Stacy Westfall is well-known for her natural horsemanship skills. She won a lot of championship titles utilizing only bridleless and bareback techniques.
Stacy began to ride when she was only 6. The girl developed a strong bond with every horse she knew. Stacy differs from other riders by her unique horse-training approach. She said it was very simple. The rider needs to think like a horse and virtually get inside the horse’s head. According to her official website, this idea was used by her mother for the first time. But Stacy worked hard to transform this concept for practical use.
Overestimating her role in the reining world is impossible. Stacy not only got an impressive amount of awards, but she also became a legend. Now her example inspires all riders to understand their horses and work without any harmful equipment.
I swear this video is worth watching. She did this amazing bridleless performance to win the 2011 Congress Freestyle.
