Description
Update on 26.11.2008:Update of the picture: I started the editing from scratch and then increased quality and colors. I changed the title from "Western Riding", which is the German version, I guess, into the English "Bareback Riding". (Thanks for the comments, btw). I also changed the framing style to my new one. Now the quality is good enough to finally be sold as a print!_________
This is what we call in Austria "Western Riding". In America it's "Bareback Riding" I have been told.
I like it a alot: Jumping over an obstacle without seddle or anything like that
Because I have been asked. I can do this as well but as I am the one behind the camera you will never see a picture of it
This photo was taken right afterwards . I like it too.

My internal ranking
- Very emotive, powerful and colorful. I like it very much! One of my early shots.

This is very cool, and I love bareback riding, but remember that jumping a horse bareback can really hurt their back if it's done too much. <3

Wow. I've always wanted to do that.
Can I just ask how on earth she managed to steer the horse with just its mane? Or did you edit out the bridle or something?

Usually, people who ride without a bridle (the image isn't edited), guide the horse with their legs

It was, thank you! We have started using leg signals instead of rein ones in our lessons recently - particularly for leg yielding.

you can do liberty (no equipment) riding too? t's amazing. I've been told two things of riding styles:
-bareback-no saddle is needed but a bridle is used
-liberty riding-no equipment is required for riding. it's amazing you can jump without a bridle

I prefer bareback, though I also did some liberty riding.

Aww nice photo!
I tried bareback riding for the first time the other day and went over a jump, it's funny xD
I think my jumping position went a bit terrible but oh well
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Lol, when I jump bareback, I don't even think about my position...I concentrate on just trying to stay on! Which is hard with my crazy pony

Lol yeah I was on a crazy pony too ^^

I would definitely buy a print of this one, if I could. Maybe someday.
What an amazing feeling of freedom this photo gives. The horse and rider look like they're one. I love how bright the colors are.

scary!
i've always, always i tell you, wanted to learn to jump
but the ranch i currently ride at, doesn't offer that. and i don't wanna switch yet. i've fallen in love with one of the lesson horses
i've ridde with no saddle before, but no bridle O_O woah dude, i would freak out
i'm glad you're brave xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hehe, good luck with learning that. It's fun, but you need quite some balance and (most imporant) a horse that you can trust in, that when you fall down, it will stop!

Hey, is there any special technique to get on the horse in bareback riding?
A very good shot, and a lovely capture
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hey
If you are really good, you kind of jump and swing on/up to the horse. Others use benches to climb on that, but I prefer number one
Thank you.
I will reedit this deviation soon, be sure to check it out.

Here in america it is called bareback whenever you are riding with no saddle. Not just jumping. Western is like hunter....ya....
Great Shot!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know, I have heard that. Probably I will reedit this one, too, like I did with some other deviations.
Thanks, anyway

What a beautiful photo of a wonderful-looking horse and rider combination!
In America we do call it bareback riding, though there are a few "western" riders like Pat Parelli who jump horses without aid of a bridle or saddle.
Thanks for sharing!
