when you ride in reining, you do a series of spins and circles. when you ride in reining and do a circle, its a figure 8 type pattern, although you do about 3 circles on the right and 3 on the left, its still a figure 8 in the end. you can also compare reining to figure skating, its very similar.

i know this because i compete in reining.

Why is dressage better than western?

It could be said that dressage is better than western riding because dressage emphasizes balance and communication of horse and rider. It is in fact very similar to the western sport of reining, which requires the horse and rider to ride a pattern before a judge in the same way dressage does. The movements required for reining are slightly different from those of dressage, but the idea behind the two sports is the same.
