I went all in at the āNo Stirrups Novemberā theme with Willow and determined to to do No Saddle Novemberā¦which was āBare Horse Novemberā.
Let me give an explanation for. I began by way of committing to trip Willow bareback all of the month. She has been ridden bareback sooner than, but it surely have been awhile.
Iāve been running on using her bridleless, so all the way through my first few bareback rides I realize she was once overly delicate. I dedicated to easily using her bareback for the primary part of the month to offer her a possibility to regulate.
NOTICE: I gave myself restrictions. I didnāt say āonce she relaxesā, I in reality sought after her to head past thatā¦and I didnāt need to query myself each and every trip. So I determined to reevaluate after 10-12 extra rides.
The day before today I reevaluated and in keeping with what Iāve been watching I determined to do Willows first bareback and bridleless trip. No neck rope, not anything, apart from horse and rider.
It was once a 20 minute trip in overall. Twelve mins warming up with the bridle on however the reins free, then I pulled the bridle off. Iāve edited that 8 mins right down to a spotlight reel for you.
