Riding my horse with no bridle or saddle

February 22010

Posted in bridle | 25 Comments »

yup…the title says it all.

reminds me of riding in the lord of the rings! XD This is my show horse Skipa Lark Star, and I’m riding him like this for fun. I’ve practiced this alot with him, and my goal is to train our 4 year old Rocky to be able to do this someday. I’m working with him very lightly with a soft bit, mostly using leg cues and reins and vocals so he won’t rely on the bit. but i don’t think he will ever be as reliable as Skip here.
