Stacy Westfall Doesn't Even Have to Whisper.
Stacy Westfall, the young woman riding the horse, is in her 20's - her dad had died just 44 days before this performance. Notice that it is just she and the horse - no bit, no saddle. She just uses signals and cues, she stays mute. Oh yeah, this isn't even her horse. She is training it for someone else, although she obviously has a relationship with this one.

Those of you who do not ride horses need to know how difficult this is. I have never seen anyone ride like that ,this is what they call centered riding, what balance, and what a wonderful animal. Thanks for sharing this with everyone. Michael
Virg, you've posted one of my all-time favorite videos. It is a good example of the evolutionary leap that has occurred in horse training, for which I can give my gender (who now represent 70% of horse owners) a great deal of the credit. It is what I aspire to with my own equine companions.
This woman is amazing with horses. She is not, however, mute. She speaks quite well. She has been on several talk shows and actually gives the horse some vocal commands while in this event.
Stacy, what an amazing and strong person you are. Truly, you are the horse whisperer!
