Ms Dreamy & Dan Huss: Bridleless Reining 

Love it!

It's easy to tell that she actually loves this. 😊

That's probably why the headstall got loose too LOL.

@@krist6074 lol

Not only all horses but all riders. I grew my horsemanship when I first started out by riding in a closed arena and riding with my reins laying down, my hands off of them. Taught me how to ride with my legs and my seat. That was how I got over my beginners mistake of overusing my reins (I started riding late, didn’t start till I was 21). It’s a skill that every horseperson should master.

@@speed150mph same. I'm only getting into horses now at 17. I'm old compared to all these people riding at 4 XD

Depends on the horse.

I'll let you test that theory with my leg and seat trained horse...... Good luck using no reins. When he's upset you have no choice and that happens *very* easily

@@cattyquestrian8196 wdym

Brought me to tears as well!

Make that 3 of us in tears

I’m late but now there is 4 of us in tears

Make that 5 of us

Number 7 here 🥲

Shyann_ Lavhyon And it proves that horses don’t need bridles

@@monstam8439 you don't think it took years of training to get to this level??

Jean Fish I do think it took years, but it’s fact that horses don’t need bridles to get to this point. The bridles are painful for horses and shouldn’t be used... it’s a shame that so many people are thinking they are necessary for training. But with the right training horses don’t need pain to be trained.

@@monstam8439 Please refer to the Queen of bridleless, bareback reining competition, Stacey Westbrook. She has her own channel on U Tube. Maybe she can satisfy your statement.

@@monstam8439 🤣🤣 We got an expert in everything horse!!! 🙄 Get real.

Darned if I don't think this amazing girl won't miss competition!!!

Maybe the horse doesn't want to be a broodmare 🙄

@@KatrinaDancer Ah yes, the animal who doesn’t have a prefrontal cortex to decide such a thing can definitely tell you she does or doesn’t want to be a broodmare. Sure, makes sense. Makes the same amount of sense that replying to a 5 year old comment does. Not to mention that most of her foals have been done via recip mare, but go off ig

There's another video of this particular made where the rider explains that he let's the made do that after a spin cause it keeps her calm.

@@terrisrankin968 Yeah. I watched the video before I saw this video.

You never know until you try!! 😊

Kate ProudFort the horse is a mare.

Kate ProudFort oh ok lol

Unfortunately I think they were disqualified because of the broken bridle but I sure wish they got credit for finishing a fantastic run

As far as I know they should have been disqualified because of the bridle.

the video title is bridle less reining

@@foonigan3571 unexpectedly bridleless because the bridle broke during the competition. Was not intended to be that way originally, and he was disqualified when he picked it up with his free hand, but of course he had to for the horse's safety. This is not original airing of this competition.

@@suzanneyoung8011 oh yeah i know i was just saying that how is that unexpected? the title says "bridleless reining"

What judge would DQ this ride, the judge would be drummed out of town.

He only got DQ cause he put that second hand down. But I do agree he shouldn't have been

@@Boop_noodle8537 he has to, his horse would have stepped on it :(

No horse likes bits :)

I see where you're coming from about bits being a pain-compliance training aid however, bits are necessary when you have a horse performing at this level. Believe it or not, some horses love their bits.. Ms Dreamy did not though. And the whole hackamore thing, They are terrible, I've seen many horses with the bridge of their nose crushed because of the amount of pressure they apply. Moral of the story here is, stop deciding what is best for your horse.....a truly exceptional horse-person knows this, and tries many different bits until they find one the HORSE LIKES....

@@MilfEnjoyer924 I sayed >>NO

@@TheNCcope Nope horses don't need bits to perform at this level, they just have to wear it because of a stupid rule in every sports horses are involved. Who still uses hackamore (there are good hackamore too)? You can buy lots of bitless bridles out of leather. I for example, use a normal halter.

Explain to me the entire process of getting a horse to perform at this level with no bit, because I call b.s. Explain to me how to get a horse to rate your seat, tell me how to shape the horse for a correct lead departure, tell me the cues for a flying lead change for reining and dressage. If you don't use bits then surely you don't use spurs or dressage whips or any training aids at all....if you made a video series you would be a millionare, why are you wasting your breath talking to a bit-using, horse abuser like myself?

Last ride?

@@EloquentlyEquestrian the horses last competitive ride....they are retiring the horse.

2 Equestrian Girls he got second at WEG in the individual finals on this horse. I was there.

xXToraKobayashiXx After they are well trained... How do you think she's been trained to this point?

It also shows the rare no need for bitless bridles, saddles, neckropes, legs, or hands. Because, obviously, if one specific team of horse and rider can work fine without these cues, _obviously_ every team can as well... no matter their skill level, temperament, pressure preferences, discipline, or any other factor that would define the gear they use. Because, *_obviously_* , every horse and every rider the exact same... right? Anyway, no offense intended. People are entitled to their opinion... even if it is to the disadvantage of other people and their animals. I say figure out what works for you and your horse, and whatever that may be should not be judged so arrogantly by other people. As long as they aren’t blatantly and verifiably painful and harmful to the horse (e.g. wire bits, sharp twisted bits, bits with heavy leverage, harsh bosals and hackamores, sharp spurs, whips used to inflict pain... you get the point).

yes because there's one horse doing well without a bit it means every horse will do fine because there's no thing such as different personalities

Guys you all make no sense don't listen to people who exploit horses because of selfishness. In a few years, we will look back and ask yourself why we did use such barbaric methods like bits. Horses aren't born to wear bits there are enough people out there who prove that bitless can be done with every horse it just requires the rider to be willing to develop him/herself. But most people choose the lazy way. I once trained a horse which was known to be dangerous and only could be ridden with a Pelham (even from heavy build men and I am a thin woman) and I was able to ride him jumping, dressage etc. with a normal stable halter AND I was no an experienced rider back then. ;)

@@amayafuller8895 You can easily train a horse with a normal halter even at a young age. It just requires horsemanship. :)
