Stacy Westfall Championship Bareback & Bridleless Freestyle Reining with Roxy

[@BFProductionsLLC]

This video never fails to choke me up. The connection between horse and rider is beyond words. Stacy may not have realized at the time she was making a video that will forever be the Gold Standard of partnership.

[@rasheedharoon9669]

Very good

[@Wolfiewolfgirl]

It's like you just know her dad is sitting in heaven, watching her and cheering her on. I cry so much when I watch this.

[@justsayin1349]

Horses are just the most amazing animals on the planet. Watching this literally gave me chill bumps!! They truly are spiritual creatures. .. . Anyone that truly loves these animals knows exactly the feeling I'm talking about. I miss being around them so much.

[@backwoodsgirl8519]

I can relate! I lost my dad when I was 27! Never easy no matter the age! Tears flowing as soon as heard the announcer getting choked up! Beautiful ride for her dad!

[@colleenj8357]

Obviously the horse and rider have a close bond.......beautiful horse, gifted rider.

[@melkay]

This video is amazing. The relationship you have to have with your horse for all of this is just incredible. Beautiful.

[@Dobiegal]

This mare's perfect conformation is what makes her such a smooth easy ride. The chemistry between horse and rider is what makes them winners.

[@tinamartin1267]

This whole video was nothing less than beautiful. From getting tears listening to the announcer talk about this woman and her just losing her dad, to getting goosebumps from the performance matching with the song.... amazing, I absolutely loved it 🤗😉😊❤️

[@84fishon]

I have watched this video so many times, and still get chills and cry. It feeds my heart! What an amazing tribute to a Father, and a true oneness with horse and rider! I LOVE IT!!!

[@horselover101x]

I love this. She seems like such an insperation! Shes so talented! My little brother (hes 4) was sitting here watching this with me and he was like "Theres a princess.." I was like "Aww..."

[@catherinemartinez6581]

By far the best I've seen! What an amazing relationship between a horse and rider! Wow! So beautiful ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@baldnfabulous]

What a sweet tribute! Stacy, I cried and smiled throughout, wishing I could have watched it w my dad, in heaven since '85.♡+

[@jadesluv]

Amazing,, I bet a lot of people viewing dont realize how difficult it is to ride like you have without saddle and reins

[@tj48649]

I never tire of watching this.

[@LakkerEdits]

this is the most amazing and inspiring clip i've ever seen... the bond she has with her horse is so amazing.. I hope I can learn some of her techniques someday soon!

[@sandeepsaxena8266]

Phenomenal riding and a beautiful horse

[@susanneberg5891]

Absolutely fantastic! Well done both of you!💕

[@vronelblocker8777]

well done! riding techniques like this display in the performance was very common a few centuries ago when originally it was used for mounted combat where the warriors needed hands free to fire arrows from bows, swing their swords and hold their shields while at the same time directing their war steed out on the battle field. it truly is a fascinating thing to behold

[@karaamundson3964]

However... The invention of the stirrup made swordsmanship much more successful. I believe it arose in India first, just loops of cloth or leather. Then wood in China, then iron in Europe.

[@FullmetalAngyl]

When the announcer choked up, that choked me up.

[@mobont5172]

Incroyable, superbe démonstration Je n'ai jamais vu une communication aussi fine avec une monture sans bride. J'en ai eu les larmes aux yeux!😌 MERCI, MERCI, MERCI

[@gillesguillaumin6603]

This love between them, it's really touching. unbeleavable how a horse is beautyfull

[@jejeelias3313]

Wow!!!! Amazing talent wonderful relationships you have with your horse is phenomenal congratulations!!!

[@kayegillanders8819]

I'm choked up watching her. Awesome xx

[@kistenfiege]

I can see, believe, and I am so TOUCHED by the LOVE..... There is someone looking down saying... "Thats my girl"..I am so moved with this..My score would be.. "Not a number HIGH enough"... I love you Ms. Stacy..Your are BEAUTIFUL!!!.. Keep riding..

