Every ride that Stacy takes is like a beautiful work of art. Priceless. No other words are necessary. Stacy and her horse are one beautiful being in every performance. Stunning and ever so natural.
Enjoyed the clip brought back memories. We grew brought up in rural New Zealand. We rode our horses with no saddles or briddles all the time to the beach, mustering, to school sometimes, to the swimming hole at the river and to our friends place with nothing but a sack to sit on. When doing repetitive tasks you and the horse know each others thoughts and expetations. This clip brought those memories flooding back Thank you Kia ora
They make me cry... My horse and me can do these things.. But not in this way!!!!! We aren't so perfect. This horse is precious, and the rider fantstic.
I too started to cry watching this. But it doesn't have to be in your dreams. You can accomplish anything if you put you mind, time, and effort to it, really. That performance is proof of that.
Silly but what I love most is when your horse runs after you like Roxy did at the end. For some reason non horse people think that's so weird, but when you know horses they are a lot like big dogs, in the way that they're lovable, huggable, they feel so much and almost have a psychic ability.
Stacey is one of the most accomplished reiners and horse trainers on the planet. She has her own training methods that she has built up over the years, that allows her to beable to not only simply train a horse, but do it in a remarkably short period of time. She's won numerous green colt competitions. If you know anything about horse, you'll know to watch her feet. The only thing she uses the mane for is to steady herself. Her horse is trained to rein on leg commands, simple subtle movements.
@hektoroholiczka spurs help with communication with the horse to help clarify aids, but many people use them wrong.If you were riding bareback and bridleless with your horse in a huge arena you would want your communication to be good right?
Sorry I didn't cry but I had goosbumps. She is good...... no she is awesome. Is this the same horse or different one? Well done. I would like to see this horse in bridel...
@hektoroholiczka can you show your horse bareback and bridleless with hundreds of people doing the same exact things????? just because u have spurs on dont mean you use them they are just incase! i never use mine they are just on my boots just incase my horse acts up. thats why you are sopose to keep your heels down so you dont jab them.
I notice the same thing but I dont think it is them being lazy. I think the new is just gone. The fun is still there but the burning passion is gone. It just isnt new anymore.
She has to keep her hands in particular places because her horse works off of very acute seat and balance cues. A true bridleless and tackless rider like yourself should know that.
She does have a rein. My cousin does this stuff. And they have a rein there just incase anything happens. But they dont really use them. There litterally paper thin, Cant see them. But very strong and durable. My cousin said the only time they use the rein is when they slow down.
