  • WOW!!!!!!!!
    That girl is an amazing rider!! She rode a whole course, fast, without her stirrups and i couldn't have noticed a difference in her posture/seat at all!!!!
    She should become a professional rider.
    I hope i will be able to ride like that someday. :)

  • wow that was amazing! she kept her balance, seat posture, heels.. everything. she even kept her horse calm while the irons hit the horses sides. kudoss to her!!

  • Isn't that just amazing? I know I couldn't do that. How stressful would that be? She will probably be a very famous rider someday. She already is in my mind!

  • Talk about balance!!! I wish i was as balanced... Her horse was probibily young she did a good job keeping control most of the ride...my horse has never acted like that with me on his back so i haven't had that experiance (yet)LOL Good Job
