Did anybody find an objection to the whip, or head tossing above as was found in the La Cobra clip. Johnny Herriott, how many "salads" can be found, as little as they do in the above and below clips.
In the clip above and the clip below, which horses looked "less afraid" and which horses would stand less chance of injury, should they suddenly decide to be horses and run?
"I've been coached to regard liberty horse acts with them as less than those that have just a halter. " Completion correctly of the asked for behavior/trick should constitute what is more difficult. If it isn't completed as the above two clips illustrate, how difficult can it be? Is the completion off, not more impressive then the attempt at?

Both acts without harness are a disaster. We see Sylvia totally out of her circus element trying to do an act [her regular act] in a large taped area. What a runaway mess. I would imagine the 'horsey' set would be impressed. Nuff said.
Col. Herriott,
You thoughts please. You said something about Wayne Franzen having a hard time with two's without harness, and as I have been looking I note, a lot of the "naked" acts have not got two's in the act. That seems basic, and I am wondering if you knew why? They all seem to do the same thing. Three's, split reverse, waltz, wheel.
I also wonder why we don't see more split reverse with a ring curb stand and the back, back into a split reverse. I think that is a beautiful behavior and you don't see it much.

We learn in liberty training that horses have a natural tendency to race against each other and when we are teaching controlled routines of say, twos, fours, wheel , etc. where they become side by side, we need checks on harness to keep a steady gait rather than them being more easily able to dart ahead, etc. or asw generally happens they try to out run the lead horse. Some trainers allow hell bent for election, but as seen is pretty rough, while others train them to do it in a walk. Either case they are showing lack of skill, knowledge and experience. Why we have no two way routine and stop on both sides is again lack of trainer or presenters skill in having them passing to a stop eaxactly correct pon both sides. It has always been in my reperatoire from Cole bROS. DAYS OF THE OLD SCHOOL TRAINERS.
Col. Herriott,
I didn't quite understand that. Are you saying "training" at an occasional walk is bad, or are you saying presenting the completed act at a walk is bad?
