wow i would love to the guts to do this!

A couple of years ago (in memory of my youth and riding bareback a lot in headcollars) I decided to ride my horse back to the field bareback...as I got on he moved away from the mounting block and I slid off him onto the floor in classic splits. I got back on and my goodness I forgot how slippery a horse was(although I dont remember that from 35 years ago)!?!

So to see this yes that is fantastic! Balance etc! Wow!
 
Wish I had the horse to do this as well ;)
What a beautiful, talented horse, and a fantastic rider. So lovely so see such a bond.
 
I was able to do this with my pony of a lifetime. A 14.1 Arab gelding called Kehshspian. I was only 12 when I got him and he was already damaged goods. I worked with him relentlessly for the first year to get him to trust me and in that time bonded with him in a rare way. He was amazing and watching this just make me miss him more. *Wistfully remembers back*

Fab video and lovely horse. :)

Years ago when I worked at a riding school we used to ride the ponies bareback from the field (ride one and lead another) along a busy A road with nose to nose tanker lorries. I just flinch at the thought now!
 
Wish i could do that, although i would worry about the strap pulling on the neck, saying that she does not seem to be pulling at all.
 
wow!

Wouldnt mind riding that horse!

You can see the bond with them- I walk/ trot/ canter bareback but think if i tried to jump that high without a saddle I'd slip straight off!! :eek:
 
I thought I was good trotting round the field bareback on my 3 year old! Lovely to see this, it needs such a bond and trust between horse and rider which is what I most definitely see here! Maybe I'll try this next time... If only!
