consistency and an experienced evaluation.
A focused training period can help restore responsiveness, strengthen a weak maneuver, improve confidence, address a specific challenge or prepare the horse to return home with a clearer plan for the rider.
Show Preparation
Preparing a horse to show requires more than schooling individual maneuvers. The horse must be able to connect those maneuvers into a complete pattern, remain responsive in a different environment and confidently handle the demands of show day.
Show preparation may include maneuver development, pattern placement, transitions, warm-up strategy, consistency away from home and an honest assessment of the horse’s physical and mental readiness.
Non-Pro and Youth Rider Coaching
The horse’s training and the rider’s education should move in the same direction.
Owner lessons help riders understand the cues, expectations and maintenance plan their horse knows. This creates a smoother transition from trainer to owner and helps the partnership continue to improve at home and in the show pen.
Coaching may include riding instruction, pattern strategy, warm-up planning, mental preparation, show-day support and post-run evaluation.
