Yay! I have a achieved my goal of jumping bridless (and bareback too)! This is only my second bridless ride ever on Mercury my 5 year old warmblood. And we actually cantered and jumped. He was AWESOME. Our first bridless ride video is on here too. We are working on bridless advanced dressage next...can't wait! OMG I had to add the song called "Mercury" ...

Wow! It's amazing!!

I'd like to do just like that with my horse.

That's gonna be a dream... hohoho

What kind of breed is he?

How long were you training the horse?

Mercury is 6 now and I had him since he was 1. So I have been working with him for 5 years. I started with Natural horseship mixed with dressage and jumping or what I call my training Integrative Horsemanship!

Wow, this is really an amazing video. Very inspiring relationship between human and animal -you can see that horse totally trusts you. Very nice work!!

Thank you! I raised him from a yearling we do have a great bond!

It is possible to teach any horse anything if you work on the right things. I suggest Liberty work to build connection as the departure point for all other goals you may have. You will see a huge difference in how your horse relates to you.

Is it possible to teach an extremely desensitised horse to do this? He's lazy and doesn't respond to aids all the time... Unless he really WANTS to work... Suggestions?

Wonderful video. Had to mute the music though!

Hi Farah, again a beautiful vid. Again, like earlier, I like the patient way you go about things!

By the way, this weekend I've put in practice some of the points from your vids. 1 st. when one of my colts did not want to be cought to have the hakima put on. I did as you with your Friesian, and it sure worked!

2 nd. I mooved my "Young Spaniard, Cherokee" only with signals, no rope, not touching, no stick; and it worked. Thats 10 points for you!! Thanks, ... Klaus
