Holy crap! That is amazing!! I have to say that saddle looks really comfy!
Love the way he still rides as if he has reins in his hands - you could nearly draw them in!! :lol:
Thats very very impressive but have to say the galloping to halt made me cover my eyes!

I just watched that one too Bip! I'm just gobsmacked... so impressed. Wow.
SN yea it's cool the way he shifts his weight as if he's still riding with reins, amazing!
Impressive, he is wearing a SERIOUS pair of spurs though in the first clip :eek:

It is fantastic and takes great skill, patience and training - something not everyone is capable of. But it is about visual/physical aids - refined more than most of us could probably do. Think about liberty horse in circus, stunt horses in movies etc. - it's all about training the horse to respond to a specific cue. Most of us only use the "accepted norms". don't get me wrong, I hugely admire the skill it takes and am not knocking it - but it isn't rocket science. Most people commented how the first clip looked as if he were using reins - so his posture emulated the aids he would give WITH a bridle - body weight, leg position etc.
Would love to be skilled enough to do it as well as he does :blushing:
I also like that he is not saying you have to use this rope, that headcollar, this stick, play these games in this order ...... etc. He is demonstrating a real bond and understanding without the hype you sometimes see.

Ok, I didn't watch it, because I'm on dial up, but yeah, Clinton Anderson from what I've heard, and seen, he's great.
Bip, were you speaking of the sliding stop? (when you said the galloping halt.)
Just wondering. I want to learn that. It's not hard on the horse, I'm pretty sure it was originally used in cattle working.
He does use a serious pair of spurs, but uses them well. I just don't really see why he used them though, maybe it's just for looks. Oh well. I might use spurs some day, just not as "bad".
I'm hoping to learn freestyle riding soon. I want to teach Tonto to listen to my leg and seat aids better, once he knows them I'll start to ride bridleless.:)
Anyone here ever done Freestyle?
yep thats what i meant, well I know absolutely nothing about western riding so I guess I cant really comment but just looked quite severe on the horse from my uneducated eye!

Love the vitrual reins - goes to show how much position actually mimics responding actions...

I think its sopposed to put around the same amount of strain or whatever on the horses legs as jumping but i might be wrong. I'd love to be able to do that stuff lol He's amazing

Oh well. I love western, and know alot more than most people over there probably, because over here is really western.
Guess what? My bro taught his horse to do that, and he's helping me train mine.:)
