| OK LISTEN UP ..
AS YOU KNOW ....>>
I have been preaching about riding two handed,
with balance and focus, confidence...........
now it is to ride your horse bareback if you have those imagined saddle fit problems ...
and always present your best ride and surprise everyone with an amazing
ride home!!

| I used to be able to ride like that....
But these days my horses are much bigger with farther to fall, the ground is harder and my body has lost all of it's bounce!
I still ride bareback but only on select horses in more controlled circumstances and I require a mounting block, fence, trailer or a leg up to get on...like I said, all of my bounce is gone. 
I do however, like to start my colt's bareback where I can slide off rather than tangle with a saddle. In a stall first, then a very small pen. Preferably on babies I've raised where I have been able to "sit" on them when they are lying down to get them used to something over top of them.
I've always said the best way to balance on a horse is to learn to ride bareback....on a pony. If you can sit their trot, you've got it made. |

I had to go back and watch the video again myself, I thought she was putting a whip/bat in her mouth and then when she went for it it was a flag, I thought wow that is so cool. I agree that kid has got great balance, and her little hinny never moved, stay right in the same spot threw the whole run. I was very inpressed with her run. |
