PINTOGIRLIE RR Addict (2300) | But sometimes you may have to earn your horses trust in order for them to listen to you when riding tackless.

Georgia=) RR Addict (1861) | I personally find that most horses don't want to hurt you. If you give them trust, they usually seem to look after you. I ride tackless when I feel like my horse and I are going well as a team. I don't 'train' to get to that point, I just make sure I'm wearing a helmet and get on. I trust my horses, and they never take advantage of that.

PINTOGIRLIE RR Addict (2300) | Your horse has to want to please. They have to trust you and you him/her. its a lot of fun but its not easy at first and can be really scary sometimes.

aliceimo Apprentice (4) | You can ride with just a halter and leadrope and thats fine. Casually hopping on your horse bareback, halter and leadrope, to take it back to the paddock, I've found doesn't worry any horses i've done that with. When riding the natural way theres a lot to learn, I don't know a lot and I prefer english riding... You need a rope halter and a 12ft horsemanship leadrope. Do lots and lots of ground work with your horse with the rope halter and 12ft leadrope. Theres lots of parelli games to do. One game is you stand directly infront of your horse holding the leadrope, theres 4 phases. The first one you do is you shake your finger, if they don't back up, you shake the leadrope using your hand, if they still don't back up you shake the leadrope using your lower arm and hand, and if they don't back up then, then you shake your whole arm. Its hard to explain and its better getting someone to teach you. The horse should be backing up straight and you should train your horse so it backs up straight just by you wiggling your finger. Theres a lot to learn with it, natural horsemanship riding includes riding one handed, keeping the rein in your outside hand, then when you want to turn, picking up the rein, and with the inside hand opening up, using inbetween your thumb and finger, turn the horse.. its so hard to explain lol  I prefer english riding, or riding bareback in a bridle  Hope that helped though.

I'd say. It took me just over a month to do it properly on Tequila.

PINTOGIRLIE RR Addict (2300) | Im giving it ago atm with my pony, shes responding really well.
I first made sure that she was listening to me really well with the bridle and saddle, then I gave it a go with a rope around her neck in some big pens, (just walking around) and then I rode bareback with a bridle heaps to get good balance.
Then I did LOADS of research and began practicing steering and stopping with my legs and seat and then once we were sort of good, I started riding bareback in the arena with a bridle for safety and a neck rope and now we are up to ridng with a halter with reins and neck rope and its going well. I normally helps if you trust yur horse too haha I hope i made sense and helped a bit
