Sans rider. For those of you not familiar with this,

it is an event called Pole Bending. This is pretty

amazing this horse would go it alone, if you turn your

speaks up, you will hear how he wow'd the crowd:

And they tell us this is to show the skill of the rider ?

No, this one is a timed event. But yeah, obviously, except

where he hit that one pole (which a rider might have been

able to avoid) with a stirrup, he did excellent by himself.

I used to do a lot of these events though years ago, and

I've never seen a loose horse go out and do anything by

themselves!

My granddaughter does this, and Barrel racing.

Her Arabian is so good, she pretty much lets him run.

Her job is to stay in the saddle and tuck in the stirrups.

Certainly got him well trained
