Have to say, the canter half pass left he shows at 1:55 in this video is quite good! I'm an FEI level dressage rider, and we also happen to own a traditional working cattle ranch, so I fully appreciate both worlds!!

Wow, look how much that horse can collect in a western saddle! Does anyone know if it has to do with the rider sitting father back? Beautiful horse by the way!!

Thank you for the kind comment. Everyday we get to wake up and do what we love best...we are truly fortunate.

Dear Eitan, I am glad to know that you feel better and ride again. I wanted to write few words to let you know that you truly are an inspiration for all of us. I am from Europe and wished people from this part of the globe would know more about you and your riding style. You took the very best from both culture and created this unique and so functional riding style. You are one in a million and your life time is not enough.

I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Cowboys are the better dressage rider. :)

fantastic riding, i have now watched this video 20 times and show it to every one. This is dressage, this is how you should ride your horse if using bridle and other tack

Funny thing is.... this is how western USED TO BE PERFORMED in the 50's and 60's. The horses all had self carriage, they used romel reins, and the horses, though slow jog trot, had lovely collection when performing. And some how... the trend slowly drifted to the peanut pushes we see today.

i have never seen western dressage before in all my 16 years of riding. very interesting and amazingly beautiful. its jsut deffernt in wester, so very soothing

[breyerbabe99]

beautiful horse!!

About the riding it bridleless? How many in the world can do this at all?...isn't that enough? I ride bridleless and with a bridle....it isn't about the bridle believe me. It is about the feel. You can't teach feel.....you can teach people how to ride without a bridle. Its not to difficult. So, even though your comment is meant with the best and most sincere of intent, you miss the point. Watch it again and again and then again

[kkent001]

Watch this video twice; first with the music, and then with no sound. Truly amazing what you can see and hear, but better to feel it!

beautiful horse, wonderful movements

[stinahumana]

Very beautiful riding, very light signals, very motivated horses,

could you do this without the halter too?

I am just about start dressage training with my horses as we now have good contact on the ground and looking for beautiful dressage. Happy to find your site, thank you very much for sharing.

P.s- Whats the palominos pedigree? And does the rider have any sons :p

[CowboyDressage]

I am no longer sure. He is in Hawaii now. I know he came from FL. He is now a gelding. He was a "one and only" type horse. The rider has no sons, just a daughter.

[gryphonkeen]

O, they gelded him?? What a shame!!! He is an unbelievable horse. What a pity

[nfrgurl]

@CowboyDressage Hawaii? What island? :P

[CowboyDressage]

He does have frozen semen in CO and has settled mares with it.

[asbsrbest]

@gryphonkeen - The Palomino is a registered American Saddlebred. He is by Galahad's Gold Mine (bottom line goes to the Belvedere breeding for color, top line to Ruxer Farms and Supreme Sultan). Out of Fairview's Feather who has a bottom line tracing to Stonewall King.
