barrel racer asked:

I have been riding my horse Star for many years. And I am riding her with a rope around the neck, I can gallop her, stop her, turn her perfectly. But I want to teach her how to ride with no rope, but how can I ride with no rope around the neck. Just with no tack?

    Start to teach her to stop with your feet, like put you heels into her chest when you want her to stop, while stoping her with the rope.
    Basically you want to teach her the cues you need with just your body while you still have the rope, and eventually you’ll have her trained.

    The only thing I can recommend is to check out Pat Parelli’s website and videos…I hope this helps.
