the absolute irony of most of those competitions is that the prize is a saddle!!!!!
What a great horse and what a talented trainer. That method of training is so natural and honest. The horses do not suffer the bridle, spurs at all. The horses, when trained well, trust the rider completely.
However, most of those maneuvers are necessary when using the horse to work cattle. Riding without a saddle wouldn't be too helpful when roping :)
Now, if we could get the hunter/jumper/dressage bunch to see this video! Gone would be the double bridles!
