Possibly the best example of horsemanship ever........

I am fascinated by Gauchos...Some of you have seen my Bolo's here at the shop and I have a nice collection of Gaucho Falcon Knives....While watching some Gaucho Rodeo videos on youtube I came across this ride...And what a ride it is....Amazing....

My wife's descended (on her father's side) from Inca and Conquistador...Her grandfather owned a very large Estancia in the Pampa's and she grew up hearing the stories of the Gaucho's that worked her families Estancia back in the late 19th early 20th century....Which is why I always, always, walk the line...

I am actually left speechless. Damn.

 

[Vigilant]

Ummm, NO! That’s a special kind of crazy right there!

Not sure that's considered Horsmanship or not... A rodeo rider not knowing when to bail... Yes. But not horsemanship.

That's not rodeo riding, that's breaking.

That's not rodeo riding, that's breaking.

6 of 1, half a dozen of the other.

My argument remains: it ain't horsemanship. Horsemanship is getting the horse to do what you wish it to do.

A rodeo rider not knowing when to bail....

That's an Argentine trait...Mine's been married to me for 20 plus years......She could've bailed years ago but she keeps riding along...

I hit this thread expecting barrel racing and I am leaving this thread disappointed.

 

[The Bubba Effect]

Not so much barrel racing as barrel racers.

Here you go bubba...

 

[The Bubba Effect]

God bless you and yours Indi!

Not only are they both pretty, they are both already looking at the next barrel.

 

[Fullmag]

The barrel riders are pretty awesome but not as incredible as that horse and rider. The horse and the the rider were both glad that show was over because neither was going to give up. Awesome
