Look Mom NO HANDS or reins or bridle!
Everyone knew that this was bound to happen, it was just a matter of time. Kirstin finally worked up the nerve to try riding Taz bridleless. She slowly worked up to this point. For weeks she has been practicing riding Taz without holding onto the reins and this weekend Kirstin decided it was time to try this for real. Taz did a great job. Stops were a little on the slow side, but he eventually stopped each time Kirstin asked for it.
Kirstin had to slowly work up to removing Taz's bridle. She started out with just a halter and reins, then she removed the reins and eventually removed the halter. The expression on her face says it all. She was amazed that Taz did this so well. It will be awhile before she will try this outside of the round pen but she was so excited that she was able to accomplish this.
