Riding Sassy Tackless In The Snow

[MichaelOnFireMusic]

The two of you are so beautiful together.

[jibbberjabbber666]

@MichaelOnFireMusic Thank you, Michael. Riding in the snow was a lot of fun ; )

[Tweeduimer]

Great ride! It is lovely to ride in different kind of weather, the bonding with the horse only grows stronger and stronger.

Riding in snow.. the snow makes the ride even more special :) It is always a pleasure to see how Sassy is doing!!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@Tweeduimer I love to mix things up. This was only our second time bridleless, and our first time in the snow! ; )

[horsefanatic2]

h e he he i want to rid bridles with my horse in the snow

[jibbberjabbber666]

@horsefanatic2 it was a cool thing to go bridleless in the snow...it was only our second time without track, and our first time riding in the snow ; )

[sharonminer]

You needed a pad?! It's warmer without :)

[jibbberjabbber666]

@sharonminer Bony horse, bony man...we need a sattle pad plus the bareback pad  ; )

[jessep500]

The snow with this is awesome!! So lucky to have snow...we've had 1 snow in the last 30 years and by the time we were going to ride it was all mush!! Sassy looks like she had a very fun ride as well!!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@jessep500 We get snow up here very rarely too. This year we ended up having a snowstorm, followed by an icestorm, followed by a windstorm, which we are currently experiencing.

Looks like so much fun! Sassy is such a cute horse =]

[jibbberjabbber666]

@empy5 Thank you! This was fun  ; )

[KarenEng]

Such a wonderful video Doug! The snow is so beautiful and it looks like Sassy is having as much fun as you are lol! And the Mozart music goes perfect with it! Favorited! :)

[jibbberjabbber666]

@KarenEng Thank you, Karen! This was fun to do. Prayed for a snow ride this year, and finally got it! ; )

Wow Sassy is such a great horse! I never rode in the snow before, but really want to! :) You are lucky to have a horse, let alone such an amazing one! ;) great ridding as well :O)

[jibbberjabbber666]

@ILOVESTORM100 Thank you, my dear. I would be happy if I rode half as well as you do. ; ) Sassy puts up with me, though, and teaches me to be a little better every day.

[jibbberjabbber666]

@7466309change I like to ride in all seasons. I am enjoying winter riding more this year than usual

[7466309change]

saddle pads are very hard.i had better luck no saddle or pad. but you may like it I did not.

[jibbberjabbber666]

@7466309change The one I put on her actually has a big nice fluffy undercoating of wool which keeps up both pretty comfortable. I think I paid about $75 for it. For around $200 you can get them with gel (like in track shoes) for even more cushion. ; )

[7466309change]

saddle pads are very hard.

[classicbreyerhorses]

WOW!

[classicbreyerhorses]

Wow you are a really good rider!!

[classicbreyerhorses]

Wow you are a really good rider!! I cant ride tackless!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@classicbreyerhorses Thank you! Most of the credit goes to the horse...she holds herself together and does just about anything I ask of her ; )

[kammisue]

White Magic :o) What a lovely video and I love the music!!! Send some of that snow our way :o) Hugs to Sassy Girl <3

[jibbberjabbber666]

@kammisue Took me a long time to get my shipment of snow from my friend in Canada, but I will try to send some your way...we have plenty of it now! ; )

[1761949]

Sassy sweet and with snow.Thanks for the video.Nice music Mozart as well

[jibbberjabbber666]

@1761949 Thank you, John. I think Mozart would have liked the music you do too. ; )

[NewfieSherry]

Hey Doug...You finally got your snowy ride.!!Love the video.Sassy looks just beautiful. She is a very tall young lady!!The music reminds me of the old Bugs Bunny cartoon that my brother and I use to watch every Saturday on CBC tv.LOL.I eally dont want to think about how long ago that was!!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@NewfieSherry Thank you! Now we are COVERED in the stuff. Yeah, the old Looney Tunes used to have all kinds of classical music. "In my day," you could even learn from the cartoons... ; )

[HorsesHoldMyHeart]

Look like so muck fun! I haven't been brave enough to venture out into the snow yet!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@HorsesHoldMyHeart I am going out to do the same thing today... ; )

[HorseRidingUni]

Love it :)<3 makes lovely clips when it's snowing! xxx ;)

[jibbberjabbber666]

@HorseRidingUni Thank you! I have been waiting on white stuff all winter! ; )

[ChickSannaWa]

lol great work ;)

[jibbberjabbber666]

@ChickSannaWa Thank you!  ; )

[BnFHorsemanship]

LOVE it!! :-) Finally you got to ride in the snow, you have been waiting for it for so long! Sassy has such grace!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@BnFHorsemanship Thank you! ; ) Yes, I finally prayed hard enough for the snow...looks like I may have prayed for three days' worth ; )

[gcpropertymanagement]

Sassy's head is just perfect. She looks like a quality western trail horse with that natural neck and head position. This can be hard to train into any horse much less an OTTB. She looks great. She is just so cute anyway that this achievement after surgery really speaks to her owner and to her abilities. Her potential is unlimited.

[jibbberjabbber666]

@gcpropertymanagement Thank you, Mary. Sassy and I did work out a verbal cue for her to keep her head and midline straight.  It also works wonders against spooks. If something suddenly catches her attention and her head goes up, she responds automatically now to "keep your head down and pay attention," which keeps her from thinking about bug-bears and shadows. Thanks again, as always, for your wonderful comment!

[iRiD3PONi3S]

Awwww, Sassy's so cute! I wish I could ride my horses tackless xD

[jibbberjabbber666]

@iRiD3PONi3S We are still working on it, but it mainly came through using leg cues more and more and less and less with the reins until we were eventually able to just take them off ; )

[pontooflover]

thats good! youtube is being dumb and wont let me reply to ANYONES messages :( that why i cant reply to your comment but thankyou!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@pontooflover Youtube is all goofy here lately...

[pontooflover]

@jibbberjabbber666 yes

[6horsecrazygurl9]

You see? I told you it would get there! As always, you and Sassy look great out there!

[jibbberjabbber666]

@6horsecrazygurl9 Thank you! And thanks again for the snow! ; ) You've hogged it all up there long enough! ; )

[6horsecrazygurl9]

@jibbberjabbber666 Hey, we like our snow :D

[jibbberjabbber666]

@6horsecrazygurl9 ; )

[Tweeduimer]

Sassy is adorable!!!! :) You do good..

[jibbberjabbber666]

@Tweeduimer Thank you! I am nowhere near your level of riding, but Sassy knows what she is doing ; )

[pontooflover]

[jibbberjabbber666]

@pontooflover Thanks! Sassy don't mind no stinking snow! ; )
