this is the sweetest thing i've seen all day. don't pay any attention to those negative comments! they're just trying to build themselves up by putting you down. you and your pony are wonderful and obviously share trust and respect.

[1horse4me]

@chrisvpena Thank you so much:) I love this pony a lot, an i know its not technically natural horsemanship but thats why the title is what it is:)) Thank you for being supportive <3

@1horse4me is the song by ryan cabrera? sounds like him.

[1horse4me]

@chrisvpena Um, I think it's Secondhand Serenade, but im not 100% sure:P

@1horse4me once in a while it indeed isn't but when you do this very often it can cause some serious back problems after a while, for example :

a sore back

dipping, flinching, violent tail swishing when grooming the back

stiffness on one rein

unlevelness or unevenness of steps

reluctance to jump

crookedness

bucking, rearing, not wanting saddle on, refusing to stand still when being mounted.

etc. ;-)

once again if you dont do this really often it wont matter, and i really admire your balance

[1horse4me]

@lissisanne This pony is almost 8 and has been ridden and jumped bareback since he was saddle broke. He still has no problems.

[1horse4me]

@lissisanne actually its not bad for the horses back at all. This was from a while go some my posistion wasn't that great. Jmping without a saddle doesn't do anything to a horses back.

No.. I don't call this nateral horse manship I call it some one jumping 2ft bare back

@Junolover1997 @dietcokegirl118 is right... you AREN'T supposed to stand in your stirrups... you're supposed to use your legs to momentarily hold yourself out of the saddle (to give the horse freedom) while you follow the horse's natural motion.(rather than forcing an unnatural "two point") Good jumpers ride and jump without stirrups (or bareback) just to make their legs strong enough so they don't put too much weight in the stirrups (aka standing in the stirrups).

that horse is SO CUTE!!!

[Samhwain]

i congratulate you! incredible balance you have there and a wonderful bond with your horse!

[Samhwain]

@kaityluvs1 getting a horse to trust you IS true natural horsemanship (not today's crap but what was used hundreds of years ago by native americans) I use native american methods from way back when today still and my horses trust me better then horses I've seen handled since birth by the same person. 'natural' horsemanship just implies deep trust and a bond between horse and rider.
