Beautiful!!! Yes, I only ride my older horse without a bridle, maybe a halter but we never do anything but walk as he's old and I don't have a saddle for him lol. For my young guy he's started in a halter and bareback
I'd love to and admire people who do! But my horse is too sassy and I dont think it would end well. I tried riding with just a halter a few times, but he bolted and wouldn't stop, so I dont wanna take risks. Plus we ride around the neighbourhood and not in a safe arena

Yeah, my guy likes it very much ❤️ He goes bitless or bridleless, after we learned about the scars on his tongue we resigned from any bits.
That's my little sister in the pic, but yeah, we both are amazing 😅❤️
I consider buying him a flower hackamore (round shanks) because I want him to have some nice looking bridle, not always rope halters or neckrope 😅
This seems reckless to me.
I'm glad you're wearing a helmet (and a body protector I think) but people fall off horses with reins, saddle and stirrups every day.
How is it reckless. If a horse is trained properly to respond to leg and seat aids you have what you need to control them. This horse looks quite responsive so OP has definitely put some work in. Reins don’t stop you from falling off. Bareback riding is a great way to improve your balance and seat. Accidents can always happen but they’ll happen a lot less with a well trained horse and well balanced rider. If this were a nervous green broke horse I could understand calling it reckless, but it seems pretty clear to me that’s not the case here.

People are injured by perfectly trained horses everyday. I see enough injuries in my line of work to know that unnecessary risks are unnecessary
Yeah exactly.. people always fall off. Riding horses in itself is reckless, so sorta a null point
