Incredible horsemanship! I was a Jockey in the early 1970s and I can tell you the thrill of riding a Thoroughbred is out of this world. To do it ala Indian, bareback and as a relay team is out of this universe! I so enjoyed this I want to go west and watch a race in person.

This is so incredible! The physical strength and stamina it takes to ride bareback, especially at a gallop, is insane. I can’t imagine jumping off and right back on again as well- SO much strength is required to be able to do that. I would love to learn more about what they look for. I imagine they prefer to find TBs who stand closer to 15h or are on the smaller side in general because it’s easier to mount and dismount. I’m so worried about the safety of the horses and the people involved, but I can see that the horses are all very well cared for and loved, and I’m sure they’re doing everything they can to avoid collisions. Thank you so much for sharing this with the world! Although I hope to see this make its way into the mainstream, I certainly won’t be trying this on my ex-racehorse mare 🤣

Because that’s the idea. It is way harder to ride a horse without a saddle. Riding bareback takes a lot to strength and it’s challenging; it can demonstrate how skilled and strong a horse rider is, gotta have very strong legs. saddle makes it way easier, wouldn’t take as much leg effort compared to riding bareback.

This is reflective of how horse racing was in great depression. Money and dangerous entertainment ("a lot of injuries") is so lucrative , kind of gladatorial / important. How many horses are injured. 100 k prize money. Indian relay is way for cultures to survive bad conditions and save our mustangs, too. But it is a shame it has to be as dangerous as horse racing became in great depression. Scary that they are buying domestic sprinters. Poor horses. Their genetics may be fast but not tough. Not mustangs. They "connect to 200 yrs ago, warrior background" but are turning toward domestic sprinters??? They need to honor the indian horse. The native horse.
