Outstanding riding between horse and rider. Her Dad would be so proud of her. My Dad put me on a horse at age 2 and there I went. Miss my Dad every day. He taught me to be strong and never stopped me from doing the things I love.

The Horse spinning around is perfect "burn out", when a Horse wins the Kentucky Derby, Preakness 😁

[@cathycrouch3005]

Beautiful ❤️

[@debtompkins5363]

there are those who would ban horse competition, when actually it should be striving for this instead of seeing how much the vet, farrier, tack and crazy courses can con volute the horse human equation... don't kill the dream, realize it

[@sheilamobley2480]

Is she riding bare back?

[@Chestnutcow]

She sure is! Not one piece of leather on that horse!

[@positiveherdingdog1369]

Yes & without a bridle!

I don’t see this as positive horse training at all and it sort of diminishes your stance on positive methods via your inclusion of it here possibly ?

[@emilycarr1644]

This is not positive reinforcement training at all. All of this is based off of negative reinforcement and positive punishment.

[@susandivirgilio4551]

Are you insane? If you pay attention at all, this is mostly leg work. How is that punishment? It's incredible training and teamwork

[@josephineatkins8254]

@@susandivirgilio4551 when you break the behavioural analysis down, leg work is all pressure and release. By definition this s a flowing use of R- and P+

[@josephineatkins8254]

@@susandivirgilio4551 and you’re quite free to do so. But Behavioural Science cannot be manipulated to suit an agenda. Horse riding has long since been the only animal training that seems to have advocates that feel they can use a very liberal interpretation of the science Adding pressure to elicit a response and removing it is NEGATIVE REINFORCEMENT. Adding pressure to cause a Behavior to cease is POSITIVE PUNISHMENT I’ve ridden for many years in both traditional methods used for showing, eventing, hunting to hounds, dressage and endurance. I then moved towards what I thought at the time was a gentler way (what we see here in this film) a “natural horsemanship” approach. It’s all the same method just with different language to describe the science. And the NH does indeed tend toward pseudo science in its explanations of the behavioural processes and indeed the horses emotional motivations for their behaviour which is pure anthropomorphic nonsense.
