About this video

Behaviourist Sarah Fisher, demonstrates the art of riding without a bridle using the veteran mare Sage and her owner Corine. Starting with both a bridle and a neck ring (plus the 'wand'), Sarah ensures Corine has brakes and horse and rider are feeling safe and secure. When the bridle comes off Corine demonstrates all paces and jumps! The mare moves freely and enjoys herself. Sarah says riding without a bridle is addictive. It's useful for older horses, horses that fall out through the shoulder, tilt their head or are jammed at the poll. Riders improve their posture, balance and confidence. Sarah gets Horse Hero's Fiona Price to join in the fun too!

Sarah Fisher 2 Jan 2012 Hi Maddie - it needs to be firmer than a loose leather strap to be able to give a signal to turn on the neck without actually pulling the neck round - we sell them here through the online shop at Tilley Farm - they come in blue or green now - best wishes and thank you for your nice comment - Happy New Year
maddie21 1 Jan 2012 Sarah, Great video! where would you get a neck ring or could you use a lose leather strap or lead rope? Thanks
charlieboy 25 Sep 2011 That looks like a lot of fun - just like the show horses at Apassionata!
Sarah Fisher 12 Mar 2011 Hi Emma - it is a Sensation saddle made by Nickers - I think there is a distributor here - they are made in Canada and are treeless - we use them a lot and they are really comfortable for both the horse and the rider - best wishes Sarah
emmafoyle 11 Mar 2011 I love the whole lack of tension with the horses way of going, plus the strong trust element that 's 2 way (the horse allowing someone on their back and the rider not having a hunk of metal in the horse's mouth). What make of saddle is Sage wearing? It looks super comfy for both horse and rider.
