How much did you pay for a Reining trainer?
Wondering how much others have paid too send their horse off to a reining trainer? How long did you send them for? The Cost? Would you have kept them there longer than you did or was that enough time?
Please only answer if you actually know. I am NOT talking about my own horse. I want to know what others did. Read my question completely.

In all an above average Reining horse trainer will be from 800 to 1200 a month for everything.....Most Reiners that have a decent career ahead of them need a year to be solid, consistent performers. If you just want a nice broke horse who is solid in loping, spins and well started in stops your looking at 4 to 6 months.....It is a huge endeavor and expense, that's why only very talented horses go the full year...a lot wash out or are flunked.

I never put my horse through actual reining training but did work at a really nice reining barn for about a year. The owner basically paid $300 for board and between $300-400 for training each month. Lessons were another $45 for about an hour and a half but the trainer was open to people coming whenever for help.
We saw a lot of green broke horses there for about 3 or 4 months, but the horses there for long term show training were often there throughout show season. Most horses got more then a good foundation while they were in training with us and left with all the skills they needed. The trainer was very honest on the horse's progress and potential helping the owner decide just how long to keep the horse there.
When looking for a trainer I would look for one that is ok with you stopping by whenever you get a chance to check up and also one that is more then willing to let you hop on and take lessons from them. I would never send a horse away and not be able to go see it once or twice a week.

I did not take my horse to be trained to do Reining. But i pay 525 $ a month, plus 25 $ per lesson. In one month he has learned, western/ english gates, a PROPER lope, canter, jog, trot, walk. He has also learned side passing, simple lead changes, and he has an amazing head set. Hope this helps : )

I trained my horse to rein, it takes alot of work and skill in the horse. your horse should be short and stocky, that's part of the cow horse, reining is part of cow horse work. it depends on how long your sending him/her for. and where your sending him/her too.

Nothing, send your horse to a dressage trainer and sell him to a housewife.. They pay LOADS for dressage horses. If you're talking for yourself, idk! My mom is a trainer and my trainer makes me train so I have no idea! Good luck! Don't get ripped off!
