Awww, now you've gone and thrown a craving on me! The only thing lacking was the smell-o-vision for the hay/saddle soap/horse sweat effect. lol Hope she wasn't planning on going out dancing in those white pants afterward.

I've only ever seen one other girl in my life, many, many years ago that could ride like that without tack as in that first video. Practically have to be a horse whisperer to do it.

Thanks :0)

Lynn Palm, down in Florida, was the first I ever saw do that at the NRHA finals in the late 80s. The horse, Rugged Lark, was a stallion and AQHA Superhorse two years running.

Looking at the first video, when she was in the chute I thought she was going to run barrels or poles. I thought, "Okay, hold on for the ride." First one was more impressive, especially the sliding stops. What would have been interesting would have been to see a "keyhole" turn following the stops. How old is she, anyway?

uh... a twenty something? I don't know. I found her quite by accident while looking for a video on aquaponics. I haven't really kept up with what's going on in the horse world but she makes me think of Pat & Linda Parelli. They always have lots of bareback work in their videos.
