What a wonderful horse Vikingo is, lively, energetic and challenging, very much a typical stallion, not to be recommended to beginners.

Such a horse demands an excellent rider, physically fit and mentally strong to survive all his testing.

The video shows that he has got such an excllent rider - Becca can handle him perfectly, stop him always in time before he gets too hot.

Wonderful ride, Becca, on such a difficult horse.

And without bridle and bit - you really dare a lot!

No risk - no fun?

Beautiful stallion, but he sure is full of himself.

^_^ Who's in the background? At first I thought it was me but then I realized I wasn't around then. XD

How do you ask a paso to fino? Im having trouble?

Just one thing. Invest in an inexpensive baffle to cut down on the wind noise.

Excellent riding, Becca!

Sidestepping, reversing, circling nicely - you really know how to ride that lively stallion.

And whenever he challenges you, you know exactly how to react to convince him to do what you want.

Vikingo is a great horse - and you are the perfect rider for him.

Let us see more of your riding.
