Sophie - Bridleless Riding Overview

Sophie was adopted from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) as a wild Mustang in October 2006. She is from the Onaqui Herd near Salt Lake City, Utah and is 14 hands. Sophie was four-years-old at the time of filming in March 2010.

This is a demonstration of Sophie's natural horsemanship. No artificial aids (saddle, bridle, halter, neck-rope, crop, etc.) were used for the Bridleless Riding. Our communication is based on legs, seat, weight, and voice. Sophie has spent three years doing foundation-building groundwork and hunter under-saddle training.
