In sample 6 of 7 horse training videos, horse trainer Eric Bravo demonstrates natural horsemanship training riding bareback and bridleless. Everything done in groundwork carries over here, but now we're really using body language to communicate cues to the horse to move the forehand, hindquarter, going forward, backing up and stopping. Also covers having a good riding seat while bareback.

Sample clip from Eric Bravo's Natural Horsemanship Leadership Series, horse training video 1: Catching and Leading Your Horse. Eric works with a hard to catch horse to establish leadership. By becoming a leader for the horse, you can start to earn her trust which then leads into the connection you're looking for. After reaching a point where the horse allows Eric to put the halter on, he then runs through some leading exercises to reinforce leadership, trust, and respect with the horse.
