Ride a wild mustang - bitless, barefoot and blindfolded!

[trisheeloveslucas]

Omg I cried)! Beautiful beautiful beautiful! What a bond! God bless you and all these wonderful animals!

First off...the trust this horse has for the human is awesome. So for that, I will applaud this video. However. Not all horses can go barefoot like the mustang. Some horses have softer feet and require shoes.

You can purchase a Nurtural Bitless at nurturalhorse-com and at many tack stores. Check the dealer list to see if there is a dealer near you.

Where can i get a nurteral bitless bridal?

[MsHardy77]

unbeleivable how much trust this horse has in its rider

[ArchDandy1134]

My ottb mare has a MONSTER stop in a bitless bridle, don't let anyone tell you any different, you don't need to hurt your horse to have control.

There is an even better video and explanation of how and why on the Nik Kokal /HorseTenders videos. Shows Kris Kokal in the finals, he placed 3rd! He also taught the horse to drive in the less than 100 days of teaching a wild horse everything for a major competition!

[NurturalHorse]

Good for you - to all the folks who are defending and appreciating the skill it takes to bring a horse to this level.

No, this horse was not scared. He was trained gently with no bits, no spurs, no shoes.

You should have seen the poor horses in bits and what other riders did..

See the difference from bit to bitless in 2 other mustangs at my main channel.

that's sad... he used to be free! He must have been scared. :(

To all the people who have critiqued this young mans performance: Please go to the Extreme Mustang Makeover website and fill out your own application and please instill all your wisdom and techniques in that mustang in 100 days or less.Those of us competing work extremely hard and the word WILD is a definite understatement. If you think you can do better prove it and fill out the application and try to get approved! Great job Kris from a fellow EMM trainer!

Interesting how those that have not brought a free range wild mustang up to this level of training in 100 days are somewhat critical of those that can and do.

Geez, another clueless rider. God help these poor animals and save them from cowboys. If nothing else, the bitless bridle is a God-send for these horses, at least they won't be bleeding at the mouth after every ride.

[cowgirl22hannah]

This rider was fairly rough and "loud" with his leg and hands. Hia aids were pushy, bitless with a calm subtle rider might have impressed me. This makes me want to stick to my bit and my soft hands.

[theeyesofanother]

@cowgirl22hannah Couldn't agree with this comment more. He was kicking awfully hard, his hands were "loud" as well as his aids. Bumper spurs don't hurt a horse and neither will a bit when used properly.

[03firefly]

the woman says "isn't that a nicer way to back a horse up" Nicer way than what? Than using your legs? Because that puts no pressure on a bit. Keeping contact with the reins and using your legs? The pressure on the horse's mouth is at all no way harmful to a horse; it's the same amount of pressure you use to stop a horse. Or are you comparing it to pulling both reins until a horse backs up? That puts barely any more pressure on the bit than the previous method I mentioned. Definitely not harmful.

[03firefly]

@03firefly If you're comparing it to yanking at the horse's mouth or pulling back very far or hard, then blame the rider, not the bit.

[gcoxalaska]

I'm not so sure what you guys are so impressed with. Bad backup, sloppy leads. It just wasn't that great... As for bits or bit-less, a bit is only as severe as the hands that hold it...

[Maishley]

@gcoxalaska Was that performance jaw dropping? No. But was it impressive? Of course! That horse was once wild. You expect the horse to know lead changes? The rider could have been calmer absolutely, he needed some work on his technique absolutely. I don't know if I would ride my horse blindfolded, and if I did...it would be a walk in a round pen, no trotting, no loping.

[NurturalHorse]

That is great! I hope it is the Nurtural Bitless. Our Circle-X makes a huge difference. Zoe

[CowGirl259]

thats so cool!

i really want to try bitless but i dont hav a horse of my own! :(

the riding school im moving to only uses bitless bridles though! :DD
