This winter i have been working on riding my mare, slipper, bridleless. It is a very hard but very rewarding training process! A few days ago I finally did it, completeing an entire horsemanship pattern bareback and Bridleless. We did a flying lead change, lope circles,extended jog to regular jog, stop and back, pivots that were more like reining spins!! and slipper is only 4!!!! It was an amazing feeling and I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience and how it is going??

thanks and by bridleless i mean with out anything on her head and only a lead rope around her neck! I rarley use the lead though and it is mostly leg and seat and voice control.

That's fantastic!! Congrats!!

I've had my share of bridleless rides. They are amazing. I love doing simple lead changes bridleless. Canter to the center, stop, pick up the other lead, kind of like serpintines. And it's all bridleless. I love it!
great job!! I like flying lead changes much better than simples myself though!! Ive done my fair share of simples though too. I won two congress championships with my horse and they included simples!! two other congress championships included flyings, on a 4 YEAR OLD!!!!!

Yes, it's also a very useful technique in shows. When you can tweak your horse with your feet, you really open a lot of doors.

:wink:

I enjoy it. The only use I have for the bridle these days is to tweak his headset and do exercises that require him to lean into the bridle a bit. That and bending.

Yea, he would likely be listed as the owner, unless you're over 18.
I looked up your horse. I dont know you. I thought she looked like a Sacred Seven and i was trying to find out if she was. Dont panic, I was wanting to know if i was speaking to an adult or a kid was all :lol:
