English and western riders may have their differences, but good horsemanship is good horsemanship, regardless of what kind of tack you use. In this vintage clip (and we know it’s vintage because of those outdated hunt caps), American eventing legends David and Karen O’Connor showcase their bridleless jumping and dressage skills to the crowd at one of Pat Parelli’s Natural Horsemanship demos.
This video shows real team work, and lots of practice. Enjoy(ed), watching watching it.
Wow, that’s beautiful. I love seeing two pros ride bareback and bridleless. And at 3:10, David’s horse is so relaxed, he’s licking his lips.
really enjoyed this video.
