Brought tears to my eyes

At the National Congress for Quarter Horses, competing horses must
perform pre-set patterns in the show ring. Walk to side-left, walk to
side-right, spin-left, spin-right, figure eight pattern-wide, figure eight
pattern-tight, walk, trot, gallup, and then must finish by tucking rump
under and doing stop/slides, then backing up. Riders work with saddle,
bit and bridle. They are given three tries in the arena, and the score
from their best ride is used.

This young woman, Stacy Westfall, had already decided to use the
score from a prior run. She used her third time in the arena as an
"exhibition ride". She dedicated it to her father who had passed away
less than a month before. She completes the entire pattern without saddle or bridle.

Absolutely incredible that she can do this with just a signal to the horses maine.
