Repost with music:    • Horseback riding bareback bridleless ...   Skip to 6:15+ to see the gallop. This is in an open field with no neck rope. 5 yr old appendix QH, initially a very spooky horse. This kind of training helped bring him around. This video is our first time galloping bareback/ bridleless. All clips in this video come from the same day, during a 45-min ride. I cooled him down after, not shown in the video. Note: The lead changes are NOT good examples. He dives into them, dropping his shoulder and switching front first, where he should do the opposite. However, this was the first time we had tried them BB/BL, and about the 3rd time we had tried them in general, so we were just messing around. He'd need a lot more training and balance work to do them properly. I've gotten a few questions on this: no, we don't do Parelli. I've done endurance, a little dressage, a little reining.

I started riding this horse (5yo Appendix gelding) bareback/ bridleless to see how my balance and cues were related to reining. I haven't given him much formal training, so this was just for fun. Too much of this wouldn't be a good idea for either of us, and I don't suggest others try riding this way unless you're very comfortable with your horse and advanced training. That said, it's a blast and a great way to test aids/communication.
