This horse has no signs of hidden stress: no tail swishing, no chomping on the bit, no ears back, no opening the muzzle, no tension in the muzzle... I'm fascinated with her tail hanging down so relaxed the hole time. No reved up emotions. Great training!! What a difference to the dressage horses! They look so tense and stressed while competing.

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

If he dismounted and walked out when the bridle broke no one would have held it against him . To keep going , and to completely nail it , is absolutely inspiring. Love the trust, love the bond, love that he let her scratch her knee. Beautiful.

I love how the crowd cheered them on when the bridle fell off. She’s such a incredible mare and it shows how much time and effort he has put into this horse! ❤️

I love how he lets her rub her knees after that spin

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.

But with the right training horses don’t need pain to be trained.

He has a better seat and rides with more leg and seat than most FEI Dressage Champions in modern times. Really just a delight to see.

Wow. What an incredible horse and rider. The horse obviously trusts his rider. I wish more people were like this

I think reining shows are my favorite. Everyone roots for whoever's in the ring at the time and the atmosphere is just electric. Amazing horses and horsemanship as well!

That’s true horsemanship. ♥️

What a great rider, he just picked up the reins so she wouldn't trip then carried on. What an amazingly trained horse she seemed to try harder the more she got cheers.

This is my new favorite reining run ever!

Speaks volumes about the intelligence of the animal and the trust the rider has learned to develope with the animal. The horse is defintely in charge (do your research) both have found a way to communicate. BRAVO! congratulations, but, no further explotation for profit or personal recognition is needed. Love of horses is pure. Think before you reply. BE GOOD TO YOUR HORSE ALWAYS AND ALL DAYS🐴

I wish I could like this a thousand times.

Horse looked a lot more relaxed when it was solely the legs and body weight telling her where she needed to go, nice job from the rider for just staying calm and riding on!

That horse is absolutely gorgeous!

What an amazing video. Only proves that bits shouldn't be a requirement for shows.

It’s too bad I’m pretty sure the run didn’t count. He must have been DQ’d, If not for losing the bridle, then for grabbing the reins and bridle with his freehand. Nonetheless, it was still a fantastic display of horsemanship, and a great ride. It’s clear these two have that bond we all strive to achieve with our horses. Very good show.

Just proves that riding is all in the legs and if you have an awesome connection with your horse it’ll listen no matter what.. This is real horsemanship guys! If your horse isn’t listening try to understand why..

She looks so relaxed in her moves.

Love it- horse loses its bridle and doesn’t miss a beat!! Beautiful ride!✨❤️✨

Absolutely beautiful! I can personally appreciate the training and skill of the rider AND horse. Truly poetry in motion!

I’ve watched this countless times - GREAT mare & Rider!! Goosebumps!!!

Congratulations horseman. You did a great job with your horse. So amazing horsemanship.

This brought a lump to my throat, how incredible. What horsemanship and massive credit to horse and rider - I am so emotional!!

He was my college colt training instructor at University of Findlay.

It's so awesome how this horse was trained mainly off of seat and leg. I think that's the way to go if you train a horse :)

Gives me chills and tears.

That is some incredible horsemanship. That’s truly what the industry needs.

WOW! an amazing Mare! and a great rider! the lead change was effortless!❤

I just love how everybody is cheering ♥️

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....

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?

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).

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. ;)

This is amazing horse and showmanship!! You know the only reason he got a 0 is because he went to 2 hands!

The TOP Competitions for horses and riders in any discipline should be without using bridles or spurs (neckstrap is fine). Saddles can be used for how great a horse is but best riders IMO if they're riding bareback without bridles or spurs it shows true skill.

Very good
