A bridle horse is often admired not only for its functional abilities but also for its aesthetics. The vaquero tradition places great emphasis on presentation, with the horse being a symbol of the rancher's skill. A finely trained bridle horse is often seen as a work of art, with smooth, coordinated movements and a deep bond between rider and animal that is evident in every step. This horses name was Blue Duck owned by Martin Black at the time.

Ive found that giving a horse job to do as opposed to just training seems to help them come through so much better, not saying you shouldn't train your horse, but the training becomes the by product of the job at hand which gives both a purpose. For example the horse in this picture is a off the track thoroughbred Ive been riding for a few days. As usual he had some major anxiety issues however giving him a job flagging Colts, roping, opening gates, ect.. he has come along way.

An independent seat is crucial for horse riding because it ensures balance and stability without relying on the reins. This improves communication with the horse, leading to better responsiveness and comfort, as excessive rein use can cause discomfort. Additionally, it enhances safety for both rider and horse by reducing the risk of falls. An independent seat is also necessary for advanced riding techniques and builds rider confidence. To develop this skill, riders should focus on core strength, correct posture, and seat exercises. This fosters a harmonious and effective partnership between rider and horse.
