I ridden my last three horses bridless. My old horse I would jump him 3'9...and he would do it better without the bridle  . I just get them use to neck reining and leg pressure then take the plunge! I just use a lead rope around there neck for a handle and steering. It's fun, and after it you have a whole new connection with your horse. |

Health yes. Life....maybe? ;-) We'll do it in an enclosed space and I'll wear helmet + vest. It's ON!
Wait, maybe I should actually ride her first! Ha ha. Ya know, normal, make sure she's not an evil satanic beast.

I rode my old man Smokey without saddle or bridle. I could ride him with just my legs and seat, but he also had voice commands. All I had to do was murmur "Ho" and he would screech to a halt. No legs or seat needed, just STOP. That was my safety with him. But I do agree with everyone else that they have to be a good boy/girl. Not one that will mess with you when they feel like it. I wouldn't ride my guy now like that, he likes to decide every once in a while that we are going to do things HIS way. Then we have to have a discussion about it, and I don't think I would win that discussion without a bridle. Maybe in a RP, if I were feeling brave and had already worked the snot out of him!

Val - I had more fun with you guys in the three months I was there than I had some whole YEARS. Give the kids a squeeze for me, a carrot for Doc & Reeses, and hold Michael Fukadomi for me |

I love riding bridleless. I rode Romeo alot without a bridle. In a controled environment of course. And I did usually have something around his neck just in case. One day he was playing in the arena and found a hula hoop. He of course picked it up and was scared poopless when it made noise (whatever it is they put in those things). Well after much curiosity and a little coaxing from me I hopped on and rode him with the hula hoop around his neck. I put alot of time and training to make sure he was 100% leg and seat responsive before I ever took the bridle off though. It is a very freeing feeling. And it impresses people! :-)

My horses are my sanity in my insane world. At least that is what they tell me.
RIP Romeo - you will be forever missed!
