Bareback and bridleless
 

I really hope to get a better video up some time when an actual person is holding the camera.

Shannon did amazing tonight. Actually, our best riding was right after I turned the video off. She was responding almost perfectly the whole ride and I felt I could have done anything with her. She was doing precise turns and everything. I wish I had more time, but it was getting dark.

Anyway, the video is kind of long but it's varied throughout the video. I want to post a better one soon with us doing other obstacles. I normally do not neck rein her either.

EDIT: My position isn't very good but it was just a relaxing, end of the day ride. We were just kinda goofing off.

Wow! you guys are really good at that!! :D it's hard to imagine you got better after you turned the camera off! keep it up!

Thank you! I hope someday I can do it without the rope :D

That's so cool! I do that same thing with my young horse Relana. I don't use a rope or anything she steers off my body and is learning hand signals. You guys look like a great match I'm sure you will be all set without a rope in no time! :)