[@kitkat2416]

such a beautiful partnership between horse and rider. truly inspiring.

[@mobont5172]

Absolutly magnific. Thanks. 🙏👍👍👍

[@cupofmaddyVODS]

This is real communication. I real rider should be able to get a horse to do anything without having to use pain and control. It should always be about being equal partners with the same goal. This is the best example of that.

[@misplacedhillbilly7594]

That was a beautiful ride

[@docsprincess355]

congrats Stacy you are truely mind blowing and 3years ago this video was sent to me and it inspired my grandfather who id suffering from cancer to keep going, I really enjoy watching you ride

[@tamikoestomo3275]

Incredibly beautiful!!

[@karenstefani4611]

Apresentação incrível, maravilhosa. Trabalho lindo, parabéns Stacy 😌🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@santossaldana8535]

This horse carries his head higher than the bridled reigning horses do, and this is wonderful..!! The NRHA horses look as though they are asleep when doing their competition. This horse has it's head up higher and looks more like a horse should look like. Wonderful, just wonderful..!!!

[@larrysullivan6536]

Brilliant what a horse and what a rider love it larry in London xx

[@jojomontee]

This is inspiring and amazing at the same time!! Loved it!!

[@glenndab123]

Well done!!!

[@rpa2mog821]

The horse loved it so did I

[@kayegillanders8819]

I used to have bareback lessons but still had a bridle. It's not easy but helps you get a great seat x

[@paulschmidtke425]

In the beginning stages of riding , the rider acomponies the horse ,, in the middle stages of training the horse and rider acomponie each other , in the final stage of riding the horse accompanies the rider , great display of the final stage

[@nrthrndncr]

Thank You so much, Stacy. Compelling & beautiful, you too:-) Hug the Rox for me & a little Beet Pulp might just hit the spot. Father God's Blessings on You & Yours, Always Yaya

[@jessicawebb5725]

Amazing!

[@LoveyouScotches]

Good Job Stacy!!!!!! Good Job Roxy!!!

[@falconfeathers9454]

AN AMAZING HORSE, ROXY, IN PERFECT MATCH WITH HORSE WHISPERER STACY WESTFALL (NEITHER SADDLE NOR BRIDLE). Sorry about your dad, tears flowed when I heard your announcers voice choke up as he told us you had just lost him 24 days ago and were dedicating the ride to him. 1,351,001 views

[@6812Angela]

Most beautiful I've seen u go girl

[@frankfrazierjr.3216]

Stacey, your daddy wasn't by chance Buddy Westfall, was it? Your daddy has to be awfully proud of you. Yo did a great job.

[@Socksee]

Sooooo beautiful . .

[@fitoibarra7409]

Hermosa cabalgadura!🙏👌

[@janechurch5060]

Awesome communication between horse and rider. Amazing. The one thing that would make it absolutely perfect is if she wasn't using spurs- just leg cues. Great job and her Dad definitly is proud of her sitting front row in heaven!!!

[@GoingForBroken]

Look at Roxy using her tail! Awesome! Many reiners block the nerves in horses' tails so they can't swish them.

[@BigWheelHawaii]

This Is Like Magic,,, 'Hello God",,,, "Hello Daddy",,,,

[@bigbuck848]

Speechless!!

[@dannywojkiewicz503]

Good job Stacy good riding

[@eddie197200]

How did they do that!!!

[@glorybound11]

it all depends on your level of dedication, knowledge, skills and how good a horse you got.

[@tinafuller9306]

Gives me goosebumps. That how I taught to ride

[@GoingForBroken]

Compare and contrast the art and beauty of Stacy's ride to the sad one shown on FEI Reining World video on EponaTV channel.

[@annemettemortensen1022]

Great Hors 🐎

[@cindynoble1583]

WOW❤️

[@pawpower12]

[@TaiMizuki]
