Ep 41: No Foot No Horse with D.J. Stox
November 7, 2025
No Foot No Horse with DJ Stox. We discuss the industry where we re going and the pressure on the horse as the intensity of competition continues to rise.
The Cactus Reining Classic hosted the run for a million qualifier, and named the additional 10 riders that will slide in for their opportunity at one of the biggest paychecks in Reining history.
In this episode, Brian Dygert and Jody Brainard, bring their many years of reining judging and monitoring expertise to the arena. With an overview of statistics, score spreads, and some of the best runs from the competition, you will learn how to see these runs from the judges chair, better understand how Reining scoring works, and truly gain wisdom around what it means when you see scores spread across a single maneuver in this 5-judge system.
Brian and Jody analyze runs from prominent competitors, including the 2023 TRFAM qualifier winner. Gina Maria Schumacher on Gunnastepya, and other top 10 runs including Dany Tremblay on Tinker With Dreams, Trevor Dare on Spat Toy Boy Gun, Dan Huss on Whoz Joe Daddy, Jason Vanlandingham on Best Shine, & Mandy McCutcheon on Starlights Voodoo.
Don’t worry, Brain and Jody add a few extra maneuvers to this episode’s pattern as they share their take on things like a new leveling system based on horse power and not rider earnings, and how to advance the NRHA‘s judges system.
