The most amazing animal on the planet...The American Quarter Horse. Nothing on 4 legs can match it. Thanks Tim.

I know the Westfalls and they are fine horsemen not to mention purdy nice folks ta boot!
Doing a reining pattern without a bridle is a feat in itself (I have a horse that it can be done on) but doing it without a saddle is dang near impossible! Not as much in difficulty at staying on but also having perfect balance atop the horse without gripping with your legs. Stacy's cues come from her legs and body position and squeezing is a specific cue for a specific move so some of it is purely balance! This is a almost perfect display of synergy between horse and rider that VERY FEW riders can achieve! I've been riding for 45 plus years and whereas I can do the bridle less, I would be spitting dirt within seconds attempting this! Something to take notice of is the horse licks it's lips throughout the show which is a sign that the horse is happy and thinking! This horse enjoys it's job and was most likely very quick to learn in it's training! Thanks for posting this Tim! |
