This TV coverage marks the largest commitment a network has ever made to equestrian sports in U.S. television history.
AQHA member and Colorado reiner Aaron Ralston will be the on-air commentator, interpreting the reining events to TV viewers who may not be familiar with what they’re watching. He’ll explain the scoring, the maneuvers and will give tips on what viewers should be looking for.
“I hope to represent the sport of reining, and I hope to give a good understanding of what goes into the sport of reining,” Ralston said.
Ralston breeds a small number of horses each year with his wife, Meg, and also produces some western-discipline competitions.
