~ Paso Fino style ~

Ladybug and Lynn starting a canter... The "warm-up" part of Bridleless Riding. Leave on the bridle and ride with dropped reins to get a feel of the horse's attitude before removing the bridle.

Ladybug and Lynn at a Paso Corto... Ladybug is listening with her ears as well as her body to get the cues to know what to do.

Ladybug and Lynn at a corto starting to go into a turn... Ladybug's ear is turned to the inside direction that she is being asked to turn. Lynn is crossing the neck rope to apply pressure on the outside of the neck.

Did someone say Largo?! Perfect rhythm in a longer and faster Paso Largo stride. Ladybug's mane and tail are flying high. What Unbridled Fun!
